Rider down Nielson and Sheppard
Was comming home, saw a bike laying on its side in the middle of the intersection.. Only got a glimpse of the rear tire, looked like it belonged to a sport bike. Didnt see the rider or paramedics, apparantly he/she was taken to hospital by then. I'm speculating that a left turning car struck the bike as it was going north south on nielson.
Hope rider is okay.. I live 2 mins away and pass by that intersection a few times a day. Gonna head out now, I'll take a look to see if they're still there. It's the first time I saw a bike accident in person and it really shook me up.

Hi everyone, the OP is speaking about my accident, I was going south on Neilson when a cager turned left in front of me. The lights were green and there was no rush for her to turn when she did.
My bike is totaled and so are my arms. I also lost a testicle :(
I was riding very safe and still almost lost my life, so ride safe everyone and watch out for bad drivers.
Re: Rider down Nielson and Sheppard
any pictures of the tank getting the worst of it? Kidding aside wishing you all the best in speedy recovery. And don't worry too much about the bike at least you lived to ride another day bike can always be replaced but you can't.

Damn man sorry to hear about the injuries but at least you're still here.
Any word on what happened to the driver? was she charged or anything?
Get well soon bud
Re: Rider down Nielson and Sheppard
I sent a search party to Nielson and Sheppard Fitz, but they couldn't find your lost testicle. :dontknow:
:D Ok, i hope that cheered you up a bit, if it makes you feel better, i have a friend named one-nut, gets him laid all the time.
But seriously, all the best to you man, crashes like this really make me angry, drivers are getting worse every day.
You sure type well with 2 busted arms, i hope they heal up fast, you kinda need those.

Get well soon. As others have said, follow the physio instructions to the letter. My brother lost a testical in a motorcycle accident too. You only need one. His worked fine and I'm now an uncle!
Like him, I am sure you'll make a full recovery and be back on the bike in due time. Then you hire a lawyer and sue the pants off the driver through insurance, and you'll be a rich, 1-nutter! You can even go inquire about a prosthetic nut and add that to your list for pain, suffering, accident benefits, etc.. Just ram the system for everything its worth, and drive up everyone else's insurance premiums. LOLOL.
