Terror On Two Wheels
I thought the general idea was to stay on the bike?
Try being the operative word, yes. Even World Champions fail trying to stay on, so the rest of us mere mortals, it's par for the course.
Two kinds of riders, those that have crashed, and those that will.
Tony, wild stuff, and a major bummer. There's no rhyme or reason to it, but you seem to be taking it well. A year and a half ago, I crashed my R1 in turn 2 at Fontana going over 150mph, and all I did was break both of my pinkies (needed three pins in each hand) and the bike needed less than $500 to be rideable again.
It's not even funny how many times I've seen people get hurt a lot worse doing a lot less.
My last crash in August, I broke my hand (only two pins this time). While I was in the ER waiting to get X-Rays, some 24 year old girl was taking a shower, slipped, and broke her neck. She's going to be a quadrapalegic.
I wreck on track at 150 and pretty much walk away, she takes a shower and is a quad. You just gotta live your life, because shit can happen no matter what you do.
