I crashed
09/18/15 at 15:49:21

I crashed and hit my head so hard I don't remember a single thing about the actual accident. I was riding 60mph up a nice country road and the next thing I know BAM!..I awoke in the hospital, my bro stairing at me, doc is asking if I can feel my toes.

So later the cop would tell me that I somehow just "lost control" of the bike and drove off into the dry grass and volcanic rock laden center divider. I must have bashed one of those rocks looking at my muffler and fractured tibia/fibula...out of the skin.
Anyway, there is a full description by picture on my Instagram, search tjflora or Tim flora.
So the cost of repair outweighed geico's precieved value of the bike so I got the repair money plus the bike back. Imma sell the bike...either as one piece or as parts. Let me know if your interested. The bike still starts right up. Brand new battery...just got it a day b4 the accident. She's got a Very adjuster with my initials on it that I'm not at all happy to let go of. The front of the bike is fine.

Thanx guys. I'm doing pretty good. The leg is a pain to crutch around but it's the fracture in the base of my skull at my spinal cord that's the concern..but I shud be fine. Honestly, I can't get back on a bike right now. I don't even know how I went down. I sure as hell didn't just loose control for no reason. I don't know. I'm really lucky to be alive lol. Really lucky.

The results of the crash make a helluva good argument for a full helmet, don't they? Cheers and speedy healing!

If those were lava rocks and the muffler isn't cut up, maybe it landed on your head.
If you don't remember ANYthing about the accident, I would have to talk to the doctor about that. Did you just turn off? Have a seizure?
I had a medication mess me up, I had a seizure, but I remember the seconds just prior. You should visit with a neurologist.
What are they saying about how much you're gonna heal up?
Getting another bike?
I forgot how old you are.. I hope you are young enough to heal up and tough enough to buck through the recovery.
I'm sorry about the crash, but the Zero memory of the seconds leading up to it really concerns me..
