Well, I was riding a 3rd gear wheelie down the road, yes, on asphault, and you probably know where this is going, but I tipped backwards, I now have no skin on my right arm, knuckles, both palms of my hand, knees, elbows, and shoulders. Can't ride for a while, Hopefully I can ride by the 19th to come down to Aledo. Hope I start healing soon.

 

I've been there and feel your pain, still have scars on my back. I never was good at wheelies.

 

That is the reason I don't do wheelies intentionally[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] Look at the bright side, your still alive and didn't break anything. You better be healed by the trailer park nationals, you called some people out that want a piece of you now lol. Get well.

 

hope you get better adam

 

I did the same on my yz80 not only did I have road rash but a broke arm too. The doctor told me to keep the wounds covered or they will scar bad, road rash hurts worse than broken bones, I fell sorry for you. Get Well Soon.

 

bummer dude...

Hopefully you were wearing the helmet... If so did the helmet suffer a good hit when you land on your back? What kind of the helmet did you wear?

yeah road rash is the worse then broken bone.... I did that long time ago on a bicycle over my uncle house and road rash on my elbow area. It wasn't pretty at all.....

 

Sorry to hear about your crash Adam. Better put that rear brake in your pocket next time. How's my old Raptor after the crash?

 

Raptor's fine, just a scraped up grab bar, and the new endcap on my Yoshi muffler[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img] I need a new grab bar, specifically one that sticks out wayyy farther than my yoshi muffler. Any ideas? I was looking at a PRM desert grab bar, or baja.

 

Hope you feel better. As for the grab bar I would e-mail or call PRM and get the dimensions for both bars and then decide.

 

Buy a "6 Pack Rack" for the raptor...you wont go over very easily. It's saved me numerous times, and gives you and extra second or so to hit the rear brake.
