    Default My ouch

    I managed to get myself into this two weeks ago (on my anniversary, no less). Been working on a customers RG500 that's been sitting up forever. I finally got the carbs back together and got it fired, and took a too hasty test ride. We have a little "test" road that runs alongside of the shop that we have all gotten into the bad habit of doing short little test runs with no gear Well, something wasn't right in the front brakes and it bit me. Broken collar bone, shoulder, 4 ribs, a collapsed lung, 120 staples in my head and some nasty rash. Wear your gear on even the shortest rides!!!!!!

    My big nasty blood spot where I stopped




    off to the helicopter




    my busted melon

    Dude.. seriously glad you're "somewhat" ok! that looks nasty and I know how easy it is to skip putting on a bunch of gear to take a bike our for a "short" test run after wrenching but the fact is those "test runs" are probably even more imporant to wear gear on for this exact reason

    thanks for posting and heal up quick man!

    Holy shit, dude! Glad to hear you're even still with us, that's horrible! Who had the mind to start snapping pics?

    Did your insurance cover the chopper ride?
