Hello Pompones,

Take a look at this viscious crash that Ben Spies had at Assen Holland last weekend in the World Superbike race

Damn!!!  Glad he walked it off, but I didn't like the way he kept looking at his left hand.  Hopefully no pinkee damage.  Been there, done that!

Gloria,

Yeah, I noticed him looking at his hand. Troy Bayliss had a low side fall in England a couple of years ago and the end of the handlbar pinched his pinky between it and the road surface. He wound up losing about half his pinky. Super Bike Planet began calling him "Nine Fingers." In the same crash Troy also got hit by the motorcycle and it hit him in the family jewels area and he said it felt like someone hit him with a cricket bat.

How colorful!!!  I guess I got off light then... laughingdp laughingdp  Speaking of such trauma, if you look on the NMMR board, there's a thread called the Fudge Bull Run.  The second video on there is of JJ, one of our compadres, riding the mechanical bull in Red River.  He met with a similar fate on the first buck making the rest of the ride merely survival.
