I'm so proud of what the guys in uniform do.

I just wish the politicians weren't so stupid to put them in places were they are at so much risk.

wow these are some impressive pictures - obviously you have some pretty stressful and dangerous jobs - no wonder you've chosen a b7 rs4 worrying about carbon build up or dodgy drc must be like a walk in the park. lol

These pics mean a lot to me as I feel I cheated death and serious injury, with only a sprained ankle and a bruised back.

A guy in a rover 220 pulled out of a layby on my side of the road on a blind bend coming towards me, I came round the bend at 60mph and hit him full on in the rear behind the drivers door , I did a superman over the roof and landed about 30ft down the road and tumbled like a rag doll a further 30ft or so . I wasnt knocked out and I managed to drag my self off the road so I didnt get run over by anyone else. I think someone was looking after me that day lol.

I know it sound cliche but it does make you appreciate life a bit more.

Dougie, you lucky git!

I had exactly the same scenario on my Duke 748, except I hit the front drvrs side wheel/wing at 50 mph. I didn't get off so lightly though. I landed on my head and bounced down the road.

Intubated at roadside & airlifted from scene. GCS of 3 shortly after admittance and touch & go for three days. It was a life changing event for me; ended my career in a flash. Multiple injuries and horrible painful memories. It left me with a traumatic brain injury, double vision, hip & back injuries and on morphine for the rest of my life.

Still, musn't grumble and I never do as there's always somebody worse off. I could have been paralysed but I wasn't. They say 'you never know what's round the corner'. How true, how true...

Yes, very lucky. Same thing happened to a guy I knew (hint: knew not know) - he ended up inside the car.

We are living on borrowed time buddy. That's how I look at life now.

Sorry to hear about your injuries, your attitude is inspiring. I was lucky, unbeleivably in fact. My wife begged me not to get another, ive ridden bikes since I was 9 years old. So the week after the accident we bought the rs4 and she loves it.

Cheers Dougie
