Road Rash

Ain't just a skinned knee like when you were a kid.

It's easier to wipe off sweat than it is to wipe on skin.

 

At least he was wearing a hat! He may survive the road rash but the big
dents in his lid would have been show stoppers for sure!

WOW! Hell of a slide show.

I got money that says the guy on the GSXR was FLYING down that road at
illegal speeds and the car pulled out in front of him because he
either didn't see him or the guy was going so fast it didn't register
to the driver of the car.

At least he had his helmet on. Man, he is fooked. I have a bit of a
strawberry on my knee from my accident and it kills me every time I
scrub it down to get the skin off. I couldn't imagine having road
rash like that.

Common misconception - you are cooler without a jacket and jeans on
than you are with gear on.

Yep. The emergency room scrub down would not be fun. One photo shows a
posted limit of 30 mph. From the looks of that car's rear wheel, he
wasn't there. But real gear could have mitigated a lot of the rash in
spite of what might be happening deeper inside.

 

There is just no way you can say that guy was going around 30mph if
you look at all the damage to the car and the bike. I mean, the front
end of the bike was obliterated.

very true. Part of my conversation with the Clute motor officer
yesterday while waiting for the train to pass by regarded my Marsee
ventilated jacket.

Off: "Aren't you hot in that?"
Me: "Nope, it's armored and ventilated mesh with kevlar"
Off: "I don't have the money for that"
Me: "It's cheaper and less painful than skin grafts"

He grabs his towel off the dash of the Kaw and wipes off his sweat....
that direct sun on exposed skin is hot.

 

You did explain to the "nice officer" .. that entrepreneurs in the porn
website business have lots of money and are real sensitive to the elements..
huh ?

Yeah buddy... Sure is.. Especially for little fat men.. Can't take much of
that "sun" and exposure.. LMAO.. C'mon now.. Trash.. Tell it like it is..
Hmmm... Has the Baylor Research Clinic completed their sessions with you,
yet.?. The conditions of that "parole release".. should be pretty close to
completed, by now..

I just love it when trashy bastards like you try to re-habilitate
themselves..

 

Yup.... you also tend to dehydrate a bit quicker without some
protection on as well.

I have some good strawberries right now....I just couldn't imagine
having a whole leg / back / arm of road rash.

If you'd been riding your motorcycle, you wouldn't be all laid up, now ..
would you ? Hurry up and get over that boo boo.. LOL

Excessive weight gain is very common to people who get off the
medications which are manufactured in bath tubs. I thought however
that admitting it was part of the "treatment" for NA junkies?

Parole must be tough for little fat people like Johnny Moron (aka
another day). Just having a record pop up from everywhere and being
part of public information would be the worst part...I would imagine.

 

Yep.. even when we're grown men.. Some a lot more than others..

 

This is true, but the strawberries are the least of my problems.
Probably going to be at least four weeks before I am back on the
bike....maybe longer. We'll have to see what the doc says.

Nah ... that's bullshit.. Forget that damn doc.. If you will go to
Guadalajara, I will introduce you to my own personal physician.. He'll have
you back on your feet within a week.. Ask Brian about it sometime..

Well I don't need a physician. I am listening to an orthopedic
surgeon and whoever my therapist ends up being. Until they tell me I
can get my leg back in a riding position and support some weight on it
I won't be on the bike. ;-)

And that's just the left leg....

AAAHHH Me.. How in the world do you ever expect to grow up and be like
me, if you won't listen to me.. ?? Since he's not here and you can't ask
him.. I'll tell you what happened..

Against my advice, Brian was fellowshiping with one of my rowdy nephews in
Guadalajara.. Oscar was about sixteen years old at the time.. Pure "outlaw"
from the time he was in diapers.. Anyway.. him and Brian got caught in a
hellacious rainstorm, about two blocks from our house.. The streets
immediately flooded and Oscar made a break for it.. When they were running
at breakneck speed down the street, Oscar dodged the manhole and Brian ran
through it.. The manhole was under water and not visible..

Brian ankle looked worse than any injury I have seen like that.. His
vacation in Mexico was finished and he was in extreme pain..

My good friend, a fine doctor and surgeon in Guadalajara, examined him and
took some x-rays.. After determining that nothing was broken.. he commenced
treating that ankle and Brian was out and about on it, the next day.. Three
excellent doctors came to the house.. two fine nurses were involved and I
must say, the treatment was extreme and painful.. Next time we are together,
I can go into more detail and describe all this much better, in
person..LOL..

Meantime.. eat your little ol' heart out.. We are heading out tomorrow (on
our bikes) to visit those good people again.. While you sit around and moan,
with only my good friend "Bling" to console and comfort you, think about
Brian and me .. Breezing along.. carefree and having a ball.. Drinking
excellent tequila and eating some of the most delicious food that you ever
tasted.. Being entertained by the most gracious hosts (and hostesses) on
this side of heaven..

Think about that, while your ol' knee throbs painfully.. Your ol' Eyetalian
motorcycles is idle.. Your cabin fever makes you crazy.. And .. you will
always regret the lack of wisdom that has prevented you from "growing up and
being exactly like Bill Walker.. who you most respect and admire".. See
there..... Get back on your feet, buddy.. I look forward to seeing you out
and about, when we get back..

Sheeeeeaaat! I'm studying this week to prepare for an exam to get
another certification. It should be interesting with the drugs I am
taking. ;-)

I hope you guys have a great time, and yes I'll think about you
roasting in the heat of summer while going down the highway whilest I
kick back in my EZ chair with the AC on, the fan going and nice cool
drink of water right here beside me.

At least maybe it will be cool next time I am able to get back on the
'ol 'Priller.

Y'all ride safe!!!

Stick with it.. It will be alright.. good luck.

The tall mountains are cool and the air is fresh and sweet.. The countryside
looks like a picture post card and the people are warm, hospitable and
friendly.. Most places will have a cold cerveza (or two, or three)..

Thanks .. pard.. we'll do our best.. dodging "federales" and such.. LOL..
Little as you think about it, we will be thinking about you.." Wish you were
here, and all that.."
Take good care of yourself and get back on your feet.. You and I have a lot
of work to do when we get squared around again..
