Crashed on Monday, be careful riding.
Hey guys, first I want to say to you thanks for answering most of my questions and all of the tech support I got here on the GG board.
With that said, I wanted to let you guys know that on Monday I crashed while riding and broke my back. I was riding down a long hard straight, and the bike quickly looped out on me. I couldn't get to the rear brake fast enough, and it was already too far over to stop it. I wound up crashing at about 40mph on rock hard limestone. I tumbled to a stop where I realized,, right then that I majorly broke something. After two days in the hospital, I came home with a back brace and a walker. I cannot work for 10 weeks, but I have insurance and my co workers are helping me out. I had on every piece of safety gear I could think of, and still roached my T12 vertebrae. 50% smashed. So, guys,, thanks again for a great ride. After 29 years of riding dirt bikes, I don't know whether I will be selling my bike but most likely I will be. Busted the bars, and tail section. Everything else is fine. PM me if you want a crashed '10 300.. Be safe out there, Bailey28
