While just a little indisposed in a hospital bed, some "mates" have undertaken to use the internet to sell my used hyper. Any takers?

cut and paste from another forum - i cant use too many fingers yet
fyi thanks guys - yes you are right about mates.

My long term riding buddy and great friend Ian (Minusone) had a serious bike crash today.

Ian suffered a very serious leg injury and a broken thumb after colliding with a car doing a right hand turn out of a driveway on a double lined blind corner at Manly today. Ian didn't stand a chance. There was no evidence of any application of brakes as he collided with the front offside of the MG, dislodging its front wheel, stoving in the mudguard and bonnet.

The raised bonnet did most of the damage to Ian's left leg. I was fortunate (unfortunate) enough to arrive at hospital just as they were removing the dressing. The bonnet has cut his leg like a surgeon's knife just above the knee, all the way to the bone and then degloved that great lump of flesh up towards his groin. You could easily fit my fully clenched fist and then some into the remaining cavity. You could see all the knee joint and the femur. Fortunately he wasn't in any pain (morphine assisted) and could move and feel all of his toes. He is very lucky not to have lost his leg. His right thumb also looks pretty bad. Apart from that he looks pretty good.
The Ducati is not so good, front end very worse for wear.

Ian is one of the original DBWer's and is known by many as a very helpful, thoughtful, patient rider who is always there to lend a hand. He is also reknown to participate in the odd play race and spectacular crash. Who could ever forget the day he turned his VOR inside out at Dooralong at 70ks.

Get well soon Ian. I had a similar incident over 30 years ago whilst riding a BSA 175cc Bantam. Fortunately my injuries were restricted to a broken thumb, I was knocked off by a guy in a Mark II Ford Escort & the front wing stayed intact (as did my leg).

Hope you are back on your bike soon.

Motorbikes are dangerous eh Ian?

I'm recovering from a compound broken leg and hand myself.
