I was about 2 months into owning it. I challenged my warehouse manager to drag race, him in his truck and me on my Honda. We were on a quarter-mile access road. Then we began. I was ahead of him towards the end, looked back at him, and somehow my arms turned my bike left. Just as I saw where I was headed I tried to stop. I dropped my bike at about 40 mph and unfortunately it was on a bumpy gravel type surface. I hit it on my left elbow and rolled over I don't know how many times. I was so in shock there was little pain. My pal told me to drive his truck home and he'd take care of my bike. He asked me to try and not bleed on his interior. I made it home, about 3/4 mile from there, and ran into my house. My wife was a R.N. I said "what'll I do?" She said "let's go to the hospital". I said I didn't want to do that 'cause I hate hospitals. I was bleeding like a stuck pig, and now it was hurting large. So she said that she could handle it...maybe. I had a bottle of scotch, and slammed about 2/3 of it in about 20 minutes. Then she made a large container of Tide and water, and told me that if I'd put my elbow into it that it may work. It did. My bones were not broken, and the pain and scar have almost disappeared. The memory of that hasn't, along with my advice to all I love to not ride them. We are more fragile than we think IMO. Sioux
