Anden Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Took a guy from work out today. Novice rider failed to negotiate corner and put bike in ditch. Bike up ended and landed on him. Sheriff was called and was extremely nice about the situation. Wasn't going to fill out a report unless needed for insurance, otherwise buddy would have gotten ticketed. So we ride up to pull off give his bike a good once over. He wanted to continue I was calling it off. Decided we would go into Sidney for water and a quick rest and reassess the plan. Get maybe 100yds and he isn't riding right. Very slow and center of the road. He managed to get off to the side and stopped just barely though. I hop off my bike and run up to him and he states "I'm blacking out." And bam snoring. At this point I'm on the verge of a panic myself. Call squad and have them come out no choice for him now. He wakes up enough to get his helmet off and back to sleep again. Slept till squad arrived. They cart him to Wilson in sidney.Now I have two bikes and no help cause its Saturday. After going through the list I get another from work with a truck and my brother out there to help load the bike. We videoed loading but no follies. We get the bike to his house and unload before they get back from hospital. Just encased we drop it. Videoed that also, no follies.Buddy that crashed is fine. Hospital had him home around 1:30 2:00. Cat scan and mri. All is well still feel real bad about it because I chose the route. River rd out side of sidney didn't make it past the tracks. So I'm looking go a headlight assembly for an 06 shadow and a wind screen and possibly some crash bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Nice to hear all turned out okay, how old is he? Like the expectant video tapping part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yikes. I almost lost it a couple of times last week on the group ride.... Each time I almost lose it and don't let's me know I'm trying too hard...It's one thing to push the comfort level, it's another to try and take it too far Sounds like no permanent damage (to bike or rider) so let's hope it all turns out okay.

Monstrosity Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Have your buddy look into Syncope or Pre Syncope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 crazy! Hope he is ok. For the bike parts, Fleabay is probably your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Sorry to hear about his crash, and hope all is well. As far as the bikes goes it sounds to me like you are blaming yourself, why is that, he was the one riding and should not have pushed his own limits, even if it ment losing the pack. So why are you worried about fixxing his bike? What is the deal with taking video? Are you afraid of getting sued of something? Sorry im just not understanding some of the events of all this, school me??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many bike loading, unloading fail videos can you find.Not afraid of getting sued, my help and I can still be dicks even while helping out. We all work together. Good times.

Good times.OK..i thought maybe the video was to cover your ass for some reason, and props for helping your buddy get the bike back on the road. The way i read it the first time i thought you were doing it because you felt obligated. thanks for the perception adjustment:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1234 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I originally thought the video was to prove that the bike was properly loaded and unloaded, in case it was hurt from the crash, his ass would be covered that he didn't jack it up during the transfer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anden Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Fellow from this tale stopped me on my way out of work this morning. Not seven months after his off, and not eight months after getting licensed. Traded for a goldwing. I hope for the best but when you can't negotiate a turn on your small bike how the Hell will he do it on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
