Hehe, well... I survived

Thanks... and i'd love a dirtbike, i can see how you'd miss it ;)

here's a few more shots... i thought they were a riot

the girlfriend of one of the many guys i went with took these wonderfull shots of me to preserve the memory for eternity

"OH MY GOD HE CRASHED!!!.... ok, he's not dead..." *click..... *click........ *click

in this one you can see the tracks i made through the mud... and damn, i slid a long ways. you can't even see where they meet up w/ the track. i think it was closer to 500 feet than 2-300

ooooohhhh .......road rash....ouch! glad you are ok......

haha, more like mud rash... luckilly i saved it from highsiding & went off course before i layed it down. even after getting laid down at about 70mph, there was very little damage to the bike other than the broken handlebar (weakend from a previous "unscheduled dismount"... got a pair of spankin new race bars downstairs ready to go on asap :D). the plastics and the exhaust got skuffed up, but not very badly. most of it can probably get polished out. the mud made a huge difference, thank goodness for those over-night t-storms we had the night before.

and like i said, the only damage to me was a seriously bruised up ankle... limped around for a few days & it's still sore to the touch, but i'm healin up nicely. thank god for my boots & full leathers... worth every one of those 150 thousand pennies - cheap health insurance for someone who has no coverage whatsoever :hmm:

yo dude get friggin' health insurance! my last little stint cost bc/bs 450,000.00 to keep me kickin'. plus my car insurance....hehe, bet theywish i wore my seatbelt. me too.

mudd burn.......better than road rash anyday. thankgod for boots......

i had a yamaha warrior long ago, was rippin' down the street toturn off into the woods to go swimmin'up the mountian i am like in 5th,wide open, i go to turn off and here someone blocked the road with a pile of cinderblocks, man i did the biggest powerslide ever, when i came to a stop, the quad tipped over i jumped off, all i was wearin' was a tank top shorts and sandles. not a scratch.....thankfully
good thing you were geared up....try to keep the rubber side down...hehe

oh man... that sucks.... and yes... definitely a good thing i was geared up, even though i didn't hit any solid objects other than my bike & the mud. I always wear gear, no matter how hot it is. The minimum i usually wear are my gloves, jacket, helmet & over-the-ankle boots.... alot of people ask me if i'm a bad rider or something... I have a plethora of replies in my repetoir to dish out to comments like that :D (like "I'd rather sweat for 20 minutes than ooze puss for 12 months" "dress for the crash, but don't" etc etc ;) )

at the time of that crash i was wearing my full two-piece race suit (jacket & pants, both containing some serious body armor), full face Shoei helmet, race gloves, race boots (saved my ankle from being broken in two... or four) & full length back protector. a good 1400 bucks in leather, foam, plastics, carbon fiber, carbon/kevlar & other man-made materials. :rolleyes:
