hello NY, goodbye Panigale... ATGATT!

Good Luck !

I read your story and every second i was hoping at the end you are ok, glad to hear you will make a full recovery.

WHEW !

All the best and I wish you a speedy recovery!!

Get well soon bro!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Good luck, hope you'll be back to normal with no lasting effects from this accident.

Greetings from sunny New Mexico. Take care of yourself and get well soon.

A great testament to proper riding gear, and attitude. Get well quick, and back out there brother.

Sorry to hear about your incident and trust you have a rapid recovery. In an effort to make your day that little bit better I am in the process of uploading some bike .....

good to read that you're alive!

get well soon!

Phil

Good luck, and get well soon.

Sorry to hear that, hope you get the guy. These cases should be treated as an attempt of murder, I'd also vote for public hanging for rapers and child molesters etc.. Just like the old days, save the system a lot of money and insurance companies too. They will think about it 1 million times before doing it. Get well Cheers.....

Brutal!!! Best wishes in your recovery.
Hope they find the fukwit driver and hang him by his balls.

Heal up soon so you can get back out there.

I hope the police are working with you on getting everything resolved.

Sorry to hear about the damage.
Get well soon!

Thanks for sharing! It's heartening to see that you're itching to get back on two wheels. Inspiring!

Thanks guys! I am recovering well! Only problem is I stay up all night looking at bikes online, waiting for the moment I'm mobile enough to go out and pick one up, and take it for a sweet ride. I want to ride more than I want to walk, by far! And it will be soon, I'll pick up that MTS right away at the end of September and ride into the winter. Hallelujah!

Do me a favor, all of you lucky .......s, when you're out on your Pani's this weekend, or next week or whatever, just remind yourself how awesome it is to ride that beast, remember how much fun it is, ....... ENJOY yourself!!! That what it's all about. I cannot wait!

P.S. I consider myself very lucky that I'll be able to get back on a bike, and it gives me a real sense of compassion for those who won't. Love kope999r's story -- awesome! I hope I can help someone like that someday. Hell yes!!!

Showerfan, it's good to know that you are ok and recovering well. I would sock it to him once they find his sorry ..., God speed bro.

Wishing you all the best. I am in a similar situation and now 5 1/2 years after the collision. I was t-boned on my '06 749 by a drunk driver that ran a stop sign on my way home from work. Like you I nearly lost my leg, a dozen surgeries in the first year with multiple bone and soft tissue grafts, two broken wrists, five cracked vertebrae from my neck to between my shoulders, massive trauma to my internal organs including a ruptured spleen and a minor concussion. This was with Sidi vertebra race boots, an AGV TiTech helmet which now sits in my man-cave, A-Stars GP gloves, and a fully armoured Icon jacket.

I am grateful for every day since and it took almost 2 1/2 years to get back on a bike post accident. In no way am I trying to compare or one-up anyone here. One of the most frustrating things for me to hear through my recovery was "I was in an accident, I broke my leg, etc. but its nothing like what happened to you." The bottom line is injury sucks and it is different for everyone and we all handle things in different ways.

There are many horror stories out there with many great outcomes. Stay positive and it will all be in the rearview mirror of your new Ducati soon enough!
