was fixing my bike all day today and trucked it to a friends house... after wrapping up the day and getting ready to grab some grub, we witnessed a rider go down right infront of the house my bike was at. around 10:15 PM, she must have taken the turn too fast and slipped on some gravel on the shoulder.. went between a telephone pole and tree no wider than the handle bars, and went across a residential driveway and down some outside steps before high-siding into the yard. she landed about 20 feet away from the saddle on her back, the bike had to have flipped and landed on its side, front end damage and windshield was smashed i believe.

i wish i could have gotten some pics, but that wasn't the priority at the scene. i called in to dispatch and ran down to her along with my friend and his dad, and the neighbors as well. homeowners also ran outside and we checked her ABC's while on the phone. she was unresponsive, but breathing with a pulse. myself and someone else that was there (with a steph and a bag not sure what his qualifications were) did a quick assessment.

her helmet definitely saved her, and thats what i wanted a picture of.. it had a huge gash along the side probably about 4 inches long and 2 wide. she had blood on her face and in her mouth but her airway was good. left the helmet on and waited for ems to arrive. i believe she was life flighted. she started moaning shortly after being loaded onto the stretcher.

ride safe guys.. pay attention at night and dont be in a rush. she was riding with her dad behind her.. honda shadow.









...oh, and my bike runs great now :hs:
