Broken right wrist, right side bruised right side from knee to ribs. The most pain across such a large area I have ever had. I hope those are life time dues. I also hope nobody else has to join either. Good Luck this season for all.

My bike was stalling out, and I pulled off onto a side street. I was trying to keep it throttled up and running when it got full power. The back end slid out and I laid it down. Besides a bruised hip and sprained thumb I was ok, but the bike I'm still working on getting it running again. My question would be could I honorably wear broken wings?

I believe you qualify for the Broken Wrench patch.

As far as "patches" ( We don't need no stinkin' patches ) is concerned the HD bent wings has always been associated with "crashing"
