Cheers all. The good wishes are very much appreciated, and help a lot.
Have seen docs again yesterday and the right hand is out of action for a few weeks.
Bike is a write off too.

Right hand out of action and nothing to do but sit home on the internet? Hmmmm! Interesting problem.
Get well soon!
Get well soon from across the pond

Though I would drop you a quick line here from sunny Florida - don't know you Mr Burner therefore cannot possibly comment on any malicious right hand issues (
) but wish you speedy recovery anyway.

basic story is : Landy in front of me got cut-up, braked hard, lost control & started to spin slowly, slowing down faster than I possibly could so I hit him. (nowhere to go: I was hard on the brakes on damp slippery roads with a Landy at 90 degrees in front of me filling every escape route.
)

Bollox - at least you didn't go down and under by the sounds of it. Very nasty indeed, and scary too. Like a flippin bad dream.
Well, hope to see you back on the road again soon.

I had a very similar accident. A van braked hard in front of me in the wet. I was too close and grabed a handful and the bike went down. It edded up under the van and then I ended up behind it. Lots of bruises but no serious damage. That's what made me buy ABS the next time. I couldn't guarantee that if the same thing happened again that I wouldn't react in the same way. What were you wearing? Did you have full kit on?
