KX500 Kickstart - damage control

<< < (9/10) > >>

I almost did the same thing myself once, but it was my own fat arse and an old fold up chair that just collapsed. ( just nicked the end of my finger as well) morale of the story- drunk fat arses and fold up chairs are not compatable. actually, thinking about it i haven't seen a fold up for a few years now.

Sideplater:
Thought I'd clock in and been a year now since the kickstart ripped my leg open. healing process went well and good as new apart from a nice looking scar .

( What happened to the gory pics that I posted of my leg ?)

Been out on the '04 recently but only for a brief ride as the weather was turning bad to worse so, back on the trailer looking for a ride maybe this weekend, be nice to see some sun   8-)

glad to hear there was no permenent damage. i had to replace my kicker 2 weeks ago the old one over rotated and my foot slipped off at full kick. it felt like it ripped the instep of my boot out. luckily it didnt, but left an instant black bruise from my instep up to my ankle joint. Sometimes its almost better to see a bit of blood just to confirm what you have just done to yourself. I had to pull my boot off have a look, hop around abit, put the boot back on, rotate the kicker back into position and then kick the bloody bike over again. :cry: 

Sideplater:
I know the feeling and you were lucky with only a bruise. That same night, when I had my lady pick me up from the hospital after the surgery I must have been a little delirious from the drugs, went out to the shed on my sticks to check the blood all over the the floor and promptly passed out. Lying on the floor, next to my perfectly innocent KX5 with my leg bleeding through the bandage she rung the hospital and they said it was due to low blood pressure due to blood loss.

First time I've passed out that way and my good lady managed to wake me and help me into bed. She's a good girl , for a math teacher that is :-)

wierdo:
Actually now that i think about it maybe a pool of blood being emptied out of my boot would probably have made me pass out as well. Shock is a sneaky little so and so, i work in a hospital and see it happen to people all the time. I've had flash back shock when I've seen some one else with a similar injury to what I've experienced ( i've had quite a lot of injuries ). Its probably what happened to you "Flash back Shock"...
