Fisheruk Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well done mate. 13 years ago I said goodbye to my wife and kids, because they didn't think I would last the night.

Pole Star Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Best of luck for the future. Hope you don't mind me asking what happened. Thanks Mark Thanks lads what happened ? oh ! God its a long story & much to long to post here but it short the reason I posted this thread was because when I watched the BBC news yesterday morning I heard about a young British lass who had just arrived in New York & was hit by a taxi & the poor girl had to have her leg amputated & I really felt for here because I knew what it was she was going through & then I realized it was 30 years ago to the day that I lost my left leg below the knee . In short I was on my way home from flight training on my lovely Norton Commando when a woman failed to give way & pulled onto the highway & hit me ! I have no memory of that event I just woke up some days later at night alone & in a lot of pain & wondered where I was & why most of the pain was in my leg , so I used all my strength just to lift my head off the pillow to look at my leg only to see a bandaged stump with a drain tube coming out of it & I passed out again . The rest I suppose is history & a hell of a lot more happened before & since that day & the last near miss was a few years ago on my way up up the M6 when I met some head case on a harry carry mission heading south the wrong way & I just missed him ! . Anyway life is great & I have been to lots of places & done lots of things & plan to do much more so I just keep going on & its great to be here even if it just to p off enemies !! . So lets just pause for a moment & think of that poor young British lass in New York & what she must be going through right this very moment .
