woke up in the hospital with head trauma, memory loss, and dislocated wrist total cost....$110,000 in medical bills....
No rash..thanks to full gear including knee/shin gaurds I purchased the DAY BEFORE..
Gear helps people...prevented me from rash...extra pain i didn't need.

very true my last meeting with the ford and asphalt made me a believer in proper road gear

Hey man, we're glad you walked away from that one. Heading around the next bend and finding the rear half of the group gone after a quick headcheck was very un-nerving.

Haha I was kiddin, it was entirely my fault and I'm glad I made it through the run earlier this year near the front even though the pace was pretty slow. But yeah a shitload of people turned around and came back. 
Also, I forgot.. my bike went down another time but I wasn't on it. Somebody rolled their bike into mine when everyone was stopped for Rev's crash.  The damage was mechanically worse in that one then when I crashed it because the front brake lever broke off! Then the guy mysteriously took off pretty soon after that.. |

In my profound wisdom I find it's better to be the kind that have not gone down.

In all seriousness I have had my share of close calls and whatnot. I just have never made contact with the pavement. One can't honestly expect to ride and not come across them at some point in time.. I have just been lucky over the years and ride rather conservatively .

I remember one ride when you were the only one keeping up with me - Sorry, not quite the only one, you had a passenger that day...

Well... I certainly wouldn't say keeping up with you,.. At least I managed to keep sight of you.. ( some of the time) LOL
I guess that wasn't too bad for being 2-up
