Here is the aftermath of my motorcycle accident which occurred in December of 2008. It resulted in 9 hours in the ER and a broken right scapula and a bit of road rash. I was wearing full gear so I consider myself pretty lucky.
Blast, Crash, BLAM!

I would be really hesitant to suggest you get a bike. As you can see, my accident was only 30-35mph and it fucked me up really bad, and I was wearing FULL leathers from head to toe. I would stick to sports cars unless you plan on just getting a bike for the track. Once I get my own car I might turn my motorcycle into a dedicated track bike, its a ton safer and you can’t get speeding tickets! Just my 2 cents. You should check out my website, I link to it in my channel page.

I actually think that lane splitting prevents more accidents than it causes. But thats just my 2 cents.
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Even though lane splitting was legal for him it just doesn’t seem worth it. It’s illegal in my state and I can see how that is a risky maneuver.

That sucks! hopefully you took out one of those fuggly self righteous Hybrids….
I downed my 2005 zx-636 2 week after I bought it (SQUID! LOL) in a round about gear+frame sliders Helped + only a couple VERY minor scratches on the bike when you fix it keep and eye out for lockhart phillip’s no-cut frame sliders!

No back protector? Could have saved your shoulder. I never ride without one. Whatever, heal quickly mate, luck and peace.

Yes, I’m glad you were. Consider saving money for the bike mantainace, even if it means buying less knives each month…

I am not golden glove quality like you but I made a one arm fighting video for you today .
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
No problem man, I look forward to seeing some more videos of yours!
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Thanks jhicks. I wonder if it is better that the scapula is mainly attached with muscles than with bone… It should make the healing process a little more interesting.
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Haha yes I am really glad I followed my advice. My knee would have been MESSED UP!
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Well I’m hoping I have a bit better luck with my shoulder than you did with your foot. It would suck if I was never able to properly punch again. Hah, maybe you could make some videos demonstrating what you can do to defend yourself with only your left hand? I feel like I could jab pretty well, and I always carry a knife with me, but I rarely practice with my left. I guess it’s time to start
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Yep that is great advice. I just though my margin of safety was greater than it was, I’m just glad I was wearing full gear.
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Haha I know I should. I was actually invited to go on a TV show a few days ago and throw knives but I had to turn them down because I can’t throw with my left hand. Bummer huh?

Well it was kind of a high side, basically the bike just fell on its side at 30mph. The bike wasn’t behind me or in front of me, just to the side. That being said, I have highsided before at like 20mph and it was NOT fun.
Anonymous 04.03.09 at 6:23 am
Was it a high side wreck? Those are terrible! Regardless, a crash always shakes you. Get riding again as soon as you can!
