Accidents suck, no matter how small. Sorry to hear about your mishap. Thanks for sharing your story so others can watch out for diesel spills as best we can.

There are just so many things out there waiting to take us out. Heal fast and heal completely. Prayers sent.

Thanks for sharing the circumstances as a reminder to all of us.
Prayers inbound for good decisions and proper technique by the docs and if you have to go to therapy, get the HOTTEST trainer you can get - it's tougher going through rehab pain for anything less.

All best wishes for a quick recovery. And many thanks for sharing the circumstances of the incident so all on this board can learn from it. Take good care.

Wishing you a speedy recovery as well. It hurt me just reading your account.

Now the buzz kill - manage your use of pain medications very carefully brother.

I am enjoying them! Carefully being sure not to addicted. Been there, Done that, Got the TAT!

Sorry about your situation. When I was 17, I was going around a very sharp turn up in Indy near the track. It's a turn I had beenon many times when all of a sudden the bike (1981 Silverwing Interstate) slammed to the road and slid 15 feet on the saddlebags. Not one scratch on the bags. The road is right atthe entrance to a Marathon oil depot. I started my senior year in high school in a knee brace and on crutches.

BTW, I'm down in Elizabethtown.

Maybe we can meet up some time. Have you had any dealings with Dan Powers?
Have you been to the Tail of the Dragon?

The surgeon I saw yesterday in one I have seen before in the ER. The first words out og his mouth, "We have to stop meeting like this!"

The opinion he and his partners came up with was the ankle is still too swollen and angry looking to do surgery on for at least a week.
So I go back next Monday for a exam and then maybe surgery next Tuesday.

I cannot put weight on this ankle, even after surgery for six to eight weeks. Might have to do a trike conversion.

Yep, definitely.

I bought my bike from Dan Powers.
It was the first F6B he sold. I live not even 2 miles from there..

I've been to the Dragon many times. Have been there 3 times this year so far and will be in the area again next month for a Fall Color Ride put on by one of the guys on the VRCC.
