Crashed once after 4 days of riding a street bike. I was following too close and the truck/traffic in front had to lock it down...so did I and went down.
Road rash due to wearing a t-shirt and cosmetic damage to the bike.

Crashed once going too hot in a curve at dusk...hit some gravel...straightend up and went of the road into a ditch. Minor cosmetic damage and I was fine.

Got hit by a car while riding a cruiser...BAM...compound fracture of the femur...heel crushed...ankle crushed with foot turned around backwards and blowing in the wind...yep this one hurt a little. Bike was totalled.

First two doctors said to amputate at he knee because they didn't think they could save my foot. Third doctor said he thought he may be able to save it but not at that hospital so they loaded me up and took me to a 2nd hospital and I ended up going through 4 surgeries and had 2 skin graphs. Fun stuff right there !!

I remember while lying on the side of the road making a phone call to a friend to get up there and he said "well you can't be hurt that bad...you're talking to me and you're so calm".

When he arrived on the scene and so me he about freaked !!

I still have my foot and leg thankyou very much.
