f%$k

[spc]

I'm writing this with one hand because I broke the thumb on my other hand   some dickwad changed into my lane and slammed straight into me   I went flying.  I don't know how bad the gs is but it didnt look to rough,  needs a left side engine cover   My helmet saved my life   and my jacket saved me roadrash over an estimated 30% of my body thank god for gear.  My damage: shattered thumb carpal shattered pinky to, fractured shoulder, one little spot of road rash on my forarm and a nice hunk on my knee and several deep gouges on one ankle.  I'm on demerol, loritabs and flexeril right now so I'm goin to sleep

Moral of the story: wear you f%$king gear!!!!!

[bombadillo]

[bubba zanetti]

Thats no good dude, make sure you get the good drugs 

[zephler]

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Holy chit! Glad you're alright man. Did anyone grab his plate number or anything?

[SmartDrug]

shaZam! man, I'm glad to hear that you're alright.  Get insurance to pay for the bike and buy my Daytona!!  Ha!  Seriously though, that sucks ass, is it a clean break?  Any muscle/tendon/ligament damage?  Get some rest brother.

[RVertigo]

OK...  Who picked May 25th?

I know... Not really the time to be a dickhead...

Sorry you got crashed Special Terry.  Glad you weren't hurt too badly.  I hope your CO doesn't string you up.

. Feel Better Dude , Hope It wasnt your shooting hand .

I Hate These Cagers . Just They Dont Look ,.

[RVertigo]

We have to look for them.     But, I must say that FREAKING LOUD PIPES do help people notice you...   A little.

But, even with a bright-freakin'-ORANGE bike... YELLOW gear...  DAMN LOUD Straight pipes....  I've still had lots of people try to drive through me.

Man, that's a tough time you got. Glad to hear you're riding safe and geared up, it's proven again the value of just a few peices of equipment vs road rash. You'll likely get plenty of help from the great guys here with setting up your girl again.

On the driver of the cage:

Did he stop for the accident and have insurance ? Will you be sueing ? Was he apologetic or typically abusive and condescending ?

Be carefull with those med's

sorry to hear about the bad luck my friend.    We all have to be carefull this weekend. Tons of stressed out moms in minivans driving like they are late for soccer practice.  While trying to beat everyone else to the beach.  Get better

[MikeNW]

Get well!
I'm still going through therapy for my mangled finger from my November crash.

MY ADVICE- make sure you get two opinions, especially for fingers!  I learned the hard way. 
Hand and finger work is a SPECIALTY!  Don't mess around- make sure it's done right!  The bone doctor doesn't know about hands. 

Hope everything works out for you.

The guy ran   but the police and hospital said that UM should pay for everything   I go to see the ortho doc tuesday   the guy in ER said I might need a pin If that happens they are gonna have to remove it, or my ass is out to dry as far as re-enlisting.  It's two fairly clean fractures.  the shoulder isnt bad, not even a full fracture just a partial hairline.  Doc said absolutely no two wheels for atleast 2.5 months, maybe longer depending on what the ortho doc says.  I'm thinking this will be a great time to strip the ol gs down and rebuild everything.........hmmmm.......wonder if ducatiboy still has that engine?  my right arm is ok despite the shoulder, doc said just no heavy objects   I went back to the ER this AM for them to just make sure I was alright.  I got a massive shot of demerol and I still have a couple demerol pills.  gotta get up soon and go to walgreens to get my loritab prescrip..........damn I'm sore......I gotta find my old flexeril's   I can go get my bike tuesday god I hope she's alright.  didnt flip or anything just skidded until the engine case got a hole in it.

Man that sucks at least it wasn't worse, A guy at work recently got merged on by a car, went for a short slide that was ended by another car running him over.  Heal well and everyone watch for asshats that pull out in front of bikers, its already happened to me about a dozzen times this year......

[SmartDrug]

Learning and staying diligent about lane placement, guarding your lane, staying visible, etc. really cut down on the number of times I've been cut off this season.  There are books about this, worth picking up.

[roosterbike]

i ll be praying for you, seeing as i am an internet ordaned minister. When you get you hand healed up, go to a good guitar store and pick up a Riffgrip. Itll help you bulid you hands back up, its really made a difference in my guitar playing and in my hands strength.
good luck to you.

[spc]

yeah, the soonest it will be out of a cast is 2 monnths and my doc said that without surgery/pin it'll probably be more like 3-4
Woohoo, total hospital bills so far: 9.5k
I want my bike back bad I miss her

[The Buddha]

"F^&K" it is ... damn ... your thumb will be back to normal right That would be good news. Even old people like me will heal up, young kids especially fit ones like you should be good.
But I guess you really recover by buying something cool with the ins money ... 
Cool.
