That being said... I'm damn lucky everything happened the way it did. If I had crashed hard at 15MPH, I certainly wouldn't have learned my lesson... I thought I learned my lesson at 75MPH... Only I guess stupid didn't hurt enough then...

After tasting pavement at a higher rate of speed... I respected the road and most of it's variables... After annihilating my kneecap at low speed... I respected the first thing I should have been respecting the whole time... the fucking machine itself.



I think stickied is appropriate given the circumstances...
Very true, the worst injuries I have sustained from motorcycle accidents have been in the low speed ones, busted my knee (got me kicked out of the Army) and busted two ribs.
