Unfortunately not, broken pelvis. damaged legs etc, still recovering but you just have to get your leg over that saddle and keep on riding!
Sorry to hear that, I’m sure it’s not easy but like you said you got to Keep on riding 👊

Unfortunately today, we are not on the road with real drivers anymore.
We are on the road with zombies writing emails, chats, instagramming their stupidity looking down or around or on anything but the road …

On tour with my R1150GS.

Corsica. My camera lens broke, so I don't have many photos from that trip. Scanned from slides. The blueish tint is due to the kodachrome material which is extremely difficult to scan. And my scanning experience was still poor.SCN032_05424.jpg

Near Mezzolombardo, where the unmatched "Teroldego" red wine comes from.

And that's what was a new tire at the beginning of the trip looks like after 4000 Kms through Switzerland, Italy and southern France.

The roads there were just too good for less fun. :)

The other prick in the meantime is galavanting about not thinking of you or the damaged they caused.

Hope your mending up ok there all the same!

Good ol' Kodachrome! Scanners had a hard time punching through that emulsion back in the day.
