Busted pelvis ,both femurs ,the right real bad , 4 vertebrae ,6 ribs ,crushed right foot, tore left knee apart , broken right tib and fib , ruptured colon ,spleen ,liver, pancreas ,right kidney and nearly bit my tongue right off. Give up on bone grafts ect and chopped the right leg off in 2019 ....ah yeah so I dont get out much now, sold most guns off ,sad times that but I was never going to use big guns anymore .
I have restored a couple of bikes ( 1980 RD 400g and a 74 Moto Guzzi 850t and a 1990 Ducati Paso ) and Im now working on my 1980 Capri . I was going for a rover v8 and 5 speed but I have had to go for a sludge box ....so working on that now . I build the odd trailer .
I have a brilliant partner and enough money to get by . Things sure have changed but life is good .
Apart from all that the usual shit ,up half the night trying to piss ,cant see to read without glasses ,deaf in left ear .....all the nagging from the passenger seat and t2 diabetes .
Ugh :-)))
