Nose is broke in multiple places. Right side of my face is fractured in 25 places. Two black eyes. Neck and shoulders hurt. Was knocked out. Have to go see a face surgeon on Monday.

Damn man, glad you are alive! Please don't take offense, but I have to ask if you were wearing a helmet?

Gotta love helmets for probably saving your life!
I hope you're all right, what happened?
I can't really remember. I think I missed a turn and ran off the road. I've traveled it lots but I guess that's what happened.

Glad you're alive, Jesse. You must've hit hard, when I read your injuries in the OP I figured you were without a helmet, too.

Thanks yall. I'm praying for no surgery.

If I'm allowed to keep it I'll probably do the naked swap.

Jesse, so you missed a turn, eh? Sounds like what I did a few years ago. I guess you might call it "lazy attention" because it wasn't as if I wasn't aware of the turn radius---I could have easily navigated the turn (two-lane mountain highway) but didn't take it seriously enough and my front tire suddenly ended up on the non-paved shoulder and I had to emergency maneuver myself out of the pickle and try to keep control. I bounced violently around on the rocky/soft dirt shoulder but, fortunately, managed to come to a stop w/o crashing. It took a huge effort for me to keep the bike upright . But, while my body was bouncing around on the FZ6 seat (He-Haw rodeo!), my mid-torso slammed against the gas tank and dented it in somewhat (one has to look for the indentation---not real obvious).

Sounds like you had a handful but glad to hear you kept it together. Thinking back on the night I think the two things that contributes to this was lack of focus and the dark shield that I was using to ride ar night.
