Don't have time to read but the X-Ray looked like the ball sheared off the top of the femur??? YIKES! | ||
| Blake |
Best wishes for a quick and total recovery. He sheared off a ball? Every man here who reads that is likely now experiencing severe sympathy ache. | ||

That's bad dude. My recent injury sucked, but your titanium looks much worse. Be patient, it takes a long time to get better, in small increments. Here's my leg:  | ||

Thanks for all the kind words guys. My leg costs about $165,000.00. I just got off the phone with USAA. My Firebolt costs $4,600.00. So what do I do? A.) Quit riding B.)Go low and slow with a Harley or C.)Piss off the family and keep riding the death trap? | ||

Slow down on the death trap? Hope you have a speedy recovery! | ||

A.) Quit riding. . . at least on public roads for a while. Perhaps add an MSF course during the recovery period and hone your road skills. Get well quick . . . looks painful! (Message edited by court on June 08, 2007) | ||

I'm not a member of MySpace so I can't see the pics. That site sucks. I can't read your story either. You should have posted that stuff here instead of linking to MySpace. | ||

Wait, that's not a normal X-ray? :P Damn, that looks like it hurt like a SOB! | ||
| Traction |
So was this accident purely your fault then for speeding in traffic? hope you get well soon! | ||

Ouch looks like one of my X-Rays. My bill was $210,000. Broken bones aren't cheap. I'm on the death machine still. And i'm still loving it. You need to make up your own mind on whether you get back on a bike or NOT. Heal well and keep intouch with your progress. | ||

$165,000...$210,000 - both are weak in comparison to my $1,000,000+ bill!  Wasn't the result of a motorcycle accident or any accident for that matter. | ||

Mine was but that was just out of pocket expense because the woman that hit me only had a $100,000 limit on her insurance and I was lacking Medical insurance at that time. It wasn't no million dollars but It was a bike crash that was not my fault but still had to pay. | ||

I had an 04 Sportster Custom that I traded for my 04 Buell Lightening Long. Needless to say, they handle a little differently and the brakes are WAY different. I was out one evening with 04buell and I gave it too much front brake and I accidently did a stoppie except I forgot to stop and I did a front flip! Thank goodness I had a helmet and leathers on or I would have been hurt pretty bad. There is a hole in the center front of my helmet where it would have been my head and I saved myself a lot of road rash with the leathers. After that incident I had lost my courage and I was kind of leary to ride by myself for a while so I rode behind 04buell on his ULY quite a bit. I wanted to ride myself again so we signed up for the Experienced Riders Course that is an all day session and it helped me tremendously. I learned so much in that session that I would recommend it to everyone. It teaches you the little things that you probably learned at one time, but have forgotten. Mrs. 04buell. | ||

For those who didn't read my blog, I wasn't speeding in traffic. A jaywalker ran out in front of the car ahead of me. I had to react to both of them, and my front wheel locked onto a manhole cover while I was in a almost controlled skid. I ended up flipping over the bars and tumbling with the bike twice. Shit happens I suppose. Ride or Die! -Chris |
