    looks like he at least wore a helmut. I'd ask to be put in a coma for a few weeks to avoid the agony.

    Looks like he met the asphalt without his cow-skin shield.

    I rode for thirty years before my arthritis got too bad to sling a leg over Seamus (Seamus Michael Finn, a VTX 1800C) and only kissed the Asphalt Goddess one time. Blizzard of '93...slid for about sixty feet because I wanted to find out what it was like to ride in a blizzard.

    I have a pic of a friend that's about 1/4 as bad. Not as much skin damage but a lot of deep bruising, but surprisingly no broken ribs. Dumbass lost it going too fast on an ATV and sideswiped a tree.

    That's officially on the list of 'Stories we don't tell around the womenfolk'. Right after the story with the bear.

    Little rubbing alcohol needed to clean that out.

    Old fashioned methiolate would be best. Never had a scar after being soaked with that EVIL concoction.
    Burned like hell but healed perfectly and my family ENJOYED watching the "cure".

    This needs generous applications of betadine.

    I don't ride a motorcycle. I owned one, for about 6 months, during the winter time, and then traded it to my brother for a rifle.
    Everyone that I know who rides, can always tell a story about the time that they had to lay it down. Most of them came out just fine, but a friend one year younger than me, in highschool hit a deer, and lost one leg, while riding just at dusk, in the spring.
    The older I get, the slower I heal. And the less excited I get about being hurt. The road rash that guy has must be the worst case that I have seen.

    That why I always shiver when I see some young girl riding without leathers. Yes, it looks really cool and is the symbol of summer - but.....

    ATGATT. You don't dress for the ride, you dress for the crash. Only reason I'm still here, & it was still a near-run thing.
