I got smacked by a bug once, on my hand.
It hurt, and I peed my pants.
Luckily it was in the middle of December, so it wasn't such a bad thing.

Probably the worst accident ever, it only damaged my ego.

guess im not alone(left turner, screw in wrist, broken collarbone). Do any of you guys notice, that when recounting the accident to other m/c riders who have not yet been injured, they kind want to change the subject? Or they get uncomfortable? It can always be worse. Met a guy who lost his leg at the hip by a hit and run, while on his bmw, they never caught the guy. But im enjoy riding too much (i like to fly too) to sit in a rocking chair and die safely.

1 v8, you may handle the car when u r tired but what about what ever u run into? I find it easier to fall asleep in a car than on a bike.

Aikman only busted his head about a dozen times.
But he's not sure how many…

I don't have pictures it was too long ago, 1967.. Smashed left foot (MC vs car), my fault..Was amputated about two weeks after the accident because of gangrene.
Between my knee and the rest of my leg I probably has 250 stitches, this was before staples.. My Dad used to take the stitches out for me...

You learned a new way to shift…

Here is my thumb 4 weeks after getting it caught between the chain and rear sprocket while the bike was running. Stopped the bleeding myself but went to the ER because it had clipped the bone off.
It was odd being awake as they ground the bone back so they could stitch it up. and the nurse looked at me like I had three heads when I turned town the painkillers right after the surgery
I hate knowing that I knew better. This was a $14k lesson I didn't need to learn.

I removed the last stitch myself today 29 days after surgery and have put 80 miles on my bike since 3 days ago.

Lynn has a heel-toe shifter. She can ride!


Thank you for your indulgence,

No pictures handy and I can't come close with X-rays. You guys with added hardware have me beat in that department.

2 years ago 8-18-09 a lady ran a stop sign and I t-boned her. I was driving a dune buggy (VW based kit car). Seat belt saved my life but also caused a bunch of damage. 5 hours of surgery the first time and 4 hours the second I came out of the ER MISSING pieces but no broken bones. I now have a much shorter colon and sm intestine as well as have had the experience of having a colostomy bag. 59 staples in the gut the first time, and 63 the second time all within 2 weeks. Was one heck of a diet program lost most 50# in 2 weeks. 37 days in hospital due to infections and lack of eating ability.

All is good now after 2 years.

That was a bad day. I'll never forget "the call" from Janks.
I think I still have a piece of the pulser cover we found in the ditch out there.


I really don't have many pics from my various misadventures.

I had the same thing happen this year, except not as severe.

Me and my brother just bought a gs550 project.
As we lifted the rear of the bike up onto the pickup truck, my index finger got caught between the sprocket and chain and basically ALL of the weight of the bike squished my finger.

It was bleeding like a mother....I got so much blood on my brothers new bike and my dads pickup truck....

I was bleeding on and off for 1 week.
