[QUOTE="CollingsBob, post: 1450155, member: 91351"] I used to push the envelope…then on June 4th I came off my freshly restored Vincent at 60mph.. 6 broken ribs, a punctured lung and a broken & fractured shoulder blade. Resurgence kevlar jeans, a Klim Latitude jacket, Alpinestars Web Goretex boots, Racer gauntlet gloves and a Shoei RF1400 helmet all prevented road rash ( I slid on my face after impacting on my left shoulder and left side) They took 16 CT scans of my head, neck and spine..then they put in a chest tube to drain the blood out of my chest cavity, an epidural in my spine for the pain and a catheter in my man meat. 9 days in the hospital, most of which I cannot remember due to the Ketamine and Hydromorphone they gave me to try and kill the pain. Today is September 28th. I still can’t sleep on my left side..I still take pain killers to get through the day and although I have been able to get back on my FJR, I can’t ride for more than 15 minutes without a lot of pain. Oh…and my Vincent which my father bought new and I’ve owned since the early 80’s is for sale. [/QUOTE]
