| |  Why we need helmets
Well it happened,
I crashed on my way to work it was my own fault i was on the side of the road too close to the side walk and there was a grove between the road and the side walk and my front wheel got stuck.
I flew over the handle bars landed on my head and my left hand my wrist is broken in two places my right shoulder is very sore. but my helmet took most of the damage!
oh yea and my safety sun glasses from home depot ($9.99) saved my right eye!
My face has some road rash and my body is aching but i cannot wait to ride again  But from now on i will be more careful  |

yikes, not another one.
Ok everybody, stop crashing your bikes. Otherwise my wife will probably make me stop riding. 
Glad to hear you're ok (coulda been much worse).
This is why I don't like riding on the right of the road. Those grooves are a pain, and so are the drainage things that open up. I will take up more of the road and the drivers can deal with it. |

Wow, looks like you hit your head pretty hard to crack your helmet. Good thing the helmet and not your head or neck. This is why I always wear a full face helmet. I've been down a few times and you never know when accidents happen. |

Oh No  I'm with Jason, to many crashes here lately.
Geee MPM, I'm glad you were not hurt worse. I broke my wrist years ago and got a bunch of pins holding it together. It has never been right since and gives me a lot of problems. I hope your wrist wasn't as bad as mine.
EVERYBODY PLEASE WEAR A HELMET....it's not that big of a deal to wear one.
Rest up MPM and take care of yourself, and again, sorry to hear about your crash and injuries  |

Sorry about the accident. No matter how careful a person can be, they always are taken by surprise. Good to hear that you're alive.

I am very happy to hear that it wasn't any worse. You know it could have been. Man I hope it looks worse than it was. That helmet looks like the head inside wouldn't be all that well off.
I had my big falls early on and on bikes with no motors. I'm glad that I did in a way. I got a little road rash but I learned a healthy respect for the bikes.
Hope you get back on it and be careful. have fun but be careful
