Popular Post tall_tracy Posted June 6, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Just over 4 days, a little more than 1300 miles, 4 states, & 2 countries. 4 women, 2 Ducati Monsters, 1 Yamaha R6, & 1 Silverado carrying a Supermoto and all the rest of our gear. Unfortunately our trip contained a crash not long after we crossed into Canada from MI, and after a 5 hour delay at a hospital we continued on without our injured rider. Luckily she only suffered broken bones and road rash... it could have been much worse - the whole thing happened almost right next to me and was very surreal. Once we arrived at the event, there were bikes everywhere at the campground (all kinds from old Royal Enfields to BMW GS1200s to Triumph Scrambers to Harley cruisers and a few supersports). There were 550 women that arrived for a weekend of camping, free drinks, karaoke, live bands and some really beautiful riding thru the Catskills of NY. The weekend was perfect for riding, until Sunday when we left for home. We left early trying to beat a storm, but still hit downpours thru PA that soaked us completely thru our raingear, so we had to stop to dry out and wait for the storm to pass. This was an epic journey for me as I've never taken a motorcycle trip, let alone go camping, all with women I'd never met in person either. I had such a great time meeting women riders from different states and going on my first all women group ride (there were 15 of us)! It was a blast and I hope to go back. And, yes there were lesbians there... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tracy Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 We did meet a hot Provincial Police Office (Canada's version of a state cop) after the crash. His hotness along with the fact that he was swearing in front of us helped all of us deal with the shock of the accident. But I'm guessing none of you guys care about that... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the one that arrested me for under age drinking they are usually pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was laid back and not a dick like cops here can be, which was helpful given what had just transpired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought but just because of my own experience on my R6. The R6 was involved in the wreck - not sure if a full mirror check was done before merging to the left lane combined with a kid in a pickup that apparently sped up to play bumper cars with the Yamaha - it all happened just over my left shoulder as she was behind the Ducs apparently trying to help us merge & stay together after construction/closed left lane. Luckily the R6 bucked her off on impact or she may have ended up under the front tire of the truck - so I'm told. Broken wrist & elbow, other wrist sprained, fractured pelvis were the worst of it.

ScubaCinci Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Ouch, fractured pelvis is pretty serious depending on where it is. My wife broke her pelvis in a bike accident, it was a long recovery which included an extended stay at a rehab facility, time in a wheelchair, and a metal plate to hold things together. The pelvic specialist that treated her said a broken pelvis is often fatal because the edge of the broken bones can cut the major arteries running through there and the victim dies from internal bleeding. After I heard that I felt like an ass being on the phone with the insurance company while she was laying on the pavement with the EMT's rather than being right there with her.

Oh wow, how awful for your wife. From what I remember it's a hairline fracture - she was able to go home back in the states that evening.

That sucks. but mistakes happen. Only thing to be done now is learn and not repeat. Seems like the rest of the trip went well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 One thing I want to know is how did you deal with wind noise for 1300 miles? It would kill me by 130 miles. Might be time for a new helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
