does falling off a dirt bike at like 40+ multiple times count? including some that i actually tried to get up, then went right back down.


no broken bones yet thank God (knock on wood)

LOL, im too ashamed to take pictures of the damaged bike since i never got to take pictures of it in its new (used) condition.
I didnt get my ankle checked today since i couldnt get someone to take me up there. These oxycodone are way too crucial to be driving around on. I've got a lot more pains all over me than I had yesterday. My side hurts when i laugh. My back has a few aches, my wrist hurts a little, and my chest feels like someone poked me hard in it. I'm just gonna make sure i get checked out. I just realized today, I know this sounds stupid but, I just realized that i'm straight up fuckin human, and just because I felt ok one day, it doesnt mean i'm gonna feel that way tomorrow, because i've been in an accident. I'm treating this as if its something that happens to you (which it does. but not..) all the time for some reason. I should probably get myself checked from head to toe. I was just thinkin too, i keep saying in my story that next thing I know i'm draggin on the ground. My helmet had drag marks on the back, think its possible that just that jolt to the ground may have shook the ol' noggin, and for like a second, i may have been lacking full consciousness? I mean, everything seems to happen so fast, and before you know it, it's over. Now afterwords i'm just thinking one thing, I never ever ever want to hit that pavement again.

I think it was a mix of me giving it too much gas on cold tires and oil on the road. The area i pull out through has people frequently stopping there waiting to turn into the spot im pulling out of, so I can't see there NOT being any oil there. I still felt as though it was straight before i got on the gas, but it must have still had some lean to it.

And you always made fun of me for wearing my jacket when it was 100* outside! And I bet your ass won't ride without it anymore!
