Greeting from the hospital!
 
just a word to the motorcycle people. wear your gear for christ sakes because tonight it certainly saved my ass from some serious pain. i took a low speed slide tonight in some misty rain and really messed myself up. i have a little internal bleeding as i lacerated my spleen and bruised my liver. but i think i'll live to ride another day! im in hackensack under observation with a morphine drip & poor signal. ttyl

i dont know you but i wish you the best. riding gear can save lives. hows the bike if you dont mind me asking

Rich189 08-30-2008 05:43 AM

jims69camaro 08-30-2008 06:08 AM

wow, lacerated liver and spleen. i'm glad you wore your safety gear as you will be around because you did. riding a bike on the street is no joke, and people need to take safety gear seriously.

:stupid: we keep hearing about our friends and their bike accidents. So far I'm glad everyone has lived to tell the tale. get better soon alex.

that blows alex!! but i'm glad your ok

GP99GT 08-30-2008 09:34 AM

have a brewski and that liver will be juuuuust fine

JL8Jeff 08-30-2008 09:43 AM

Glad to hear you're not too bad off. This is why I don't even consider getting a bike. I have a short drive to work and I'm a perfect candidate for a bike, but I watch the way people drive to work in the morning and head home in the evening and no way I'm gonna get mixed in with that craziness. Wet conditions are another thing entirely, but I've just never been a fan of bikes and I always leave plenty of room for riders near me on the road because they are the ones most at risk. Get well soon!

foff667 08-30-2008 10:32 AM

That sux to hear Alex, I hope you get better soon.

Blackbirdws6 08-30-2008 02:51 PM

damn that sucks. Glad it wasn't worse than it could have been. Get well soon.

88Z-Man 08-30-2008 02:58 PM

Everytime I hear about some one wrecking or getting hit on their bike makes me glad I got rid of mine. Glad you were wearing your gear though. A friend of mine whiped out on his Aprillia recently also. Wearing your gear can make all the difference.

Get well soon Alex!

I've saved so much money this summer by riding my bike as much as I can. You are right, people are ignorant and oblivious to bikes. I constantly keep an escape plan and pay attention to what I believe their next move will be. Deer are actually more dangerous to me then idiot people in cars.

I don't believe time of day has anything to do with it over experience of riding on different road conditions.

Lt1_8U 08-30-2008 04:39 PM
