In a motorcycle accident

[CDarthvader]

Hey everyone, Incase anybody was wondering where i was at over the last week i've been in Critical Condition at UT hospital. On mothers day I was riding my motorcycle and a tractor trailer pulled out in front of me. The truck driver pulled out in front of me, couldn't stop so i hit in the back 2 axles of the truck motorcycle jumped backwards i rolled forward under the truck and hit the axles again and rolled forward into the parking lot. The truck drivier drove off, but came back 10 mins later. He was going from one gas station to the other and had all 4 lanes of traffic blocked. The witnesses behind me said there was nothing i could do and that if i would have been on anything else it probly would have hurt me alot worse then it did.

I was in ICU from sunday to friday with a lacerated spleen. Luckily it healed itself and they didn't have to do surgery. Right now i'm at home, I have 5 broken ribs, My back hurts, alot of road rash, a large cut on the bottom of my left foot that no one knows how it got there lol. ANyway I'll post when i can, Hope to catch ya'll later.

omg...glad you're OK man, that must have been scary
:(
I really wish truck drivers were more responsible, they just seem like every other driver on the road, with a care free attitude...
Hope you get better soon!!!!

[trdmkii]

ouch.....that sucks man glad to hear you are alive and doing ok.

[supra_toy]

Glad your alive. ICU is not a fun place to be I know too...

Dosen't sound like any thing that won't heal.

Rest and get well soon
&
better living through chemistry

will

[williamb82]

man, that sucks. glad your ok. hope that driver looses his license.

[zank]

dang, its good to hear you made it out alive :shock:

Good luck and I hope you recover soon

[CDarthvader]

Driver will probly never drive anything again. Were going to get the company he works for to pay all the medical bills, pain and suffering, Plus some so we may have some money for a new project :lol:

[84_celicasupra]

yes get well soon, thoes damn truck drivers piss me off somethimes :mad:

[Crash]

Yeah, just focus on getting better, you'll need the energy dealing with the company, and the insurance company, they're real pains in the arse. Oh, if possible, don't settle right away, let everything drag out a little bit, gives you more pain and suffering time. I found that out the hard way when I settled too fast and got next to nothing for an accident that will affect me every day for the rest of my life. Stupid bad back...

[pdupler]

Plus some so we may have some money for a new project :lol:

Hell of a way to get money for Supras :titanic: but glad you are still in one piece.

Glad to hear that you're OK. Seems like everyone that rides these days gets knocked off at one time or another. Mine was a lady making a left-hand turn and wiating until I got there...

Keep up the good attitude and don't forget the neck brace when you show up for the court date ;)

[rsdeo]

Glad to hear you are at home, out of ICU and resting. Get well soon.

[Frank_MA61]

Holy shit. Considering how bad it could have been, Im glad to hear you're doing so good.

Hope you have a speedy recovery man.

[Racefiend]

Glad to see you made it out relatively well, considering. Sounds like you should make a full recovery right?

Everytime I think of getting a bike something like this convinces me not to.

[AJ]

CD, hey bud glad your AOK!! Here's to geting back to driving your Supra really soon!!

[Push]

Very glad your okay. Hope everything goes well for you in the future.

[Supra GTR]

Good to see you post.

Yeah, I gave up my bike after only one season of doing too many superman impersonations with the bike wiping out from underneath me. Figured I'd give it up especailly after most of my friends told me to quit the "angel-makers"

But good to know that heaven doesn't need you right away!

Regards,
James R

[williamb82]

Very sorry to hear about your accident. Sounds like you will have a full recovery, despite what sounds like a very dangerous accident. This is a great bunch of people, as I am sure you know. Take care.

(Mike, you got a Ducati 929 or something similar?)

[Junkie]

My apaolgies....forget to wish CD a speedy recovery.Never been down in a bad way on any of the bikes I owned.....good equipment helps.


Mike---what did you get? Been looking again myself.....But,I'm going Milwaulkee Vibrator again.....if you have to ask,you'll never understand :wink:

[williamb82]

shawn, my guess is a vtwin, prolly of the harley origin. not sure where they are made in the us though.

[Junkie]

William,my "if I have to explain" comment is about V-twins in general :wink:
Let's just say,my bikes were better chick magnets than ANY OTHER vehicle I owned.I think I still have a few knots in my head from the wife smacking me.....because some tramp :roll: heard the bike,and VERY quickly turned around,thumb out,trying to get a ride,while she was on the back :P

I'll probably be going softail custom,or a wide glide.Partner of mine has a softail,96ci....going 108ci w/NOS next winter,if all goes as planned :twisted: because we can :!:
