That’s a great idea. Thanks!
Thanks so much. Makes sense. I’m getting the stitches out of my foot on Monday and will start riding again and see if there are any issues.
So wise. Before this accident happened our group of 3 was stuck behind a long line of cars with a farm tractor that was going 50 km/hr for like 15 minutes. I foolishly started to pass cars on a solid yellow and broke the cardinal rule of group riding and passed the leader. Impatience is so unwise. Accident happened an hour later.
I’m new to this forum. To post that I’m looking around for a stock muffler, do I just do a new post, or is there a specific existing one I should go to?
Bought the boots from a motorcycle shop, but in retrospect they were relatively useless against a foot peg. The zipper was convenient, but introduced a weak spot at the worst place. I’m going to get more dirt bike type boots with hard plastic on the inside. In my mind now, riding in runners is a recipe for hamburger foot. I rode the bike 40 minutes to the hospital. Likely wasn’t super smart, but didn’t want a big police report…Thanks for answering the details on the foot. I was curios about the injury and was trying to imagine what caused 18 stitches in such a small area. Based on your description I would keep the muffler the way it is
Is your boot a work boot or a something designed specifically for motorcycles?
Ouch. I think part of the problem is the NC pegs are kinda pointy.
It happened so fast. I felt like an observer. No emotion. Have you ever had an accident?
Riding twisty roads around Vernon with two much more experienced riders; one in front, one behind. Maybe subconscious pressure to keep up with front rider and not slow down back rider. I thinK I applied back brake on the corner; can’t quite remember. Instead of looking around corner, somehow got fixated straight ahead and that’s where I went into the bushes. Last 2 seconds or so, when I knew I was in trouble, I felt like I just zoned out and didn’t even apply brakes. Kind of a strange moment. Was able to ride the bike to the hospital strangely enough. Someone said if you’re riding a road you’re unfamiliar with slow down more than you normally would. Makes total sense. Grateful it wasn’t worse. I believe in the personal God of the Bible and He spared me….for now I have a before photo of the would and it is pretty nasty.
Your profile picture is very cool! Where was it taken? What bike were you riding?
Very glad that you are healing up!
Great idea. Thanks!
