"Thankfully I do not remember anything other than seeing my bike getting smaller and smaller under me... literally lost conscious on the impact."

We're blessed that we're wired so that we don't remember those really bad things. I had four accidents in six years. Two I don't remember. Two I do - they just required screws in shoulders. I was 59 for the first. Do that stuff when you're young. There came a point for me where healing pain/time became unacceptable. My biggest hope is that one day the nerves below my knees will reconnect so I can feel the bottoms of my feet again.

Ouch. Depending on the lesion, nerves do/should reconnects (1mm per week if what I've read before is correct). Takes time, years in many cases but it does come back. Guess that is the ultimate patience test. Sorry to hear bud :/

Thanks brother. That 675 is ultralight, stay safe man
