Do not drop your bike on your leg if you do not have ATGATT.

This was after one week

This happened when I was stopping and put my foot in a hole and the bike toppled over onto my calf. Was wearing all my gear including GS boots and after 16 days I think I almost have the use back of my leg, imagine I just had tackies on. It was the pillion peg that got hold of the leg, I was lying in an awkward position and I was pinned down till someone could pick the bike up!

This is today

Doctor said its amazing the leg was not broken, this happened at 0 kilometres per hour! Serious internal bleeding and crushed calf muscles.

Wear ATGATT
