Full face for the win!!

Bike damage was limited to:
Forks, head bearing, subframe, swing arm was scratched, left side and tail bodywork, upper fairing, left lever and bar end, left side pegs, lever, and engine case.

Hell it was all good. I got it out of the ditch and rode it 25 miles to the next town...

Ouch - I can relate, having shattered both of mine before. I was lucky & didn't require surgery for either, but one side does still 'crunch' a little when I move my arm a certain way - nice lumps on both sides too.
Good luck for a speedy & full healing process!

That took stones, considering how badly broken it obviously was!

Default 2 more months of pain

The Ortho tells me today that I am healing but if I dont wait another month to heal and then have the plate removed I might need a small perm plate inserted. I go back in April for one last look and toe schedule the operation...Wheee. After looking at my deductible and my co pays I will be broke till at least September...
