I crashed the shit out of my motorcycle a couple days ago. I was being stupid and passing where I shouldn't have been. Oncoming traffic came from round the curve I thought I could see around. It shoved me back into my own lane too quick. I veered to the right and couldn't get back to the center of my lane fast enough. I brushed the curb at about 70 MPH. I don't know exactly what my bike did once I hit he curb. I (my body) slid about 30 feet from the impact point on my left side, up against the curb. Thanks to a full face helmet, I still have a face. I can distinctly remember seeing the curb scraping the face shield as I slid down the road.

I was lucky nothing was broken. I was able to get right up and started dragging my bike out of the road. the shock wore off a couple minutes later and I sat down on the curb. Looking at my bike, you'd wonder how the hell I survived in the first place, much less was able to get right up and drag a motorcycle out of the road. The frame was broke in two and the rest of the parts were spread all over the road. I didn't realize exacly how bad I was hurt til I got to the hospital. Like I said, I didn't break anything but my entire left arm from fingers to shoulder was scraped up (road rash) really bad. It felt like my skin was on fire all night last night.

I went back to the hospital yesterday to get antibiotics and pain killers. I'm still hurtin' pretty bad right at this moment. Still feels like my skin's on fire, even after taking some good pain pills. I would have been fine (maybe a couple light bruises) if I was wearing full body gear. Motorcycles aren't really as dangerous as they're made out to be. All I did was fall from my seat height and slide down the road. Long as you don't hit anything solid, you should be fine, if you're wearing your gear. So my moral is motorcycles are the most fun I've ever had in my life. Wish more people rode them. But ride safe. And I can't wait to get a new one. I'll post some pics of me and the bike when I get some.
