An absolute Barsteward! I can only offer my commiserations and wish you a speedy recovery. As the others have said your health is more important, especially if your nuts are like oranges. Plenty of R&R and no heavy lifting until the bruising disapates.
Having had a similar experience with an Audi TT and a young women driver in 2017, whilst riding my old SRX600 in town at ~20mph and been sideswiped as she accelerated right, through me for the parking space! "I'm sorry I didn't see you. Perhaps you should get off the road as you are holding up the traffic?", were the immortal words! At least you have no broken bones, my right leg tib and fib are now pinned and it was compound as well. Thankfully, the 450 can still be kicked over! and I hope that it is not long before you are busying yourself with repairs to the wee beastie.
I too have had the 450 head off and checked over, in the ongoing carburettor launching saga on another thread that I hope to be adding to soon.
Keep taking the anti-inflammatories and watch where you put the 'Tiger Balm'!
Wish you a speedy recovery, Bill
Thanks Bill, hope your 450 is running soon. Although reading you posts will keep me entertained I look forward to a happy conclusion. You are certainly not a quitter
