I have not be on-line for the last two weeks as I am recovering from a serious accident with a pick-up on June 21st. I was riding down Hwy#53 in the Ancaster area at about 4:20 pm when a pick-up truck pulled out from a side road without looking right into my path. I "T" boned the truck at about 60 -65 kph. On inpact I was thrown backwards in the air and landed about 10 feet away. I was wearing full gear and an Arai helmet and my only injury was a broken left femur. To fix the leg they put a steel rod down the middle of the bone and a series of screws to hold it all together. I spent 6 days in the Hamilton General and I have been home now for 9 days. There is quite a bit of pain but I am improving every day. At the doctors visit today he said that I am looking at a full recovery but it will take 3-4 months. I now must decide what to do about riding. I want to get back to it as soon as possible but I need to keep in mind that I could have been killed and I have a wife a two children to think about. Imput from the GTA members would be welcome. I would really like to hear from anyone who found themselves in my situation.
