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.

What did you do to piss off mother nature so much that she sends a dear running into you on your motor cycle at the exact "right" time? lol My hopes for a speedy recovery are of equal amounts of hopes for pictures of the bike, dear, and updates on turbo build.
