Title: OUch!
Post by stinger on 10/06/10 at 20:57:20

My first crash! this evening I was riding with a couple of buddies and we came to a stop sign. My friend took off and slammed on his brakes because of a car he did not see. I ran into the back of him about 10 mph. We both went down and stopped traffic for miles. 45.000 miles on my bike and til today not a scratch. Dented my tank, busted my right hand mirror, turn signals both front and rear, and somehow bent my shifter and my brake petal. Probably some other stuff too. I think I knocked my self out for a bit because I awoke when some people were picking me up off the road. I had to ride it 60 miles to get it home. I had to cut my glove off my left hand because I guess my fingers are busted. Swollen and black. My ankles hurt, my head hurts and might have busted some ribs over my heart because I can hardly breathe and it really hurts. I'm gonna go lay down and pretend it didn't happen

You had better go to Emergency Care especially if you passed out. Don't worry about the costs. The alternative is worse. You had a helmet, right? Get someone to drive you to an Emergency Clinic and tell the Clinic personnel what happened and about passing out and how you feel short of breath!

If it weren't for narcotics such events would be no fun at all.
You might oughta be checked out for the chest pains. Punctured lung s'not good at all. Ask how I know.

Yes get your a$$ to the emergency room. Do not hesitate to get checked over.
And what no cops responded with traffic backed up like that? What about your friend? How did he get home?
Do not pass go and do not collect $200.00 Go straight to the Hospital... Best to get checked out now.. Hugs and well wishes... Kim :)

We bike riders as a group, are divided in two... Those who have crashed, and those who have yet to crash...

Welcome to the darkside...

Speedy healing...

Stinger,I'm thinking your wounds were more severe than you thought.
Haven't seen another posting from you after the first.
Hope everything is ok, if you cant send a message ask a friend to drop us a line and give us an update. Good Luck, Mick

As soon as I could get up and go get my self checked out I did. I took your advice, thanks! I went to the emergency room and they did a EKG because of my chest pain, some blood work, a MRI on my head a injection of morphine and a tetnis shot. plus xrays. my left hand is broke, 2 cracked ribs and severe chest bruising, my knuckle is cracked on my left hand below my index finger. and a couple other things i cant remember because the vicodens are kicking in. oh yeah, 2 broken toes on my right foot. twisted ankle. sorry for the typing, hard to do one handed. once again, thanks for the concern

Stinger, thanks for updating us on your condition. You put a scare into us and for that we get to spank your a$$.. lol..
Let your body heal and don't rush it. Get plenty of rest as that helps the healing process.
I understand typing 1 handed as I did that for awhile myself. Keep joining in on the forum as that is great medicine also.
Hugs and happy to hear your mending. We care about all our riders, those that have fallen, myself included and the ones that haven't..:) kim

Glad to hear your typing. ;)

Since Winter is almost upon us, you'll have time to heal afore the Spring Thaw. Those toes can take a long time to heal properly, so give it to em if you can..take good care of youself.
