Stichill... No recollection of the event prior to waking up on the pavement with police and medics taking care of me. All info was told to me. I do remember clearly the male nurse assigned to clean the gravel out of my lips and gums. He was so afraid he was going to hurt me lol. I also remember trying to get around with a cast on my right hand and right leg at the same time. Being right handed it was nearly impossible to eat, get dressed, tie my left shoe, buckle my belt, zip my pants, use the bathroom, etc etc lol
Amazingly I told my mom I WAS going to quit riding ( because getting hurt, really HURTS) and she said to me " you know how much riding means to you. If you quit now, you will regret it the rest of your life" . So as soon as I was out of plaster I was buying a new bike. Been riding nearly every day ever since. MOm was right of course.
THanks Nemo.
Here's another fun thing about that... 5 years after the accident I went to work for the Honda dealer that I bought the CB 350 from.
