just got home from hospital. i will live relax!! takes more than a make the beast with two backsing dakota to stop me.
i had taken something to a friends house over on miller rd in midlothian. i am leaving his house and i see a van pulling out a few houses down. i stop and wave her to back up so that she can change the light to green when we get there. we get to the light both turning from miller onto 67 to go north having to cross the southbound side obviously. the light turns green and she starts through as do i behind her. the next thing i remember is laying on the pavement and my bike is running but sounds funny. i get up, shut it off and try to pick it up when i hear a crunch and pop in my right shoulder. i drop it back down because i thought to myself i dont know what i did but it just make the beast with two backsing hurt. a guy had put his hand on my back and i remember shoving him away as i stumbled around trying to regain my balance. i pulled my phone out called tina and then my buddy nick real quick. (btw tina beat everyone to the scene. shane said he didn't know a focus would go that fast.). i remember the guy that hit me asking if i was ok. i remember telling the paramedic to just pull my utag off for my medical info as i was getting into the ambulance.
according to tina the cop estimates the guy was doing about 75 when he hit me because his skids marks are 120 feet long before going into the ditch. the guy did have insurance and told the cop he ran the red light. the witnesses told the cop he ran the red light and that when he hit me it shot me into the air as high as a tractor trailer is tall. one guy told the cop that i looked like popcorn in a popcorn popper. the cop told tina i should be dead. by all accounts i landed on the right side of my head and my right shoulder.
the hospital treated me for minor concussion and "seperated and replaced" right shoulder. i could remember some of what the doctor asked but i couldnt remember it all thats why he thinks its just minor. he said the x-rays show obviuos shoulder damage but when i tried to pick up the bike it popped back into place.
the bike doesnt look to good. shane said its tracking all sideways. tons of cosmetic damage and leaking fluids. i just took a quick glance at it when i got home. i didnt want to look because i knew i would be pissed. regardless i am fine and just real sore. little headache but you know us marines we can be a little hardheaded.
will post some pics when i get time to take them.

Jesus H. Christ!  glad you are ok!
This. Lots of this. The bike will still be there when you're healed, and I'm pretty sure this guy's insurance will be buying you a new whatever you want. |

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

Orville Frickin' Redenbacher, what a story!  Now I know what I should have done to reduce my separated shoulder when I face-planted in '06: "with the affected limb, pick up a 400 lb. weight".  I'm very relieved to hear that you're still with us, and hope you are back to 100% by the time the settlement check arrives. What model Ducati are you thinking of getting, anyway?  |
