[Dr. Joe Siphek]

what's the story?

[bornwildnfree]

I'm glad your helmet saved your head. I told you using your helmet as a hammer was a bad idea though LOL. Seriously, what'd you do?

[rfranks303]

My condolences. These things are never easy.

[Sean]

If I had to guess, I'd say that his head hit something that didn't want to move.

Did they have to cut the helmet off? It looks that way in the pic. Hope you're okay.

[Mother Goose]

Damn Derek, what happened?

[cptschlongenheimer]

Quit copying me!

[Jmetz]

These pictures are worthless without a story!

[derekm]

I went head on with another rider in a parking lot, just a random one in a million accident. He got a cut on his head where the liner of his lid pulled too much & bruised genitals. I got a concussion, sprain knee, huge leg bruises x2, dislocated wrist & compound metacarple fracture. I have a plate & screws in my wrist & pins in my hand.

Damn man. Sorry to hear.

Geeze, what's with all the crashing?!! Jousting on motorcycles is never a good idea.

At least now I don't feel like such a klutz. Snapped my tib/fib on Monday. I've got more screws and plates to rival the hardware shelves at Lowes.

At least mine's Kawi green, in honor of the bike that bit me.

Looks like it may pull to the left just a bit. Glad you are reasonably ok.

[Clovis]

At least all the crashing is happening at the end of the riding season. This sure has been a season for crashes through. Just about everybody that I ride with (and these are good riders) has gone down this year :(

[FZRguy]

Damn you guys, I feel your pain. Maybe we need a sub-forum just for us walking wounded.

[madvlad]

Ouch, glad it wasnt worse man but agree with many here... Have yet to see a year with as many crashes as this one.

[cptschlongenheimer]

You guys always gotta one-up me huh?
Heal up quick bros!

[longrider]

Derek, were you in Denver or the Springs? I ask because the last time I was down south I watched 2 bikes come together! Fortunately then there were no serious injuries and both bikes were still rideable

[derekm]

Up here Paul

[longrider]

Well then I guess I cant say C Springs is jinxed :) Seriously, heal up quick!!

[Drano]

Well then I guess I cant say C Springs is jinxed :) Seriously, heal up quick!!


The Springs is jinxed too, no doubt about it :(

[Vellos]

:(

[derekm]

I'm done with the game! I will continue to watch & see the younger kids ( & some older ones too) do crazy shit on bikes. I'm gonna stick to what I've been doing the past year, changing old v-8's & diapers!
