Squidley Posted October 7, 2012 #28 Posted October 7, 2012 well, first things first, I owe the forum $10..... Now the story, When I got off work on thursday, The front tire felt a little wobbly in the corners. Since I wos off Friday I jacked it in the air and couldn't find anything. Took it down the road for a check out and came up on a huge MVA. As I was passing the scene, I saw a body laying 50-60 feet from the accident site. I guess It suprized me and the SUV driver in front because she stopped in the middle of the road and I plowed in to her at about 20-25 mph. Went over the top on on my face. Thank Goodness for a quality helmet. they repaired the hole in the cornea with a lazer, cast the broken hand and operated on the broken cheek bone. Now one of my biggest problems is trying to post with one hand. THANKS EVERYONE for the prayers and good wishes. Now I just need to figure out where they towed the bike and how much SAFETY Chrome got ruined...P.S to Buddyrich, the zumo held up like a trooper. A big thanks to Lonestar Medic for being the best leadman out there Brian, Glad your on the forum telling us about it. It definitely sucks that it happened, but your here and sounds like quite reasonably on the mend. All the best in your recovery and let us know if there is anything we can help you with.
Phoneman1981 Posted October 7, 2012 #29 Posted October 7, 2012 Glad to hear he will be okay. Prayers sent for a full and quick recovery.

reddevilmedic Posted October 7, 2012 #31 Posted October 7, 2012 glad to hear you made it DOC! speedy recovery!
Sliver Posted October 7, 2012 #33 Posted October 7, 2012 Glad to hear you're on the recovery road. I am starting to think motorcycles are dangerous with all these mishaps. I feel your pain. I went down in a pothole layden corner on June 9th. 8 broken ribs, punctured lung, knocked out my 2 front teeth, broken clavicle, concussion, and a $28,000 helicopter ride to the hospital (yes that is twenty eight thousand) and the worst part was my 2005 RSTD was totaled (of course my first question upon regaining consciousness to my wife was "how's the bike" to her disapproval) Spent a week in the hospital and after getting home had a deposit down on a 2011 Venture a week later. (Again to the wife's disapproval.) She said the hit to the head didnt knock any sense in me.)I did learn the value of good riding gear as the helmet, jacket and gloves took most of the road rash for me and I did switch from a shorty to a full face. Wishing you a speedy recovery and a new bike. It can happen to any of us at any time. I also agree the older we get the less we bounce.
lonestarmedic Posted October 7, 2012 Author #34 Posted October 7, 2012 Glad to see the post. Will stop by and check up on you after while. Have to find out where the old girl landed and see what we can do. Type slow and relax. Oh, and good luck with that butt wiping task:) JB

That just goes to show you, Full Face helmets cause accidents Glad you are here to talk about it.
Sliver Posted October 7, 2012 #36 Posted October 7, 2012 That just goes to show you, Full Face helmets cause accidents Actually I was wearing a shorty. I replaced it with a full face after $1900 worth of dental work

Aussie Annie Posted October 8, 2012 #42 Posted October 8, 2012 Brian... All the best for a speedy recovery
eusa1 Posted October 8, 2012 #43 Posted October 8, 2012 Recover quickly pal , and call the tow company and pay their tow and storage bill and have them bring it to your house rite away! The insurance company knows they have to pay you storage the same as them and will be quicker to agree will you so they can remove it from you. It also gives you a few days to look over and retrieve personal and chrome items without being rushed . Ask me how i know?
sarges46 Posted October 8, 2012 #45 Posted October 8, 2012 Wow, we are sure glad that you are getting along so well! That sounds like one nasty crash!
