This just sucks! After spending the last week waiting and installing farkle after farkle, I decided to go for a ride friday nite to fill the rear tire w/ some air before going to visit my dad on the south side. Not even 3 freakin blocks from my house I crashed while hanging a left, the bike hit some trannie fluid from a crash earlier that day and went down sliding to a stop on the sidewalk.
. Hard enough to break my ankle :angry: .
The only good that came of it was several people ran over to me and asked if I needed help. One guy even helped me get the bike up, while 2 cars st :angry: opped and asked if I wanted them to call anybody(911). I told them thanks for asking, but no I'm fine. After checking the bike for damage I mounted up and rode for awhile thinking I only sprained my ankle in the fall. I felt it twist in a weird way but didn't feel the bones snap and fogured it was hyperextended and I'd get over it. After filling the tire w/ air I felt the swelling start to make the boot a little tighter than it should and figured playtime over. So I went home thinking a little ice water soak would hit the spot, until I tried to park it in my garage. It wouldn't let me back the bike up the little incline we have, so I parked it nose first and went in the house to change.
The more I walked the harder it got to ignore, so I said screw it maybe an Xray is in order. I didn't even waste my time going to hospital down the street, figuring they were on bypass and filled to the rim w/ the local drunks. So I went to a hospital that I transport to most of the time figuring it was around 8 pm and they usaully don't start getting hit w/ drunks until 2330 or so.
Sure enough, there weren't too many cars in the lot or ambulance bay, so I parked the and walked across the lot to see A56 in the lot and the medic Rick came to see if I needed help. The look on his face when he realized it was me was worth the trip alone. Afetr being forced into a wheel chair, we rolled into the ER, and many suprised faces
. 2.5 hrs later I'm discharged w/ a temp cast and 6 weeks of boredom.
The wife wasn't too happy but I gave a slightly altered version that allowed me to avoid the 3rd strike sentencing. The bike isn't too bad either, just the stator cover and left saddlebag got damaged, the wife had installed frame sliders the day before :clapping: . So I guess this season is concluded, hpoefully next year is more riding than physics lessons, I think I've covered all of 'em this year.
One quick question, what color is the paint on the stator/generator cover? I have the time, so I'm gonna sand and airbrush the cover and the bag while I'm waiting for the healing process to conclude, hopefully I'll be riding to work on christmas day :lol: , if I can be so lucky.
