jermattak Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 thatnks everyone, i appreciate it, big thanks to nate, matt, and TJim at the hospital right now, im having surgury tomorrow morning, its going to be months till i can walk, they are keeping me overnight, im not sure how long ill be here, maybe saturday night too, who knowsive had tankslappers before on the gsxr, and cameout of them, the bars on the tard were going lock to lock, and you all know how big the handlebar is. And actually mello, the way you do it is you goose the throlle, bring pressure(not necesarilly the front whee up, just presure) and set you down straight, well i was cooking in the 4th gear.this blows, im gonna have to sit arounf at home all day for a very long time, they are talking screws in my foot, my jacket ripped at the elbow, and even though its decently tight fit, i have some rash on my side, my elbow, and a hige spot of rash on my lower bikeI do have more fun on dirt, but the street is just too dangerous, its not worth risking my life, motorcycles can ruin your life or kill you, i see an image of me limping everywhere like this guy i work with, for the rest of my life. this blows, that bike is great, i was miles ahead of everyone else, and i didnt even get off the bike. who wants it, im selling italrighty, well they are bout to roll me from er to my room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Ramey Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 ok i just got home. i was the one that found jerm on the side of the road. me and the new guy nate came around the turn/hill sorta thing and i saw a man pushing his hand up and down telling me to slow down. i figured there was probably a cop up ahead so i hit the brakes. when i looked back at the road i saw jerms bike on its side and him on the berm of the road. we immediately shut off the bikes and ran to him. he had slid about 100 ft before he stopped.i got him to lay down taking pressure of his leg. at first he thought his leg was broken. so i called 911 and stayed on the phone until the sherriff came. by that time tj had turned around (he was leading) and was with us. after about 5-10 min the ambulance showed up and they had to cut jerms boot off. they took him away and me and nate stayed with his bike until tj came back with the truck to tow it home.we rode over to mercy fairfield where he is at now. he is pretty doped up at this point for all those that know jerm, you know hes a good rider. do not think something like this cannot happen to you! we need to be safe out there guys. ive seen 7 wrecks in less than a year. ive been debating on whether to go track only and this was it for me. keep jerm in your prayers guys!edit: jerm got into a tank slapper x's 2 on the staying on the track ,2 of my buddys went down this year in front of my and one really bad last year....i lost a really good friend in 05 on shrock road by budwiser plant and the other lived wear your gear and ride safe... dress for the fall not the weather.

mrmako777 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 so $300 boots wont prevent your ankles from getting fked up? i guess depending on how you wreck plays a role in it, but yeah you would think they would have. im pretty sure tho it woulda been much worse without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DudeAbides Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Im sure he came out of it better with the $300 dollar boots than he would have a $60 pair of tennis shoes, he may not have minded them cutting the tennis shoes off his foot as much but thats beside the point.
