Keeping The Shiny Side Up.....Don't Look If Your Squeemish

Tsalagi:
Sorry to hear that. Driving a tow truck on police rotation broke me of any desire to ride a motorcycle. I never went to a motorcycle accident that wasn't a fatality.

El Destructo:
I guess thats why the Emergency Room Staff call them....Donor Cycle Accidents.... >:(

Here is a Shot of Ricky's Good Arm before the Stitches and Grafts He is going to need...I won't show His Right Arm....The Doctors are optimistic that He will keep it though...But His Leg started hurting Him overnight...and they drew over 100cc's of Blood out of His Knee....they say He tore His ACL in his Left Knee...and they found out He has Diabetes to boot....

damn dude thats gotta hurt  :o

i always wear my skull bucket and leather when i ride,regardless of temp
i know it wont prevent accidents,but it does add an extra layer of protection

hope he recovers with little to no permanent injuries

i drove wrecker for many years.most bike accidents that i went on were fatal ones
but all had injuries to some extent,even just the slow speed accidents
hell when an old lady reended me at a stop(about 10 mph )i still ended up with a nice,slightly larger than softball size bruise on my left knee
that is where the bike hit me when it shot out from under me

bike accidents are never just a "little accident"

once again Mike,i hope he recovers without the loss of anything
he will be in my thoughts

HoBow:
I got the crap scared out of me on the back of a Harley one time and never cared to get on one again!  My boss rides and he doesn't get on it much since he had his kid because of all the near hits and cars that push him off the road.  Good luck to your buddy Mike- looks like he should stay drugged up for a month or so.

mullet:
 This is why I've been looking at Ultra- Lite Parasails. Glide all day when the motor shuts off to find a landing spot,  no old ladies pulling out in front of you, and cheaper than a Harley.
