Ducati Monster v/s deer



Two surgeries, 14 screws, three plates, 55 staples...I walked away, deer wasn't so lucky. Had on full leathers and helmet, and besides this mess, no rash, bruises, not even sore the next day...wear your gear kids. Doc said the break was from the impact with the deer, as the bone was broken the wrong direction for it to have occurred from the fall. And yes, those are bone fragments floating around in the x-ray of my arm...

 

Wow you guys make me not want to ride anymore

Man... i like your avatar, Alison Angel mmm.

 

WOW you guys have some crazy injuries.....jay, how in the heck did you manage to get a pic of that muscle wound prior to them sewing it up?

 

Hayden, as the plastic surgeon was about to stitch it, i asked if i could snap a pic w/ my camera phone and he laughed and said "why?", i told him "b/c.....lol, look at it!!!"

i always get pics of my injuries haha.

 

[&:]damn! crazy stuff! been riding for about 8 months and no injuries...yet. *knocks on wood*

 

You guys are lucky! I learned about the gear the hard way, totaled my F2 wearing no gear except a helmet. I had only been riding for a few months and wasn't any wiser than an infant. I don't have any pics, but just think about the concrete eating through a T-shirt. I will always wear my gear now. When I first met my girlfriend she used to complain about having to wear her jacket, gloves, jeans, etc. I think she understands now after some of the stuff we have seen.

 

Pwned a deer last year. (maybe it was the other way around)

Ended up going over, the bike landed on me, caught my shoulder and ripped everything in it to hell.(still having surgerys) bounced about 70 feet before being stopped by a tree. (shattering my pelvis and knee) I was also dumb and didnt wear gear..i always wore my helmet..but i never took the time to strap it. So right when i went over the bars the helmet shot right off my head. bounced my face on the pavement a few times. Lesson learned..no pics really..just of the bike.





And the stump that litterally saved me. even though it broke some bones..if i would have missed this i would have been impailed by the sharp pieces of fence/brush just a few feet down from this.


Man am i glad that stump was there.

 

no body else has gotten hurt?

 

Course they have! But who can follow those acts? Most I've done is torn the joint, ligament, and muscle in my thumb and kinda shrugged the injury off.. my dad (a hand specialist) took a look at it a few months later since I said that I hurt it and it doesn't move as much as it used to and he told me I was stupid for not showing him at first. So now my thumb has limited movement for life but really that's just a trivial thing compared to these injuries.
