Riding the yamaha..

[Jakobi]

Just another one of those reminders that riding is a dangerous pastime. While the EC300 was waiting for some new reed petals I took the 250F out for a weekend. It was singing along nicely sticking along with the 450's until one decided to launch a log out the back end..

Result shown below.. Stick impacted the chin bar, shattered and sent a shard through some rubber, into some foam, and finally ended up leaving a 5cm chunk in my neck/under my chin.. It was a steady ride out with the splinter still in situ and the helmet strapped on a mates back.

Damn, it is amazing how tough and fragile our bodies can be, you never know. Glad your ok, did you get a hot nurse to stitch you?

Yes you are very lucky...
I guess the Doc must of told you just how close you came to your carotid artery.
So I won't say anything.
Lucky?? I'd run out and buy a Lotto ticket.

Although you need to shave I recommend that next time you use something better than a dull stick.
