Could be up to another 12-15 months before I’m riding again. Once the bone is fixed, I’ll need to rebuild the muscle and get Leggy McLegster working properly again. I think I’ll go for another Triumph Explorer, but whatever I get, it’ll be a “big trailie” style. Nothing is “in”or “out”, it’ll depend on budget and what’s available/takes my fancy. Ms Dibble is happy with me getting another bike but she hasn’t decided whether or not she’ll pillion with me (even though I was solo when I had my off).
Amputation was (and still is) an option, but the prognosis today was better than it was two days ago, now they’ve been able to actually get inside and see what’s what.

glad to see progress being made!
have to say i don't love biking enough to go through what you are and be looking for a new bike!
think I'd be looking at an elise/caterham or something a little more protected, fair play to ya!
Can you get such a thing for the price of a bike though, or would be an absolute nail?have to say i don't love biking enough to go through what you are and be looking for a new bike!

Any fit nurses there?
Once again, PH asks the important questions... Strangely, there’s a motorcyclist in the bed next to me who broke his leg last year. Not naming names or doing selfies, but he’s from Morecambe and won’t be doing the TT this year either. Nice guy and dead friendly (why wouldn’t he be?).
