Crashing Sucks. Glad you are ok, prayers for rapid healing.
Holy crap!! Glad you're OK-ish, but it could have ended worse! I'd love to hear what propagated the tank slapper. Reminds me that the R-90's neck bearing repair has been put off tooooo long. Oh, and get a gallon of this while recouping.
Thanks everyone.
No Neosporin, wound care sent me home with tons of Xeroform (a petrolatum-based fine mesh gauze containing 3% bismuth tribromophenate) and Medihoney:
Wounds are healing well. The worst thing is putting that medihoney on when changing dressings every 2 days, it has a low ph so it BURNS for about 3 hours.
I still don't know exactly what caused the front wheel to start wobbling. I think I must have hit something small in the road that I didn't see.
Hey everyone.
Just wanted to leave an update.
Nearing the point to being healed. My calf and hands no longer have open wounds. My abdomen is very nearly completely closed up.
My elbow and knee still have a ways to go though.
My bike is going to the KTM dealer tomorrow to get the repair started. I think I'm just going to ask them to make sure the bike is mechanically OK, fix the ignition cylinder/imobilizer, and I'll fix the rest of the stuff myself to try to save some $.
Progressive paid out about $7100, $500 for gear (I destroyed about $2000 worth of gear though) and ~$1500 for my givi aluminium side cases & radar detector.
