New mod compliments of Mrs. Deer
It's actually been almost a week since the newest mod was started on my bike but I haven't been able to write about it.
Last Tuesday night 9:15PM I was on my way to work, had the cruise set at 73mph, rural highway. I see a car pulling up, to the hwy, from a side road. So I watch him to make sure he doesn't pull out in front of me when all of a sudden an explosion. The witness said the bike flipped end over end twice, all I knew was my head was forced down around the left grip and I couldn't push myself up. The next thing I new I was on top of the bike spinning till the bike dug into the asphalt then I was thrown, landed on my left side and it felt like I was in a washer on high speed spin. When I finally stopped rolling, luckily I never lost consciousness, I realized I was on the dotted line in the dark. Gotta move before I get ran over. Stumbled to the side of the road and collapsed there.
I was lucky, had a bruised shoulder where I landed on it, 5 broke ribs and some major road rash on my hands, knees and outer calves.
I normally don't wear a jacket on my way to work but something told me to get it out of the saddlebag. Good thing I did or I would've lost my arm or life. Also, the leather of my safety toe work boots are chewed up like they were on a bench grinder.
I wear a Bell Pit Boss helmet and since it doesn't have a face shield and my face is intact with no new marks tells me that I had an Angel riding with me that night.
Funny the things you think of in the middle of a crash.
What the hell did I hit?
Why can't I sit up?
How long am I gonna roll?
Crap my finger tips hurt.
