600ZZ4eb Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 dude that sucks, but i hope you heal fast. I'd say fighter the bike, but thats only because i was thinking about doing to mine when i got a new bike in a couple years...outside that, i know you're on Kawiforums so your best bet would be to get with them on the parts.

Kent2406 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Kent' date=' what kind of armor is in that suit? I am surprised your elbow took such a beating. My Joe Rocket boots and textile pants saved my right leg when I smacked that fawn at ~60mph in WV a few weeks ago. I had a little bruising, but nothing got busted.[/quote']Actually, there wasn't a mark on the entire left arm of the jacket. By the looks of my left glove, I believe I tried to catch myself and jammed everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm glad you're ok. Great video.... looked like it hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Saw the doc today that's performing the surgery and he's 75% sure he's going to cut the top of the bone off and attach a prosthetic. He won't know for sure till he get's in there and looks at the pieces. Also, I had the bone wrong. It's the head of the radius that's shattered.

Kent2406 Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I'm glad you're ok. Great video.... looked like it hurt.Surprisingly, it never really hurt that bad and I'm the type that whines over a paper cut. I bet therapy's going to suck though.

Kent2406 Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 If you're saying I look like him, I wish I was him! That would be sweet! Imagine the ass he's pulling in! And I sure as hell wouldn't have been riding around on an 05 ZZR600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoR6 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 In that pic I think you look like him. Add a mohawk, goatee and some piercings...Try it. Act like you lost your voice, I could pass for your crackhead roadie (The roadie part would be tough, I already look like a crackhead.)I seen this thread a few days ago, but was running late and couldn't look up a video. I've had their cover of "King of pain" stuck in my head since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMax33 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 The officer didn't site you because you were only going 45mph at the time of your crash. At least that was my best guess when he asked me anyways:) Then he called me the next day to get your cell number but I told him that I just met that bum on the day of the crash. Just kidding. I hope you lose weight on the hospital food because I had a Hell of a time picking your ass up. Get well soon brother... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent2406 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Haha! You're funny! I'm about 190 nekid, with gear, I'm sure I was pretty heavy. Unfortunately, I received a phone call today from the wonderful officer, let's me know a "failure to control" ticket is in the mail. Tells me the ambulance left the scene before he had the opportunity to finish his paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd send that state trooper a note saying I failed to maintain control of my pecker when I met his wife for the first time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Video turned out well, but I'd much rather have gotten one of us on OH-260 than this That was such a weird crash - relatively slow speed, and just right off. Really makes me think about how important it is to maintain a constant focus.Glad you're ok, but sorry to hear about the potential for some pretty major surgery.Heal up and take care.

Kent2406 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Yeah, I just screwed up and did exactly what you're not suppose to do. Once I looked at the grass, it was all over.Anyway, I'm currently trying to edit what footage I did get but it has a lot of boring stuff. As soon as I'm done hacking it, I'll post it in your original ride thread. This ride, definitely not all that technical, is however, the ride that took me out so I've already decided that when I'm back up and running, it will be my first ride back out on the bike, just so I can finish what I started. Depending on my heal time, may not be this year, but it will get done. Hopefully I can get you guys to go with me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent2406 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well how are you doin as of today man? Feeling any better yet?Well, I was doing better a few days ago. Doesn't seem like the swelling is going down, if anything it feels like it's getting worse. All the drugs they had me loaded up on, has worn off, making my arm very uncomfortable. No pain, just annoying. The rest of my upper body is pretty sore and bruising. Other than that, I'm doing pretty good.Here's a couple pictures of my fingers. You can see how swollen they are.
