V4junkie Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Glad you're ok bro, that pic of your knee made my stomach all funny. Excessive tire pressure causes a lack of feeling and grip in my experience. I would check the sidewall for recommended pressure. That was probably a big factor in the wreck, but who knows.Heal up quick and get that Trumpet back to it's former glory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 glad you're ok man. i'd say that there is a possibility that the pressure might have been a little too high and that caused some problem. you said it had a leak but it was at 34psi after you rode 10 miles prior to the wreck. so how much did you put in it before you started riding?back tire said 42psi...I put that much in when I left my house, and rode about 20 miles with a passenger, then dropped her off, by then it had 36 psi, rode another 10, wrecked, rode 10 back and checked it and it was 34. My bad on saying I had low pressure I's a bit mixed up yesterday. Too high pressure didn't help anything.Just for the record' date=' do you concur that applying throttle during a tank slap is the correct remedy? I remember a certain scooter rider giving me guff for defending that position a while back.[/quote']It worked for me....as soon as I goosed it, the bars stopped swinging around....if that damn driveway hadn't been there I'd be fine.

AOW Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 glad you're ok and had most of your gear on. You may want to invest in some leg armor to wear under your jeans in the future. I have the Icon leg armor and think they're quite comfortable for those days you just don't feel like getting completely suited up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGrose Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Shitty.... Sorry to see your beauty in such a condition. If that happened to mine I would probably throw a blanket over it and put it in the corner of the garage where I don't have to see it. But if you decide not to fix her up, I know where you can get a black 07...lol. Get well soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 glad you and the bike are fine for the most part. What part of Hueston woods were you in?I was on the way there...near 35/eaton.Nick, they were worried that the wound was around the bottom edge of my kneecap, and if it was I'd have to go into surgery to get it cleaned out. What they did was stick the needle under my kneecap and inject saline in to see if it squirted out the wound. Luckily it didn't felt like my leg was gonna explode Tgrose I'll trade ya :D And that Knee armor looks dang nice I'll be getting some.Didn't do much walking today, just to the bathroom. I havn't been downstairs since I got home from the hospital sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even watch other people get a shot with out a little cringe. Going to the Dentist...:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:!!!!!!!!!And those medical shows on TV? Yea, hate that too. There is a good reason I'm not in the medical field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
