Lesson is wear a helmt with anything..especially a dirtbike. 20mph flying headfirst into a curb...a helmet coulda avoided all of this. felt like a brick was slammed into my head.

Well I could have told you that. :p Of course wear a helmet if operating an open motor vehicle. By open, I mean a vehicle with no doors and such, like a dirtbike. ;)
Just be glad because I think you got off easy. The human skull is only 1/4 of an inch thick, and hitting your head on a curb going 20mph could have easily popped it open.
I saw my buddies stepdad lose his 2 front teeth riding a motorized trike (3 wheeler thingy). He hit a bump, went flying upward, and hit his mouth on the handlebars. He was drunk though, so what do you expect. :p
I'm sure as hell glad thats the only thing that happened. 5 stiches and some
neosporin and im good to go. The first thing I checked were if all my teeth were still there :o
Did you get a concussion at all? If not, lucky bastard! :p
Yeah, I did. First time too. I'd close my eyes and it'd be flashing white and black nonstop...it was such a bitch.
wow its a good thing you're ok.
Thanks man :)Quote:

me too...i went through a fence on a snowmobile back in '97 ...had i not been wearing a helmet the fence would have most likely decapitated me. i always wear a helmet, its saved my life before.
Being 17, I don't wanna listen to my parents ;) Of course I will now..all it took was me "learning the hard way"
