Yesterday I just got inducted.
To all you riders out there, I got a question for ya....
How long does it take to heal? Stings like a sonofabictch! I was riding downtown to get some lunch when my front tire jammed in one of those d*** trolley tracks. It twisted my bike to the left, threw me to the right. Sliding across the pavement took off both of my shoes and all the skin off both forearms.
I've ridden across those tracks a million times... Can't imagine what I did different this time. If this (God forbid) ever happens to one of you guys, don't the doc when he says peroxide won't hurt. Imagine picking up a lit BBQ grill with your inner arms. OUCH!
My gun is prettier than yours, and it's a Glock!

I sideswiped a Jersey barrier once at about 70mph and couldn't get off of it. Must've rubbed along that thing for several hundred yards. Never did go down and didn't do much damage to the bike but it broke my left knee, ripped off my pants leg and my shoe and ground about 50 pounds of hide off my entire left leg. Black, blue and yellow for several weeks with some world-class scabs.

I am still sore but getting better. The rash still is a pain in the butt, but is okay.
Looking back i was pretty darn lucky. I didn't hit my head and tear up my face. My shoes ripped in half, right around the togue when I hit the pavement. The skin is gone from my forearms and lower palms, so typing is slow going.
It's kinda weird, I try and type and my hand feels really lazy. Feels just like bruised muscle.
It's okay. All will be better in the AM!
