Rider down
Hoped I would never have to make one of these........
My roomate realized her longtime dream of getting her motorcycle license after sucessfully completing a MSF course last weekend. At 2 this afternoon we went to the DMV and got her Motorcycle endorsement she passed every test with 100....
We came home and she got onthebike she signed the papers on yesterdayand we went for a ride. Not sure what happened but shefailed to negotiate a curve, Hit a curb at about 20 and went *** over teakettle with the bike. Total ride distance about 2 miles.
She has a compund fracture and some pretty serious tendon damage in her wrist , there is a surgery scheduled for tommorrow to plate the bone and another for thursday for the tendons.Not much of a religious guy, But I believe there is someone out there, If you have a pretty good repoire with the man upsatairs , please put in a good word for Deb. Not only does she tolerate living with me and another dumbass , she does a whole lot of voulenteer work for various charities and is just generally a damned fine human being.
Bike needs about $1000 worth of junk , but I rode it home so it is fixable, now I have a project.......
one good thing, As they were scrubbung the roadrash, I aked if she was going to get back on....... Her response " Ill ride it home if you go get it" [sm=icon_beat.gif]
Told her all that morphine pretty much precluded that......

RE: Rider down
Wishing her a full recovery, and a continuing great attitude--sounds like she'll get back on and not let it scare her off. Getting roadrash scrubbed after only 2 miles--hell of a way to start out. Don't know if I would have had such a positive attitude. Those first few rides after MSF on your own bike are the steepest part of the curve for sure...but for...

Could have been worse, hoping for a speedy recovery. At least you will get to tinker around with her bike while shes laid up.
