Yes I dropped the R18 and this is the story :
Everything started well this Sunday September 3. It was sunny. We had chosen the right clothes to be comfortable on the motorbike which sped peacefully on the secondary roads between Lorient and Quimperlé where we drank a coffee near Les Halles. The next step should have taken us to the Douarnenez Plogonnec sector, yes but I did not see the oil trail in the first roundabout from Coat Canton to Rosporden and this oil trail was fatal to us . The motorcycle suddenly overturned and then slid about ten meters. Holding it with my left foot did nothing other than fracture my malleolus. During the fall the helmets hit the road, Catherine, my passenger, also fell on the left side. She has a large bruise on her upper thigh. Very kind people arrived on site and started to help while waiting for emergency team, the firefighters were really on top. I was given a sedative because the pain became terrible. I lost consciousness at one point which made it possible to reduce the fracture on site. The Rosporden gendarmes carried out an alcohol test, which was negative. They noted the presence of oil on the roundabout, the cause of my fall. The cylinder guard played its role very well, it is the only part to replace, according to the expert. Then it was transported by ambulance to the Scorff hospital where x-rays were taken on Catherine, who has no fracture, and me, who had to undergo surgery with screw placement and a cast. I went out on Monday 4th late in the afternoon. Prohibited from putting my left foot on the ground, the walker and the English canes will accompany me for a few more weeks. apart from that morale is good...
