Rode ALL day. Mud, ice, snow, mud, gravel, mud, pavement.

Did 150 to 200 miles (I'm not sure), and in the last 5 miles,


BAM!!

The bone on the right is in three pieces.



Aren't supermotos great though.
Total damage:
one foot peg
one rear fender (which I already have a replacement for)

My wife picked me and the bike up with the van and took us to the ER.
They wouldn't treat the bike???

I'm getting two plates in my wrist on Friday.

The Ortho doing it has a Duc Monster, KLR650, DRZ400 and a CRF100.

I think I'm in good hands.

WonderMike even ran home and came back with his truck, but my wife had already

loaded us up and hauled butt.

I guess I'll just be working on bikes till March.
poop.

And the story is............................ We need all the details to make an accurate assessment as to how cool it is

I forgot that part.

I looped a wheelie at about 50/60.

I broke my cardinal rule of not wheelying at the end of the day when I'm tired.

Uphill, brought it up in 2nd, hit 3rd, then 4th, then, BAM

I was bouncing down the road.

Didn't touch my helmet though. :thumbup:

I did what's known as a Goose.





:laughingr

I resemble that remark. :twofinger

Glad the injuries to you and the XR were no worse. Seriously, give me a shout if you need two hands for something.
(I know I just opened myself up to all kinds of abuse with that one).:headshake

Actually for looping the bike, the bike came out ok.. sorry you F'd your wrist/hand up....heal quick man :thumbup:

 

[apexspeed]

I usually loop it at least once a year, the pavement allways hurts more, my worst was when I hyper-extended my knee. (tryed to run behind it to keep from looping)

that sux SVmango, heal well bro!

why do we still do it? I couldnt stop if I had to.. we need thumb brakes!

I like your hauler set-up! and the bike is a mess, who did that to you HAhaha!

 

[paroxysm]

Uhg, heal up quick!

 

[Wackyd]

Damn that sucks,...Get well soon

 

[Stumpy]

Nicely done, sir. I sure hope you're right handed or you're gonna have to take Goose up on his offer...

 

[Lurkerlou]

Heal fast and it's really great to know you are in a doctors hands who also rides.

The fact he rides will save plenty of "I see so many people on motorcycle in here" stories.

Get well soon.

 

[upstateSC-rider]

Ouch, sorry to hear that.
You should be good to go by the next WNC epic ride, though. :thumbup:

Hopefully I'll never have that injury because, as you guys well know, I can't wheelie to save my life. :rofl:

Heal soon.

Lou.

 

[Dissident]

Man, that sucks! Just like my story of the epic ride weekend; rode 350+ miles over three days without going home, rode sand, dirt, rocks, pavement, jumped stuff, you name it, and 2 miles from my house, I highsided in the street just getting on the gas to pass a car.

A less than subtle remind that things can happen anywhere anytime...

 

[raider9170]

I figured it was a looped wheelie by looking at the rear fender, lol. Sounds like it could've been worse though, 60 is no joke. That is also why I don't like to upshift through highspeed wheelies. I am a big fan of clutching up 3rd at like 40-45 and just roll it there or even slow it down some.

You don't need thumb brakes, you need to learn to cover the rear brake and use it. I have seen lots of people loop wheelies who DID have the brake covered. They just started to panic and didn't hit it. I trained myself by riding a wheelie below balance point then just start to hit it a little so you get a feel. That way you are doing it for fun, no stress of flipping.

my othropedic surgeon/friend crashed his Duc hard a couple weeks ago..got busted up pretty bad actually.

 

[muxherdlr]

Bad karma, I read where you were bashing the truck backflip....
Get well soon...I need a few things done to the bike?

[DR Willy]

Mango, I hate it for you bro.

I broke my collar bone and wrist a couple winters ago. I was out of work for 5 weeks, gained 25 pounds(damn crocke pot), and watched every episode of Rosanne that was ever made.

This does make me step back and take a look at my....well, you know.

Wishing you a speedy recovery dude:thumbup:

 

[tree18is]

dude, your the man, SICK VAN!
shave that rear tail and see what it looks like! just that little bit hanging down from the light.

 

[svmango]

dude, your the man, SICK VAN!
.

Total pimp wagon G.

Gots disco lights all the way around this shizzy.

BTW, thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm going for two more opinions

and more x-rays tomorrow. A friend that had the same break at Road Atlanta avoided

surgery and was riding three weeks later. Here's hoping.

 

[wopachop]

sick pic dude there is no doubt youre down to ride, i bet that van smells so good..seriously i like it smells like fun :lol: i wonder if an air freshener in the shape of a motard that smells like racegas/grease/tires/mud/puke toolbox/ would sell.

p.s.why do old ass unopened toolboxes smell like puke..? :laughingr

 

[campas]

War wounds, old man once told me "If you aint breaking shit you aint trying hard enough" just rebounding from a complete overhaul of the right shoulder
subcromial decompression, rotator cuff repair, there was a 3/8" hole in it bla bla bla, take your time on recovery, thearpy, thaerpy, than let the fun commence don't make much sense to me to put a perfectly healthy body in a casket kudos to you on your Looper.. :clap:
