Well, the roads in Louisiana are shitty to say the least and now they have claimed my beautiful R1 and the use of my hands for a while. Typing this is very painful and slow so I will keep it short.
About 45 MPH around a curve, front tire went into a hole and sent me into a telephone pole. I brought up my hands to keep from hitting the pole face first and wound up seriously injuring both of them.
Here is the video in the ER....terminator style...lol

Here is my friend Guy trying to keep me from bleeding to death....I lost about a pint of blood...
Here is right out of the ambulance when u could see the bones in my hand...
Here I am at my step fathers office getting ready for him to reattach the tendon i severed...
First set of injections...
Second set of injections...
Trying to take it like a man...
Packed with gauze from the hospital...
Reattaching the severed tendon...
Tendon reattached...
Stitched up with drains inserted...
I broke the footpeg off the bike with my right shin and my left thumb was dislocated at both joints which is the reason for those 2 wraps.
And here it is after the drains were removed.
Hurts like a whore everyday and i have a hard time doing anything really. I also have a bruised lung and was knocked unconscious. I am hoping in a few weeks I will be well enough to ride again.
Ride safe everyone. And wear your gear, it saved my life. (again)
