Crash damage

[woll]

As many of you probably know by know i had a fail, ended up arguing with a wall . Still don't remember what happened, i've been having nightmares about it. Same thing happens everytime, go round a bend then the back wheel locks up for no reason. I try my best to control it but end up hitting the wall then wake up.
Managed to break 2 ribs, pop both lungs, damage my kidney and spleen, broke my face around the eye socket, snapped both bones in my wrist and knakered a ligament in my wrist. Was originally told I had 2 fractures in my back, went for a check up Monday.
The consultant that did my check up discovered there was actually 5 fractures, not just 2. He sent me for an x-ray, this showed there was only 2 fractures that haven't healed and possibly one that hasn't quite healed. He said I should of had surgery but because it's healed so well upto now that i shouldn't need it any more. Also discovered that i may have scoliosis, but it's hard to safely say because my wonky spine could have been caused by the impact. Good news is my back shouldn't stop me working as long as i dont lift anything heavy.
Got to go hospital again Monday. X ray then if my wrist has healed i'll be having the cast off and the all clear to work. If not then it's back to have my wrist operated on again and have the bone rebroke and the metal plates put back in position.

Police released my bike today. This is how it looks.

It's a lot better than I expected. Needs new forks, yokes and a front wheel to get it riding again. To get it road legal on the other hand might need a bit more lol.
Quite surprised it still turns over and attempted to fire. Might of helped if i put the tank on lol. The clip ons aren't bent just need re-setting, tank isn't dented just needs some paint. And to me the frame looks straight.

I should be getting my skid lid and what not back tomorrow off the police. i'm going to try and get copies of my x-rays and scans on Monday too.

so did the police take the air box and carbs off to check on the restriction then put it all back together?

[Fisty]

Subframe looks straight and the chain correctly adjusted!

Well the police man dealing with the investigation has just been.
No point putting up pictures of the gear. Besides the cuts the paramedics made in my jacket to get me out of it you can't tell i crashed in it. And the helmet looks perfectly fine, visor has broke.
I was expecting the helmet to have a big dent in it on my left where i broke my face, i was told the front of the helmet was smashed up. So I'm not quite sure how i managed to break my face.
The careless driving is not for the accident but my riding style before the accident. Apparntley there's a witness that say's i was overtaking on double white and doind exssive speeds. So why the lad that was with me isn't getting prosecuted i don't know. Then there's driving not in terms to my licence. He's not heard from the insurance to wether i would still be covered. Although he believes i should be, in cases similar he said the insurance normally still covers the rider third party only but doesn't cover for any losses to the rider. (not like i'm claiming anyway). He thinks that i'll be looking at 6 points if my insurance say they would still cover me.
But he also thinks that it'll be bye bye licence . He wasn't 100% sure but he thinks the new drivers act still applies to me. Even though i passed my tractor test well over two years ago. Not sure wether this is the case or not because i have code 118 by my tractor entitlement. According to the goverments website 118 means - start date is for earliest entitlement
https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/DriverLicensing/WhatCanYouDriveAndYourObligations/DG_10022623
And it doesn't mention on the new drivers act if the tractor test does apply to it or not.
https://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/LearnerAndNewDrivers/NewlyQualifiedDrivers/DG_4022566
It does say that it only applies from when you passed your first test, s by rights the tractor test should get me out of it. But i'm still preparing myself for loosing my licence, it's looking like i'll have to change career. Think I'll go and get shot at if that happens.

Sorry to hear that chap.

Others will hopefully heed this as a warning that people do still get caught for riding without a restriction.

Shit son, feel horrible for you! Unlucky on being on the receiving end of a cocking by a wall.

On the plus side, ....

... wait, there is no plus side.

Might want to get that frame jigged just to be sure it's straight, would suck to spend money fixing it to find out it's a bit wonky. It did take a serious impact judging by the state of the yokes

I'm not fixing it up even though i could street fighter it, without too much trouble. It's the second cbr to try and kill me, even if the 125 was my own stupidity. I'm not risking another, 3rd time lucky n all that .
when i have my right hand back it'll be getting stripped sold as spares on ebay, what ever doesn't sell will be weighed in.

That's sucks woll, when I had my accident on the drz they did me for careless driving (over taking on a junction) but Thames valley police gave me the option of the RiDe course which if you complete it, will mean you don't receive the points.

Worth asking if your constabulary offer the same course!

I was 19 and still on restricted lincense, but they never took the bike to check - I would imagine they would only check if there was serious injurys

Because one random says you were riding dangerous you will get 6 points? I can't see that somehow. I'd take it to court.

Careless driving carries 3-9 penalty points, I've faced it before, but when it got to court it was presented at Dangerous driving.
I had it dismissed, but I was disqualified under the judges discretion anyway.

My point is, seeing as how you've come off in this incident anyway then you may have some bargaining for a lesser penalty if something like a rider improvement scheme isn't on offer.
So if you can't successfully argue it, which I don't see as being a problem against one witness...
Plead to their compassionate side (which I'm not sure is actually there, but you can imagine they have one if it helps )
and they may well see that you've already lost out big time for your 'crime' and decide to lessen the blow with say only 3 points.

Driving otherwise than in accordance with a License carries 3-6, so again hope that they pass the lesser punishment, I don't see how you're going to argue this one.
