I would have cuffed you to the truck after you second trip to the bike!, lol Glad your alright man, sounds like one helluva crash. Pretty lucky everyone who helped you was a biker too. Post some pics of the bike once you get it back!

Definitely glad you are around to write that up. Have to admit I was busting up reading the part about the way you kept going back pulling on the bike. That would be me as well.

Hang in there, thanks for sharing the story.

What a story. Tragic but told in a funny way. Glad you included a pic of your busted up face to keep some idiot from saying, "No offense, but if it really happened like you said it did..."

You live to ride another day!

Wow, what a story. Thanks for putting it to words while it's still fresh and despite the pain and drugs. Great read. Good luck with the bike and keep us posted.

Ditto what the others have said-well written and entertaining account of a real bad day. Glad you came out of it no worse than you did. Bikes can be fixed.

Very good read , too bad about the story line . You're one lucky man though . That truck and help showed up pretty quick for you . As others said , you look pretty good for a face plant in the rocks . I hope your bike survived as well and that you're back in the saddle again soon .

I'm thinking you probably didn't look all that much better before the wreck!
