I’ve always heard that there are two types of motorcyclists, the ones that have gone down and the ones that will. Unfortunately I’ve joined the ranks of the ones who’ve had that unexpected “off”. The wreck happened as I was turning and hit a slick spot on (gravel I think) the road. I was only doing about 10mph. The bike kicked out from under me and landed on my right leg. I broke both my tibia and fibula in a particularly nasty way. I now have a “bone nailing” in my tibia so that means I now have a rod down the shaft of my bone. I’ll post the x-rays when/if I get them.
The thing that pisses me off the most was that I have a nice pair of Sidi boots that might have reduced or prevented the injury but I was wearing a pair of Dr. Martens instead. So my question is how many of you have gone down, were you injured , and were you wearing all your gear when it happened?
P.S. Please excuse me if any of this is unclear but the drugs are still messing me up.
