SapperMedic Posted January 23, 2014 #1 Posted January 23, 2014 Ok on Sunday I was going to an earlier meeting at our church, and since it was a beautiful day,decided to ride the bike so that my wife could bring her car later. My son had the same idea. He got his bike out and the battery was dead. Since our driveway is sloped,I said no problem, I will give you a push. So picture me in a suit with my leather jacket and boots pushing him down the driveway. The bike starts immediately and I go face first into the curb across the street. A trip to the ER confirms that I have broken the humerous bone off and messed the face up again. All my coworkers at the hospital tell me to stop riding. I said I wasn't riding I was pushing:sick:
coop Posted January 23, 2014 #2 Posted January 23, 2014 That made me laugh out loud..... sorry your hurt pal. Where exactaly is the humous bone? Bob

Bob See thats why its called the " humerous bone" it made you laugh out loud. I broke that one off right at the socket when a huey I was in went down! Never felt a thing!!!

ragtop69gs Posted January 23, 2014 #6 Posted January 23, 2014 Well, hopefully you didn't mess up your church duds when you took the dive, it's not easy finding a good fitting suit. I hope you mend quickly.

Mike G in SC Posted January 23, 2014 #15 Posted January 23, 2014 Did that (at least) once. I pushed a fat boy on a Fat Boy few years ago. He asked me for a push at the post office, I offered to jump it. Nah,,, it'll start right up. On 3rd push, he goosed it as soon as it started. Bastard didn't hardly even wave back as he left while I was on all 4. Had to scope the knee later that year. Heal up,, that one hurt.
Marcarl Posted January 23, 2014 #16 Posted January 23, 2014 Heal fast, it ain't no fun laying around waiting.

Venturous Randy Posted January 23, 2014 #19 Posted January 23, 2014 That's a bummer. It is bad when you are hurting and pissed off at yourself at the same time. Best wishes and this too shall pass. RandyA
Prairiehammer Posted January 23, 2014 #20 Posted January 23, 2014 Sorry for your demise. Debbie always laughs at my demises as well. The best protection while performing a "face plant" is a full face helmet. ATGATT.
