Im guessing your burying your ego and publishing this since a fellow R1 forum member seem it and would post about it if you didn't....sorry to hear it....
yeah, something like that :yesnod

just rashed up my knee a bit cuz i wasn't wearing my riding pants. but otherwise i'da had a broken shoulder, collarbone, cracked head, and probably a couple of broken knuckles. now i gotta find a new tail section cuz that's the only plastic that actually got cracked. luckily the guardrail took most of the damage.

i'm still kinda upset about this though...:(

hell yeah you know you need to come out here and pamper me. if you really got kisses for my boo boos i could probably convince myself that i'm hurt in other areas too ;)

oh stop, i know you love it :lol

but yeah...my jacket is scuffed to shit on the left shoulder and i bounced my helmet off the curb. and the knuckles on my new timax gloves (left) is scraped to shit. but hey, it coulda been worse, huh?

and then some dumb bitch that works with my wife decided she should play nurse. i got my pant leg up and i'm getting ready to put some neosporin on it and she decided it would be a good idea to pour alcohol on my knee and all down my leg. i swear to god i almost killed her :mad:

there is a silver lining to this cloud though. wifey and me were balancing the checkbook and it turns out that she ****ed up and there was an extra $800 in the checking account. so that helps a little.

nice to hear your ok and gear really proved itself instead of ripping all apart.

my friend had one of those cheaper jackets, not the leather $300-400 types like mine, but the $100 types that look like wind breakers almost.

when he crashed with that thing, it ripped apart and flew all over the street as if it was like a parachute or something!!!!! really bad protection. it was as if he didnt have gear on at all, cuz upon impact it just BLEW up and OFF of him in a second. as if it was designed to protect ITSELF more then the user or something.

gears worth the good dollars.

Hey alcohol does not burn that much!..

Glad my grandman wasen't there to put a little bit of salt on
those wounds...! (i'm italian.. figure it out!)

Now that hurts like a ...#$&%(#!

Well at least you where wearing your gear.. not like some dumb pieces of crap who think riding in shorts and a wife beater is cool... good luck with removing that skin out of your ass to cover those bleeding arms! :lol :lol

Well at least you have an excuse to get BRAND NEW GEAR! :bash

Ohh and don't get that gear that sounds like a bomb.. (mentioned above).. what the hell is that.. blow on impact gear?... get some ALPINESTARS gear.. real good gear.. worth the $$$$$ (bling bling)!
