It's fortunate that you only suffered those mild injuries - your gear looks pretty rough. Glad to hear it wasn't much worse, considering the woods and all.
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: KnightofNi on September 10, 2009, 10:44:49 AM what were you doing on a dirt road at 80mph on the duc?
heal up, and next time get a different bike, they dont' get as damaged as the duc. **i cna't see the pics at work, if you were on a diff bike then my apologies. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: causeofkaos on September 10, 2009, 10:51:00 AM Heal quick.. How bads the bike?
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Pakhan on September 10, 2009, 10:57:03 AM The dirt road was run off I went for, came in too hot to a turn over a hill. Was either run off or the barrier and bridge. Bike is unknown, but I think it tumbled not slid. Will post pics when I can.
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: He Man on September 10, 2009, 11:27:58 AM ahh! This is a bad week. Glad to hear you were wearing gear and all you walked away!
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Pakhan on September 10, 2009, 11:45:49 AM ahh! This is a bad week. Glad to hear you were wearing gear and all you walked away! not only walked, tried to lift bike but had 0 strength. then the shoulder pain, dizziness, and tunnel vision came. had to sit before collapse. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: numbskull on September 10, 2009, 12:00:18 PM At 80 mph, it could have been far, far worse. Glad you came out of that relatively unscathed. Heal up!
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: IZ on September 10, 2009, 12:09:19 PM nice scale shots with the cigs. [laugh]
Yeah..what Kni said?! ?? !! Going 80 "too hot to a turn over a hill"?? :-X Glad you're ok though Pak! Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: somegirl on September 10, 2009, 12:50:39 PM Wow, scary stuff. Glad you are relatively ok.
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: ducpainter on September 10, 2009, 03:45:00 PM Glad you're OK Jake.
Wouldn't this be better in the riding techniques crash thread or the gear that saved your life thread? :-\ it's def moto related. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Pakhan on September 10, 2009, 04:59:32 PM Thanks DP.
I didn't know where to put this, can you transfer it? Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: WhiteStripe on September 10, 2009, 05:12:54 PM Dont you know that smokeing is dangerous [roll]
Glad you are ok! Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: ducpainter on September 10, 2009, 05:47:11 PM Thanks DP. You bet.I didn't know where to put this, can you transfer it? I figured more would see it in general. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: eesnas on September 10, 2009, 06:51:59 PM Always wear the gear!!!
I cringe when I see people without helmets and/or gear, it's a choice where I live but my brain and body are too important not to protect. I can understand people might not want to wear leather pants with all the pads but there are plenty of Kevlar lined jeans with the knee pads inside that look just like regular jeans, it just makes no sense to me why people so often don't wear this stuff. Riding is dangerous enough with all the crazy idiots out there with their "mobile office" mentality toward driving, why people choose not to wear gear is beyond me and it seems irresponsible. I wear a full face Arai, Icon gloves, Alpinestars leather with the pads, Draggin jeans with the pads, and Double H harness boots- all this stuff looks good enough to go into a restaurant with and also keeps me feeling safe, I don't even ride aggressive I just want to ensure I get home in one piece everytime. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: EvilSteve on September 10, 2009, 07:59:49 PM Glad you're ok Jake, looks as though it could have been a lot worse. PM me if you need anything.
Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Raux on September 11, 2009, 08:22:00 AM wow, great to hear you had the run off... and gear.
too bad about the bike and injuries but both will recover one way or another (rebuilding or totalling) Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Pakhan on September 11, 2009, 12:20:55 PM thanx everyone. xray here

Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: Pakhan on September 11, 2009, 12:54:48 PM That looks a little discomfortable :( Constant pain [thumbsup] My own fault, in a sling and hard to type w/ 1 hand. The whole story will have to wait. Short version: On peekamoose rd going way too fast.

It's good advice.
Glad you survived. Heal quickly! Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: EvilSteve on September 12, 2009, 07:15:39 AM Peekamoose can be pretty sketchy in places Jake. Glad you're ok but there are better roads to light it up on. It could have been a lot worse too, there are a bunch of drop offs on that road and the creek.
Totally sucks dude, at least ECS have something to play with now. ;) Get you some drugs and heal fast mate. Title: Re: Wear your gear Post by: MadDuck on September 12, 2009, 03:15:27 PM It's just those pesky superbikes. They have a way too easy way of going faster than you think you are and making you feel good about it. ;D Heal quickly.
