BTDT... Overcooked a corner in Arkansas. The guys at the volunteer firehouse got a good laugh at the whiney biker. :)

Post by: Slideways on February 04, 2014, 06:11:37 PM: Firehouse, ER?! Nope. Got so many places that don't tan anymore I don't do the ER unless it's major. Last time I broke my arm I didn't go until a doctor riding buddy insisted and after confirming it was broken told me to go home ang keep doing what I was already doing, sigh. See coulda saved a trip right there.

For all of you who read this though if you ever find yourself needing to treat road rash look for Tegaderm. You will be much more comfortable and heal much faster with less chance of infection provided you cleaned it properly at the start.

Yup, pobably staged but still cracked me up enough I wanted to share. The cigarette is a nice touch...

I'm betting he had a SEG just before the foot slipped off, the grimace is in it's infancy stage as he realizes he is about to put the cigarette out with his face and the pavement. He is also singing a few octaves higher. If he had his inner elbow up (right side isn't too shabby, but he has a death grip, so major fail on style points) and in a relaxed position he may have pulled it off.
Makes me want to go out and give this a shot ;D ATGATT FWIW.

Excellent! I've never seen the routing of dual exhaust on this bike before. Interesting that they cross.

I don't think he is even moving. Looks like he is holding the brake lever to keep the bike from rolling while he poses.

"Easily distracted" is not a T-shirt I want to see on a motorcyclist, or anyone for that matter.

Staged! He on his left toes and it looks like there is something under his knee to hold it off the ground.

That would be normal with proper countersteering. :)

Which it's not as we don't see any blood trail where his left foot toes are scraping.
