Sounds excruciating but – you may consider it a mere scratch after the following.

I gather it happened 30-odd years ago and a chap on a Triumph came to a similarly abrupt halt, or rather the bike did. He slid up the tank and “through” the handlebars, performing on the way a permanent and total castration before destroying his legs on the ‘bars. I don’t know if he actually lost his legs but even if not they don’t work at all and he’s spent the time since in a wheelchair. A contemporary of his was telling me about it in the pub one night while pointing at the junction where it happened. Brought a pain to the trouser area just hearing about it.

Just a scratch Al.
