I dropped my Fz1 four weeks ago. The bike did not have too much damage, but my steel toe boots were wore down to the metal. I was wearing a mesh jacket with padding, and gloves. The jacket had no damage. My elbow had a nasty rub-burn, from rubbling the inside of my jacket. People ask me why I wear a jacket when it's 90-100 degrees outside. Now I truly know why. I beg my parents and brother to wear some gear. (Harley riders) I told my mom that no one will want to hug her if she has road rash on her face.

I shattered my left fibula ( and tibia ) just above my ankle crashing into the boards feet first playing hockey 16 years ago. My bones didn't pop through my skin like that but it hurt like hell anyway. Nothing a good orthopedic surgeon couldn't fix up. I have a stainless steel plate and 10 screws in my leg. I took a 4 year sabatical from the game and then went back for 7 more seasons. He'll ride again but I'd say he's out for the rest of the summer at least."Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so.

Funny thing, it wasn't that long ago that I saw a person who had jumped out of a tall building, and that didn't bother me....... but those ring avulsions made me feel queasy.Any and all statements by Loudnlow7484 are merely his own opinions, and not necessarily the opinion of Katriders.com.

HAHAHA. I know what De-gloving is, but don't want to check out the pics.
I always take off my rind when working with tools, but you are right, it can happen any time. I have caught mine on things just walking around the house. I actually flattened it catching a softball one time. Had to pry it open again to get it off.
