Rider down 10/1/07 .... ME ...

most of you already know, I went down hard on the 1st. ended up with alot of road rash, two broken bones in my leg. Final result = a titanium rod and 4 screws, plus me being out of work for 4 months. Not too smart on my part. But at least the bike was ok !!

*** WARNING ****FIRST PICTURE IS NSFW AND GRAPHIC!!!

Coulda been worse. Get well soon.

Does the titanium rod make you lighter? :stuck_out_tongue:

yummmmmmmy! make the title NSFW for the first pic, some might not take kindly to it

Fixed

You think thats graphic? Try being there in person. Jason was holding up like a champ making jokes with the trooper and worriying about his shoes lol

don’t let me bleed on my new shoes.

but dude, they cut my favorite shoes.

I was just trying to take my mind off the fact that my leg was in two pieces and held together by skin.

p.s. the best was when i told the state trooper couldnt touch me to help take my gloves off because he didnt have any protective gloves on. That made me chuckle in the ER

LOL thats good.

i dont think its graphic, but some may think it is.

leave it to jay to make jokes! lol. good to see that the arm is starting to heal! AG FTW!

AG Fo Life

Within three weeks the guy is healing real well, and the bike will be as good as new next season, w00t.

bike will be 10x better than new

update, arm and all road rash related wounds 100 percent healed. all stitches/staples are out, and I just tore off the last of the steri strips. here are two comparisons to the wound on my leg…

NOT WORK SAFE

Here’s a good pic to start out with… It’s from October 9th, about two days out of the hospital (notice my leg is still yellow from the iodine they used in the operating room)

Here are two pics from the 29th, notice how much smaller the wound is. the scars on the top and bottom are from where my surgeon went in and opened the wound up more to give him better access to the bones and tissues affected.


staples FTL


lol you have a vagina on your leg

thats pretty ghey for another guy to notice :slight_smile:

ugg… i was eating… i guess im done now…

get better tho

looks much better!!! thats a LOT of staples!

thats gonna leave such a badass scar

you beat me to it.

scars make for good stories.

Im already thinking of good stories including such factors as wild bears, burning buildings and babies, saving old ladies from gangs, and vietnam
