[pardon my crappy typing, im typing left handed]
So i was riding through Loch Raven today and i came around a corner and a wrx wagon was ripping through the turn going the other way. He turned too wide and crosse the double yellow. I swerve, hit sandish gravel junk and slide into the guard rail. I bouned off and layed the bike over on the left side. I started spinning, my front wheel hit the vertical I beam that goes into the ground. it taco'd my rim, i tumbled and spun and slid.
My head hit the ground on the back then front of the helmet. my face shield popped off. i got up and my friend and a passing harley helped me get my bike off the road. Fire truck, ambulance, cops, closed road. i refused to go in the ambulance.
had my bike towed home ($175 for 5 miles), then had a friend take me to the ER.
My gear saved my life. See my gear here, about 1/4 down: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4473634
i got a bump on elbows, knees are sore, and im achey. No road rash, other then skinned knees from my jeans.
The only damage is my right hand. I got a "boxers fracture".
See my pinky:
