Took a nasty spill riding.

[ditchmud]

Went riding with some buddies in Southern, Oh. over the weekend and took a nasty spill. My front tire got caught in a rut that tossed me down a hill and onto a log. I was wearing riding boots and helmet along with other safety gear so my injuries could have been worse. The worse part was the 3 hour trail ride back to camp. After dealing with the pain for a couple of days I was finally convinced to go to the Emergency room. After some tests, an ultrasound and a cat scan all my organs are still in tact just gonna be sore for a bit.:cry:

With a bruise like that, I can't believe you are not peeing blood. Seriously. I had an old hardtail chopper when I first went in the service. If I didn't wear a kidney belt, and I was only about 150 lbs back then, a good 2 days of riding would result in the old bloody urine. Be very careful with that bruise there. If blood in the urine, try to gage the amount and if it doesn't reduce or stop in a day, go back to the hospital.

I've seen those before....one of my buddies tried to clear the grandstand doubles at a local track on his 400 arctic cat and his "crotchal" region landed square on the tank. He had that same bruise all across his pelvic area down is legs and a little up his abdomen....whew, I know that hurts.

[atctim]

WOW Rich - not good. Glad to hear you are OK. Get well soon!

[gus]

All I got to say is wtf how can you get a bruse that big lol? That looks like it really hurts but good thing for you protective gear

[Dirtcrasher]

Yeah don't mess around with an injury like that. You can easily bleed inside and won't know till your dead.....

When my CR250 throttle got stuck, I had that same bruising, so bad it was purple. And, it still hurts nearly12 years ago.....

[JasonB]

i keep looking at that; i cant imagine the stunned feeling right after that when you got up. Thats pretty hardcore!

[ditchmud]

I actually jumped right up from the wreck to check on my 350x and get it back on all 3 tires.........then I stood around for a while catching my breath.

[rjs89ia]

Ouch man, i also had a buddy have that happen to him, he said it was down his whole side and it turned his junk black lol. it happened about 4 or 5 years ago and even tho the bruisings gone it still gives him trouble from time to time. good luck with recovery tho thank god for the gear

[Jason125m]

WOW! Never seen a bruise that bad, glad you're alright man! Makes me want to go out and buy some more riding gear.....

[Big Mike]

BIG OUCH!!! Man, that sucks!!

[Swinger]

DAAAAAMMMNNN!! That sucks. Take it easy for a bit to make sure all is well. Hows the trike?

[tulsamike3434]

Thank the LORD your gonna be ok!!!!

[atc007]

What's the toll on the 350X Rich?

[whyzee]

wow...that is a really bad one. I had one like that down my entire leg from when the throttle stuck on my R. I had to go to the Hospital 3 times over the course of 2 months to do an ultrasound of the veins to make sure there was no clotting.
Be careful with that one as DC said.

[Chazz of Blades]

JEEZ! I've never saw bruising that bad, you're extremely lucky you didn't at least break ribs. Not to be mean, but be glad you weren't fifty pounds lighter or there wouldn't have been as much in between the important bits and the log.......

[300rman]

Holy Crap Rich! Thats no good at all! Glad you're ok man!

[tecat-z]

Dam Rich, that's a tough one! Hope you're well by the Circus...

[350XJEDI]

:mad:those ruts are killers , you got lucky ,gonna hurt for awhile ,:idea: good thing you wear safety gear or you would be a statistic ,take it easy and enjoy every minute , life is a gift !!!:cool:

[ditchmud]

The 350x came out of it with a broken clutch lever and a crack in my oem fender. I still rode the trails on it for 3 hours just to get back to camp.
I am feeling a little better today thanks to the vicodin I guess!

[keister]

Hey Rich...... SLOW DOWN!!
Just kidding. Glad to hear you are (realitively, at least) doing ok.

[Russell 350X]

Holy cow man!! That's nasty. Get well soon!

[Bryan Raffa]
