popped my cherry & then some..........

Before i say anything else, i wanna thank u all for your show support.Imeans alot.Like it was stated before it was a blast.Couldn't ask for a nicer Day.After we met up,we rode to meet with another group.Where 1 of guys slipped and broke a clip-on ,i believe tullock the bike back for him. Anyway,after that we were able to hit up some twisties on 9w.And thats where the "drama" started.After waiting all day. :D We started hitting some twisties at decent speeds 80-90mph and one or two at triple digits.But as i approach this one particular turn it kept sweeping more then i anticipated ( no excuses just not familiar with it).I must have been in the 100-110 range when i noticed entering the turn that i was too Hot(unda-statement) and my line was off.So as the bike is drifting towards the guard-rail(mine you with a "NOT" so purty fall).My first reaction is to look through the turn but being that i'm coming too fast,My survival instincts are hit the brakes.Cause at this point i'm about 4-5 feet away from the rail and approaching closer every milli-second.Once the front brakes bite down i went over the bike slammed into ther guardail with my "traps"(between my head and shoulders) AND broke my collarbone and right thumb. :eek: Believe it or not, no road rash not a scrap.I think that slowing down the bike as much as i did saved alot more pain.Cause from the looks of the gear their was not much damage but a 6 inch tear on the sleeve,gloves are still in one piece,jeans did not tear at all.WEIRD SHIT.Ithink ppl that were there, could atest to that.Will post pic of the gear when i get around to it.As for the bike i cant same much cause i was not able too get a good look at it cause i was pre-occupy :thefinger .The ppl. their could tell u more. Overall, it was a great ride.Imust say again that all those that were their showed mad-love, which i really appreciate.And whether you ride slow and steady or fast and heavy.............Always ride with gear................ONE

How the hell did you get seen so fast at the Cornwall hospital? I live 10 minutes away and I have made many trips there. And it never fails, I am in there for over 3 hours. No matter how many people are there. :headscrat If you didn't know, you bent the guard rail with that impact. Looking at the bike, your injuries were minor. The front end is destroyed. Front rim is crazy bent, front tire is ripped to shreads. I am sure the forks are toast. We couldn't move it, we had to pick it up and carry it off of the road. I will say again, thank GOD you were able to get up and walk away from that. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Yes snake mountain 9w is tricky, even though it is 2 lanes some of the turns are very tight and blind. You never know what is waiting around the corner for ya, that makes it fun and dangerous. I live 3 minutes away and ride it all the time. I know where your bike is, Mickey Biggs on route 32. I will stop in on friday and check it out. I hope you heal soon!!! :thumbup:

I guess my luck contiued at the hospital cause i was seen pretty much immediatly.I'm try my best to get someone from around my way too give me a hand and get the bike wed.or thurs.I tried calling them today(tow comp.) but they were close.Justr wanna get an idea on the towing charges and storage fee's.Yeah, i did hear the front took an ASS WHIPPING. FORKS FRONT RIM RADIATOR And all the nic-nacks..

My wife was at the hospital longer for my son's ankle, than you were for the crash. crazy, freakin hospitals, $60bucks for a tylenol. it's all fixed!! so they win all the time. Glad to hear everything is good. if need be, give me a hollar! Got my buddy's busa on the truck now, dropping it for him at the shop! Soon as you get it, ebay and for sale area on here. I am telling you, won't take much. My wife's bike was totalled! i will post some pics later. Yours aint totalled, at least not by looking at it Sunday. Biggest things i saw were the front tire and rim and the radiator, maybe forks, couldn't tell if they were bent, but probably with the ding in the gaurdrail! pics coming. ct

So you collar bone and thumb are broken!? Did they find it at the hospital on Sunday, because I thought you were in and out of there too fast. Plus you didn't mention it when we met you there. Did you go to the hospital again near you?

werd you didnt mention a broken collar bone and thumb. I thought it was just bruised and banged up. Get well soon man...

broken collar bone and thumb? I am sorry man... I was told you walk away with bruise get well soon :thumbup:

Sorry to hear..get well soon. ;)

Yea, that was pretty scary when i was coming around the turn...all i saw was you standing up waving your arms and the bike on the ground with cars stopped in front of you. That was the last thing i was expecting to see. Luckily it wasn't any worse than what happened especially at the speeds we were hitting.

Sorry Andy, I guess I got everybody started when I flew up that first hill doing over 100. I slow up and BAM..........a bunch of bikes are flying past me!! :lol: Oh well they got the jump on me now, I will just cruise the rest of the way. I was hitting that last hill around 90 a few seconds behind Mike (Shoein) and I see 2 cars stopped and a bike in the middle of the road. OH SHIT, I hope that is not one of our guys. :eek: :wtf: Hey we ALL have been down one time or another, getting up and back on the bike is what it is all about. I am sure you will be back out there soon!!! :thumbup:

JFM, I think you mean Carlos...you seem to have your Sunday morning crashes confused.

Oh shit, you are right, I guess I need more coffee. See what happens when you get old!!! :headscrat My neighbors name is Carlos and he rides, how could I mix that up. :infrandom I have to get him to come out with us too. He will be hanging in the back with Big John, nice and safe!

sorry to hear bro

rest and heal up soon

Sorry to hear you went down...get better soon!

So you collar bone and thumb are broken!? Did they find it at the hospital on Sunday, because I thought you were in and out of there too fast. Plus you didn't mention it when we met you there. Did you go to the hospital again near you? Well i didnt get treated till after you guys left.Iwas only waiting to take Xray's when you guys came around.Its actually a broken clavicle?(spelling), which is at the intersection of your shouylder joint and collarbone.Doctor says its a common injury and theres nothing they could do, but put you in a sling and send you home.oh did i mention with some good pain killers! :bounce Its actually not as bad as it sounds.As soon as i figure how too put these damn large Xray pic i wil post them. :twofinger
