That is an incredible injury and story.  So unfortunate and so lucky at the same time.  It is fantastic that you are again able to walk on your leg - and great that you still have a desire to ride.  Best wishes with your recovery and god bless.  And be sure to spend lots of your healing time with us on the site!

flynhigh, godspeed in your recovery.  Your story is remarkably similar to my brother's.  he wrecked his Fatboy in June 07.  Here's the story on this site.  His most recent surgery was a couple of months ago to remove the external support rod and close it up.  he's still on crutches and has a removable cast for day time support and is back to work.

Your recommendation for increasing the underinsured motorist liability is a good one and I put mine to the MAX after my brothers accident.  It cost me $30 more/year.

Again, thanks for sharing and we are all praying for you.

Welcome to the site!

Thanks for all the kind words.  I will get back on my steel horse.  It was scary when I got back on my quad the first few times after I broke my left leg, but I managed.  I know this may sound strange and maybe morbid, but if I am to go leave this life I cant think of a better way to go than riding my bike.  It is usually when I am the happiest.  Once I get my bike all together Ill post some pics of it. I put new handlebars on it, forward controls and a 6 spd.  Below is my main inspiration to get better.  Amazing I  only knew her for 18 months yet she stuck by my side better than my ex of 10 years.  She is a good rider thats her 2007 Dyna low rider,  I didnt think I would like her riding her own bike and not feeling her hold onto me, but there is nothing better than seeing her in my mirror...  Thank you again for all of your thoughts and prayers

flynhigh,

Glad to hear your doing well with your recovery.  Boy those pictures make me cringe and bring back some not so fond memories for me.  Welcome to the site and the broken/shattered tibia club   Screws, and titanium rods woohoo.

I can't say you're morbid, because that is almost exactly the same thing I said about my accident, can't think of a better way to go if I have to go and its my time then doing something I love to do.   

Bet you are just loving that strength and gait training.   Stick with it, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

flynhigh, thanks for sharing all with us.  You've been thru a lot and seem to be managing some of the hardest struggles very well.  I must say you've given us all more reasons to ride safe, but often as you strive to get back in the saddle.  Luckily you didn't completely lose the leg as that type of bumper-to-leg injury seems to often take the leg/or foot.  Must say you've got a special friend sticking by you thru this.......let us hear as you progress.  spyder

I am saddened to read of your experience but it brings me joy to read of the positive outlook you have.  Please know that you have site members that care and pray for you.
