so a few months ago i picked up a 92 f2 from a friend for 400 bucks. my first bike and i learned how to ride. for a few months i rode that thing EVERYWHERE and i got pretty good at riding. i have to say i almost always had my gear on and i had alot of respect for the bike, so i was always more then carefull on it.

well 5 weeks ago i was going down a one way 3 lane road at 1am. my girlfrend was following me in my car. the street was EMPTY. and we were passing a intersection with buildings very close, so it was a blind one. Guy in a pickup truck runs a red light and THANK GOD i hit him, instead of him hitting me. (mind you this is the story i get from witnesses) 6 day coma, brain bleeding, collaped lung, internal bleeding, 7 broken bones, including shoulder blade, both shoulders, left arm, collar bone, broken knee and broken neck. and close to 6 fractures. 5 weeks later im up and running , walking around and moving both arms. Thank god nothing permanent, i'll be back in great shape in no time.
well here are the pics of the bike and some hospital pics..... and i cant WAIT to get back on a ride!!
mind you i was in FULL gear.

wow sorry to hear that! glad you had gear on though! BEST OF LUCK healing and getting another bike!

 

Hey, nice ***!!! LOL!!

Very glad you are alive. This makes two now I've seen in two days where the injuries were very severe and you guys pulled through. (954rr forum is the other) I'm also very glad to read that you can walk and are going to make a recovery. Good luck with the rest of the recovery and please post again if you wind up getting another ride.

 

Sorry to see your bit of bad luck....you are alive to speak about it though...Heal up quickly!

haha yes that is my AMAZING ***!!!
my GF since she saw the accident is terrified of bikes, and she wants to get rid of her R6 i think i might just take if from her. but man i miss the F2 i had some plans for that thing

 

Do you have any idea how fast you were going? Did you hit the front or back of the truck? Did you go over the truck or basically slam into it? Did the other guy hang around?

 

my gf says she was in 1st gear behind me so i couldnt be going much too fast. i hit the front of his truck on the pass fender.i started going over his truck but hit the fender with my body as he was turning away from me, i landed 5 feet to the side, and the bike bounced off too and landed another 5 feet away from me

 

Och man. Glad to hear your walking... Hope to see you on 2 again.

Good to hear you're ok. Its ridiculous how many injuries and deaths there have been on bikes this year. I still look both ways when I'm going through a green cause you never know when someone ain't payin attention.

 

ATGATT. Good luck on your recovery and get riding again! Keep that head up and looking!
