WEAR A HELMET!

I had just picked up my husband after work and we were driving home. I had to pull over to let an ambulance by, and it stopped about half a block in front of us. We see one of my husband's co-workers - a motorcycle rider, standing there. Next to him is our friend and my husband's co-worker laying on the sidewalk! His bike - a new Harley - was there also, but both bikes were upright. We didn't know if a car pulled out on him or what? I pulled into the next side street and parked the car, and we ran a half block down to them. There was oil on the road, and our friend must have gave his bike some gas to go up the incline and fish-tailed. His bike went out from under him, and he went sliding into the curb and whacked his head off of it. THANK GOD he had on his helmet! He was only going about 30 mph in city traffic, but he got some nice road rash on his knee,the back of his hand, forearm, and shoulder. We don't know if that's his only injuries or not, but it's all we could see. I think he might have a concussion, but we don't know if there's any further damage. He was in pain and upset about the whole thing. As he laid there trying to look at the damages on his body, his one thought was... "I got a gig this weekend!" Friggin musicians! lol! They took him off to the ER, and the other co-worker drove his bike over into a parking lot to get it off the street. We came home and called the HD dealer to come and pick it up because it needed a doctor of it's own, and we wanted it to be safe. After we went back to the lot and met the HD guy and got the bike sorted, we went to the ER. Of course they wouldn't let us in because we're not family :-/ By that time his girlfriend was there, so he had somebody with him. We just didn't want him to be alone. We had the security guy relay some info, and dude said he'll call us later after they do whatever they have to do with him.

That was a pretty good scrape on his helmet. If he wouldn't have been wearing it, I'd prolly be telling you I just saw our friend die.

Bottom line is - you don't have to be going fast to be killed on a bike. That whole "I don't wear a helmet because I don't want to be a vegetable" argument don't mean shit to your family if they're burying you over an accident that happened going 30 mph. Sure, if yer going 55 things are gonna be harsher, but this just goes to show - HELMETS SAVE LIVES!

Axe - great interview link, thanks.

Mystical Robot :-

When I first started getting serious about playing I would record myself every time I'd pick up the guitar. Weeks and sometimes months later I'd listen back to them and I could then hear what I'd improved on and what needed more work.

Eventually,this approach help me develop my "ear" and become more aware of what I needed to do without having to record it,although I still record myself if I come up with a cool riff or nice melodic run just so I can reference it in the future.Hope this helps.

scubz, lessons like that should only take one time to learn. Good boy! Our friend has a fractured wrist. He has to see a different doc tomorrow about it. They put a cast on it today. Can't imagine how that feels with no skin on the back of yer hand and yer forearm. Geez man! He says he's done with the bike. He has to kids under 6 that he has custody of. Can't F that up for the youngin's!

Damn, I'm tired! I shouldn't have Jager so close to bed. It just makes me wanna stay up and have fun and say F work...well in all honestly I say F work anyways, but I digress...

Peppers

Gad damn chelle, he had a VERY close call. Too right he's puttin the bike away NOW before anything else happens. Glad he's gonna be okay, but feck sake, fer you and Dave to come upon that and know who got hurt...can't imagine yer panic levels!! Sorry babbie. But an okay ending to that particular story.

I'm still breaking out in smiles when I think about the trip...good memories and some truly gut-bustin moments goin on....what happens in Atlantic City...well hell, can't ALL stay in Atlantic City cuz what's the fun in THAT!! LOL!!
