We've all done it! Working on the car, the spanner slips and you take the skin off your knuckles, slip and cut yourself etc. I've seen a few beauties recently :LOL: and it made me decide to start this thread. I know there's a nice one of Dogsbody's thumb with the skin hanging off it when he, bobster and myself machettied the st200 engine from that nice blue mondeo :eek:
We want piccies, so if your squeemish or have a weak stomach, i recommend you don't visit anymore :beer:.

...so i'm going to start with a photo of my grazed shin, i do this quite a lot as you can see, a previous scrape has only just healed after a managed to drop a C2 leather drivers seat on it :eek:, then the new fresh one i aquired on Sunday at Castleford while helping Mart strip his car, i think i did it on the sill when i was crouching down to look up under the roof/door trims :)

...about 1" diameter for those interested :beer:

Vehicles in general i suppose add, the more the merrier, as long as it's your scar :LOL:

In that case Al....

This is what a drunk Tuk Tuk driver can do when they slam in to the side of you on your VFR750... (n)

You can't see the broken bones, but there was quite a few... So i have quite a few battle scars now.. :rolleyes:
 
The bike didn't look too bad though Add.

I was hit from the side Mark, he flew out of a car park and hit me... so i took more of the impact than the bike did, although the doctor after my operation said if i was on my smaller bike i would not be here..

Come to think of it the worst bit of all of it was, they first told me to call home to say goodbye as they did not think i was going to make the night, then they left me with a ruptured spleen for 14 hours before they would operate, and then found i had also torn my liver in half and lost the use of my left kidney..
 
I would show you my brain scans but the doctors wont let me have them ! put it simply 33% of the blood was cut off to my brain and i'm still here also!!!!

I have to be honest Mark, it's been remarkable how fast your recovering, and great to see chap... you know exactly what i mean when i say life has a whole new meaning since something like that happens to you..
 
Its the little things that keep us going though Like how am I stilll alive and if I am I aint go burn out yet
