    I see it all the time, guys in shorts and tank top, no helmet but the girlfriend has one. I dread ever hearing about these guys going down its a life ruining experience. I almost killed a friend years ago in a dirt bike accident, hard lesson learned. On the street I always wear a fieldsheer mesh joe cool jacket, anykind of boots but I have a pair of teknic, and of course gloves and a KBC helmet. Love to play just would hate to grind down any of my body parts. Had all my knuckles down to the bone in that ol dirtbike accident...hurts to much... Just be careful, never be in a rush and never get po'd before heading out on the bike...

          my right arm i can not exstend all the way out and it's killer to try and ride with i tried to ride the other day i couldn't make it 20 miles and i still need to go 200 to get home...



          im trying to let it heal up as much as i possibly can before taking the 200 mile trip..

          showers don't hurt anymore.. sleeping is still hell.. i haven't had a good full nights sleep in a week man

          oh well

          oh btw when i went for the 20mile ride i saw myself wearing the leather.. the riding pants (with suspenders thanks marc) gloves helmet and boots HAHAHAHA

            Be glad you weren't here. I would have taken hydrogen peroxide and a nylon brush to you to clean out any road debris (talk about serious pain), and then dressed the wounds with an iodine-padded gauze system the Germans use (heals fast, no infections). The combination leaves minimal scarring and risk of infection... having road debris heal under the skin is a nightmare.

            I hope you're at least using neosporin...
            Heal up man...

              But chicks dig scars , right ? I've grown kind of fond of my "road tatoo" . I can freak people out with it sometimes .
              Now suck it up and cover the scabs with something and ride home , baby . WALK IT OFF !

                Well, at first, I was gonna say that you had learned from your mistake, and thought to myself, now, don't flame the kid...

                then I read that this is your THIRD BIG CRASH THIS YEAR??????

                So, my question to you, my friend, is:

                When ARE you gonna learn from your mistakes?

                  well...

                  when they say 3rd accident this year...

                  i will re-literate...

                  my 20th b-day on feb 20 at about 12:30 AM

                  i looped my bike..





                  had on my leather jacket boots helmet and gloves...

                  the bike..


                  then on 06-04-06

                  i had another wheelie accident..





                  had on leather jacket helmet boots gloves jeans AGAIN.

                  had a streetfighter front end on the bike.. it just came unstrapped..





                  bent the crankshaft..


                  where the flywheel hit the road what bent the crankshaft..




                  those are the 2 big accidents...

                  now..

                  as for being on two wheels this is my first BIG ACCIDENT and thank god not my first and last...

                  this is my second time in 4 years going down on two wheels.. i went down a few months ago when i was going to work on my squared off bald rear tire (i was going to work to put on my new tire too) and on a u-turn at like 2 miles an hour my rear just swung arround and over i went full gear on.. not a scrape to the bike not a scrape to me.. just felt like someone kicked me in the butt for about an hour...

                  mistakes are learned fromt every signle accident i have been in.. granted 2 have been from stunting.. somthing i will not give up.. somthing that made me have 2 bikes...

                  i have my stunt bike what is slowly comming along

                  for those that remmeber it from the gap meet..



                  i have put exactly 7$ into it....

                  since the gap meet..

                  what have i done to it though haha..

                  put in a new engine
                  put on some new rear plastics
                  put on the dirtbike bar mounts
                  put on the 13 tooth front sprocket and the 53 tooth rear sprocket (these costed me 7$ to ship)

                  now i need the handle bars and the chain then reinsure it and license it.. and get a crash cage...

                  then it will be legal and ridable again.. although i have other priorities i need to tend to first...

                  so stevieB not raggin on you at all... but maybe you can see my point for yourself....

                  my point being i have learned from each accident.. more or less the most recent as for i will say when the stuntbike is up an running on closed road or dragstrip i will stunt again.. but i do not stunt on the FZR i don't even try to stunt it...

                  and for you MARC...

                  GRRRRRRRRRR

                  surprised you wouldn't use a wirebrush i mean come on..

                      Okay. I will agree that stunting is something like racing- you know and accept the risks, and if you are smart, mitigate them as best you can, so that you will be okay if you crash. So, okay, I can see your crashes as being sorta okay. And you seemed to be okay, given that you had on boots, helmet, jacket, looks like they did an okay job of protection.

                      I am sure it is not okay that your streetfighter setup came unstraped. Not even sure what you mean by "unstrapped,' but, okay, it came off. And we all know it is not okay to ride around on baldies, but I must admit I am doing it right now, well not as I type, but these days, okay? I think I will get that addressed as soon as I possibly can, so my bike will be okay to ride again.

                      Oh, and I don't usually write or talk like this, okay? Just got a wild hair and decided to see how many times I could work the work "okay" into one post...

                      Okay?

                              Jebegus, Woody! I expect a bit of road rash, but I didn't expect those metal barbs stuck in your chest too!
