um, 1978 ... early June ... new Ducati 860GT ... pissed off at my brother ... going just a mite too fast on a quiet backwoods road ... stop sign came up fast ... hit front brake on sandy stuff ... it spit me off like a watermelon seed. Picked myself up: Broken collarbone, bike on the ground with a peg broken off, bent handlebars. Nothing terrible.
I reached down with my good arm and picked the motorcycle back up onto its wheels ... pushed it a quarter mile to my friend's house ... amazing what adrenaline can do ... asked for a ride to the emergency room when I got there. The pain killers were good that evening. Xray looked about the same. epilog: four months later, collarbone wouldn't heal. Had to have surgery and bone graft to put it back together. Ducati fixed and had been riding with figure eight brace for a month and a half ... Ah youth. G On Oct 13, 2007, at 8:11 AM, P. J. Alling wrote: > You tried to walk that off???
