That's the next step for me to play with on the bike...

Damn. We took the pocketbikes, dirt bikes, pitbikes and supermoto bikes out this weekend. Damn near everybody crashed (myself included).

Dirtbike gear doesn't fare well against asphalt. I got terrible road rash - possible surgery Wed to get the rest of the debris out. Also a broken finger, and possibly a fractured elbow. Awesome times. Not.

Holy shit.

Confirmed: broken right pinky, fractured left elbow, puncture wound and heavy road rash to left forearm. Light road rash left shoulder and rib cage (very light abrasion from the gear). Light rash to right forearm (again from the gear). Both palms heavy rash (lots of missing skin from where the gloves look like they melted).
Thankfully no damage to the noggin, but my helmet got some pretty good scrapes.

WTF happened?

defector · 06-01-2010, 10:32 AM

Put simply, I crashed wearing improper gear.
I have separate gear for all the riding I normally do. I have a 2 peice suit for the street, a 1 piece for the track, a 1 piece for the pocketbikes/supermoto, and dirtbike gear.
Since my son had friends over, we started handing my gear out to them to use. When it came to me all that was left was the dirtbike gear. When I went down, it didn't hold up well for the speed I was going on asphalt. (It is kinda old).
Stupid decision on my part, and I am paying for it now. Lesson learned.
ER's suck (no offense to any Dr's they did a great job), morphine sucks, Vicodin sucks, and damn near crying every time I shower sucks.

So here we are 1 week later...
Full movement back in the left elbow, I can actually make a fist with my right hand. No painkillers since Wednesday, and showers aren't excruciatingly painful anymore (but they still sting).
