Everything commenced during the weekend previous to Thanksgiving. Driving my 88 Monty I noticed that the breaks were making a noice indicative of new break pads were needed. That week the temperatures were mild so I decided to ride my motorcycle, a gorgeous 2004 all black Triumph Speed Triple, one of only 200. Everything was fine when on Thanksgiving eve on my way home from the office and only 2 miles from home a dear came out of nowhere and hit me on the rigth side knock me down uncouncious and completely destroying the bike.
With the impact I suffered of a fractured left elbow, fractured right wrist, fractured toes on my right foot and two "almost" third degree burns on my left back tight and calf caused by the hot pipe. The process has been very painful and energy draining, since I have been through 3 surgeries in a matter of 5 weeks. Surgeries to place a titanium plate on my right wrist and to replaced my left elbow with one of the same alloy. A second surgey to "prepair" my leg wounds for a skin graph and a third surgery to do the graph.
At this very moment I am almost through the suffering and the pain. I am working on my physical therapy and Im little by little gaining back my energy and strength. I spent Thanksgiving, the holidays and my birthday on Jan 15th either in bed or in my favorite chair down in the living room. All this has brought to a halt my turbo project but not for long. I got the engine block to the bare bones and I am working the little details on the fuel injection system, but more updates will follow.
For now I wanted to say report myself back to our Wire community and say hi to y'all.

Well, that sucks. It sounds like you are recovering pretty fast (must be cause you want the turbo done). Sorry to hear about the bike. Get better.

Glad you made it through ok.... Hope you're not in too much pain now.

Jeez, so did you find the deer? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> You should be able to run the deer over with the Monty once it's finished <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

Rolando, do you need anything? I'm close and loose. Glad to help with the turbo, too...

I like that idea.

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Yeah, that does suck. Get well soon <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Road trip!

Dude, you have our phone numbers. Why are we just now finding out about this??? Seriously, if you need anything at all, pick up the phone.

damn that sucks.Is wear deer were meant to get hit or run into cars and omtorcycles. I nailed on this summer with my van, Hit the back half of it and it looked like a helicopter crashing off the road.

Damn, Javy. Hang tough big guy... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />
