Bad way to end a ride... 2 Years, 10 Months ago

OUCH! This was a self inflected life changing screw up.

Vanderburgh County Deputies are having a difficult time identifying a man seriously injured in a motorcycle accident Monday night.
The driver of the sports bike also known as a Crotch Rocket wrecked a little after 7:30.
According to witnesses the driver was traveling more than 100-miles-per-hour on Boonville New Harmony road near Green River Road when he lost control.
Deputies on the scene say the driver lost an arm and a leg in the wreck and was life flighted to a hospital.
Officers say the driver did not own the bike and he was wearing a helmet.>>>

I was a medic working medevac choppers for six years in the Army. If that doesn't give you a sick sense of humor, nothing will. It's a prerequisite for the job, I think...

I was going to say that sounded like something I would hear in the back of the ambulance. We do develop a "black" sense of humor.

I'm fat, pretty strong and move slowly, mainly because it's more comfortable and I'm rarely in a hurry.
My Roadie and I are a perfect match.
Doing 130 mph is a rush  , but doing 50 mph down a country road at dusk is just sooooo much better...
But that's just me.

It just goes to prove that although we all do stupid stuff some are just luckier than others. This young man is about to learn an awful lot about his own abilities to adapt to change.
