I would love to get back on a bike, but ive got other people to think about, and not myself....
Yeah, im not being nasty, but i think you know what i mean 
As i say though, you've had a fairly quick crash, and your still walking, count the lucky stars and be very gratefull for that.
Any motorcycle crash you can walk (or limp, or crawl  ) from can only be a lucky thing.
As for getting back on, I do understand what you mean.
Still, you have the license, nothing to stop you in the furture 
Just remember your leathers

Bloody hell Matt! 
That realy sucks arse.
You've only had it a while too.
Sorry you got hurt mate, but so glad to hear it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it could have been (perish the thought).
Such a lovely bike too, just as i'd have it.
Poxy vermin  Bring back fox hunting but with urban foxes. They are a blight.
Apart from spending too much money on cars, beer and music, this is the main reason why I didn't get the bike/s of my dreams years ago.
You seem to have luck like me Matt, so probably better to quit while you're ahead and preserve your health/life.
Got a mate who's in a wheelchair from a bike accident years ago. Every time we meet up i'm reminded why I don't ride. 
Treat yourself to a nice fast car once you've got your confidence back and have become tired of the Astra.

Blimey.
I would have thought add a couple of grand to that from looking at it.
Bargain mate.

Cheers everyone, just really bored at home, cant do anything, arghhh!
It flipped the bike, so the front and rear is the worst. Easily repariable, the wheels are going to cost the most, around 350quid.

Glad your ok mate. Your very lucky, bet your appreciating life alot more at the minuite.
I lost someone very close to me last year from a bike accident. She came off and slid into a post but there is still no news from how it happend, they think a car was involved but drove off . Goes to show how easy it is.
