Darqman and His New Harley ..... Bad Accident

[Quarlow]

Wow just read this. So sorry to hear about this Darqman. But I am so glad you are alive. I have gone to too many bike riders funerals in the last 6 years since all the guys at work got into riding. Glad yours isn't one. Get well soon. I know your pain as you may have heard about my shoulder. Heres to your speedy recovery.

UPDATE:

Talk to Steve this afternoon and it sounded like his meds are working! ;D

He told me that everyday he is a little more sore than the day before.

He is re-thinking his time line of staying with his parents and thinks he

will be there longer than he orig thought.

Thanks for the update.

[DarqMan]

Thank you all for the prayers and the get well wishes.  This forum has the best group of folks!

I'm at home now and just wanted to make a quick reply to thank you all for thinking of me.  The wounds will heal and I will ride again, BUT... I WILL be wearing a helmet from now on.  I was so lucky I didn't crack my skull open.  The emergency room doctor reminded me of this fact every stitch he put in!  I have pics and stories but they would just ruin everyone's appetite for BBQ (ask CRG, they're ugly) so I won't get into the ugly details.

it feels good to have friends like you that care.  Thank you all.

Steve

Good to see you feeling a little better.

Call if you need anything!

[DTAggie]

Steve - so glad you did not crack that skull open.  Wishing you the best!

Glad to hear you're on the mend...

When you're ready, I suggest one of those geeky-looking "cop" helmets (the ones that look like an upside-down bowl).
On a hot day, they don't build up as much heat (passing out from heat ain't a good idea rolling on 2 wheels).
Also, with "full" helments, if you land just right, the back bottom can break your neck (and that ain't good either).
Awrighten.

Glad to hear you are home.

[FLBentRider]

I'm glad to hear you're home.

Steve, we're gonna get you something with a little more protection then a helmet...

[BuyLowSellHigh]

Glad you're recovering and can enjoy the benefits of modern medicinal chemistry (i.e., drugs).  Helmets are a pain but, in my opinion, a must.  If it weren't for a helmet I wouldn't be sitting here typing this.  In a very similar type of accident (hit a deer on a bike when I was  doing 60 mph) the helmet definitely saved my life.

Get well soon !
