How did you get injured on your motor bike?

Jemma,
Check my reply/post......some people are lucky.....some more so ......

Thanks,
Salty

got drunk and stoned at a buddy's house, was originally going to walk the bike home, for some reason i attempted to ride off on it. i was in no condition to ride anything. ended up falling on face and lying on the road passed out until the wee hours of the morning when a cop called an ambulance to pick me up. still don't know what actually happened, all i remember is playing pool with my other buddy who was there, then next thing i know i wake in an ambulance. got off with scratches and bruises and a busted rear derailleur and clutch lever, which i fixed within the next two days. didn't get in trouble with the cops either, although either the cop or one of the nosy-ass paramedics stole my green goodies from my pocket. moral of the story don't drink and drive

Ok, I have a story for you! I was on my way to work, it was dark. I had a headlight, but it was only a light ment to strap to your forehead from the dollar store, tie strapped to my handlebars. Right before my work, there is an arena. Behind the arena is parking and a little roadway around the building. There is construction going on there. As I turn the corner on the roadway, my light reveals a huge TRACTOR TIRE right in my path! Now I'm accelerating out of the corner at this point, I had no time, I banked left, but not enough. Up and over I went. I banged my self up a bit, when I stood I knew I was fine. I could hear the bike running in the background. I walk over, and pick it up. It stalls. I look at it, and the tank is completely sideways! I grabbed it quickly and twisted it straight. At that time I heard a sizzle, looked down, and saw smoke... I realized my fuel line was no longer attached, and it was getting everywhere! I panicked, and struggled to re-attach the fuel line. (elbow was injured, and was really starting to hurt at this point.) I did a brief inspection, everything seemed ok, except my headlight was destroyed, and my (left side) clutch and brake were loose. I tightened those, checked the centering of the engine, and the chain. Started it right back up, no problem, drove to a phone booth, and called into work. I was covered in gasoline, and sore from head to toe. Not to mention I was pretty mad, I mean, who just leaves a huge tractor tire in the middle of the roadway, at the end of a corner blinded by construction fencing?!? lol. So, I got home and made sure everything was good with the bike, then I tended to my wounds, and relaxed. The next day at work, they wrote me up for calling in 23 minutes past 10pm (our deadline, I start at 11pm, midnight shift) and recieved an in-house one day suspension! That my friends, was the bail from hel l, and I never wish a tractor tire upon anybody ever! Thanks for reading!

I have an older wipe out story also guys! With the engine I'm running now, riding at 4am, no cars anywhere, got her up to 45km/h, took a corner racing style, following a wide line. My right pedal (turning right) caught the pavement, and down I went! I swear I slid in riding position, on my side, for like 30 feet! lol, I'm lucky that I had my leather jacket, and two hoodie sweaters on, my shoulder would have looked alot worse! Through all the clothing I was wearing, and my leather, my shoulder looked very similar to the picture in my previous bail story. Lol. One time I tried a burnout in the snow. Don't try that, it doesn't turn out well... neither do wheelies for that matter. LOL. ***Yes, I've tried*** ha ha, well, that's it, that's all my bails for now, we'll see if there are any more! Later!

i was turning right(from the left lane in Australia)and being a smartass ,turned the corner tight, pulling right in tight behind the oncoming car but he stopped dead in the middle of the T section to check out my ride, i had to pull out of my turn and smacked straight into the curb . ouch.... bent the front rim into a 90 degree shape, all manner of bits and pieces of the bike fell off, my 66cc 2 stroke was fine!!! needless to say the car then drove off, i got up quickly(trying to convince myself i was not a ####wit),jumped on the rim til it would wobble through the forks and rode off...after about 2 more kms i started to feel it, then my bottom bracket fell too pieces.it was time to walk! stashed my bike in the lantana by the road side and hitched a ride to hospital(took an hr n a half b4 someone stopped!!).diagnosis:- broken arm in 2 places, sprained wrist, lotsa road rash and purple shins...i dont get my car license back for 3 years (whats the colour of a 2 cent piece?) ,now i cant ride my bike for a 4-6 weeks...i live 3kms from anywhere... is there a di##head of the month award?

Hey everyone,
On three different occasions an a**hole pulled out right in front of me causing me to make a split second decision.....hit the car or hit the curb......luckily my bike is a tank....but I'm not.....I've picked out specks of gravel from various locations on my arms and legs.....had to wear an elbow brace for weeks.......gone for x-rays....( luckily nothing broken )....had a $500 pair of eyeglasses broken...
You can be the most diligent rider on the planet and someone is still going to be a dumbf*#k and take you out......
Look....Listen....Learn.......words to live by....


Laters,

Famous last words mate!

I've owned my MB for four days now and I had a little wipeout my second day riding. I took a turn a little too fast and hit the curb on the outside side of the turn. Luckily there was a nice soft patch of grass that both my cycle and I landed in. The bike was fine and fired right up, I walked away with a scrape on my left knee and elbow and a profound realization that if I'm going to be riding this thing everyday, I need to be more careful. I also realized that the first thing I'm buying for my bike is upgraded brakes.

don't forget your helmet either

i had fixed a flat and put the wheel back on the back without loosening my chain tensioner...well it worked but later that day i was heading wot at my dead end road(i live at the end)...well the motor's chain was tight but the bike's was not...the bike chain fell off and i had no more coaster brake....my options were to run into the woods or try to hang the hard u turn...the woods here are full of rocks and ledges so i went for the u-y...the tires couldnt hold on so i spilled and separated my sholder...i was not discouraged and was back riding that same week...lesson learned...if you take your wheel off, retension every thing....it will not just go back into te exact place it was
