get well soon man!!! Back in 09 I was heading west on 72nd between 1st and 2nd. My first Ducati, brand new 848 3 days old. About halfway down the block a towncar pulled a U turn right into me as if i wasnt even there. Got thrown across his hood and my bike landed right on top of me after flipping and flying over the car lol. Havent ridden a motorcycle in the city since other than to get the hell out during non rush hour times. My vespa on the other hand gets a ton of use on surface streets. The number of "close calls" ive had on my vespa that would have been horrible accidents on my ducati make me rethink even riding a vespa around with all these crazy cabs and horrible drivers

few years ago i was u-turned into on 14th st and i was far luckier than my totalled Foggy...the whole "sport" is a numbers game and invariably your number does come up....

i watched a doc last night on the Dunlop racing family and while both sons are still racing the father and his brother are both dead...it was certainly a fascinating doc on at very least obstinacy in the face of great risks....

too many idiots on the roads and too many variables....track is the only way to get your two-wheeled jollies off, if u must...

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SURGERY TODAY QQ -- SENDING YOU POSITIVE HEALING VIBES!
 
Wishing you a speedy recovery brother! Bikes can be replaced, lives cannot.
 
Awww.... hope you get better soon!
I just got recovered my injury after a hit-and-run accident.
 
while QQ is having an ORIF at Bellevue; we might as well pour out some more close call stories from NYC

a few yrs back I was bombing through midtown on one of the hardtail choppers that i built (in my 3rd floor walk up!) and was making a left hand turn onto 34 st and a cabby came up on my inside in the middle of the turn and his passenger side mirror clipped my left handle bar and but me into a tank slapper that I miraculously recovered from. I chased this dude all the way down into the west village before i had a chance to get off and give him a "whatfer"... bike was so over heated by then that the gear box wouldn't go into neutral so i stalled it and jumped off at a light before it changed. tried to smash the window on his side but only hurt my elbow (looks so easy in the movies) then I looked down and saw that his door lock was open! I proceeded to open said door and drag mr. cabby out and gave him a traffic lesson that he soon did not forget I am sure. then the bitch of it all is that I flooded the carb when I tried to kick it over to make an escape so I had to push the bike around the corner to get a hiding spot from john law and then made a clean getaway.

You're alive thats all that matters. Best wishes for a speedy recover. Mark and I lost a good friend this past Sunday too. Seems this was a VERY bad summer for bikes in general.

Everyone please ride safe out there.

Have you ever had the black and white cookies from William Greenberg? They rival historical religious figures for their healing power, haha.

Message me your address and I'll ensure home deliver healing via sugary baked goods.

actually sugar and gluten are the worst things to consume when recovering; in fact, avoid sugar in general.....send him an ORGANIC FRUIT AND NUT basket instead ....

If sugar is to be avoided that rules out fruit as well...

duh not quite...refined sugars in cookies vs fructose???? really ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ nice try pal!

i'll take it to another level now: avoid all refined and processed foods..... do you know how ph levels impact, say, cancers? or general health? well the sugar in a cookie actually kills your body, while the nutrients in a fruit heals you, in measure...

Had my Tibia broken and come through the skin when I tried to stand on my leg after a hit and run in 1989 on a Honda.

Friggin hurt like hell and took months to heal! The knitting of the bone took at least 6 weeks and I was in a cast for over 9 weeks. Full leg cast for 6 or so.

I can empathize completely with your situation!

Eat well, and lots of leafy green veggies! Lots of yogurt and plenty of good sleep, not booze filled evenings.

I hope you heal great and quickly!!

good advice! i suggested to QQ a lot of kale and such and quinoa which is high in both calcium and protein...i avoid all dairy tho (makes body too acidic etc)....and i also suggested he up his vitaminD consumption....
