The pavement punched me in the face today.
A Reminder to always wear a helmet.
I was leaning into a left hand corner when all the sudden I was flipped onto my right side, face first into the pavement.
not really sure what happened after that.
somehow i got back on the bike and rode home. (i don't remember how)
sat on the couch in my livingroom..........and forgot how i got there.
My dad happen to come over to my house, i told him about my memory loss.
we went to the hospital, i got a catscan, My brain seems to be fine now
I am very sore now, but it would have been way worse, if I did not have a helmet.

Please do.
This crash happened at low speed (under 25 mph).
But it happened in the blink of an eye.

Yes indeed. I still have no recall of the actual crash. But it had to have been a high-side.
There is no other explanation for landing face first on my right side while making a left hand corner.

I know. I see motorcycle riders every day with no helmets on.
When they passed the laws that made it legal to ride with no helmet, i thought most riders would still wear one.
My full face helmet really helped me out this time.

Re: The pavement punched me in the face today.
.....And for those of you who were wondering , but may have thought it was rude to ask, my scooter is just fine.
Only thing that happened to my 1987 elite was a scrape on the pipe and a busted front right blinker.

my helmets saved my life in a dirt bike crash..... didn't help save either elbow from snapping though
do any guys not wear a full face mask on the forum? are "just head" or "bowl top" helmets not considered feminine in your area?
