ouch...

KJohnson21 · October 26th, 2011, 05:29 AM

I was going to meet the guys for dinner and this damn SUV changes lanes in front of me and STOPS!! I went over the handlebars and ended up laying flat on my back over the curb, with my hips on the sidewalk and my head in the street. I cautiously tried to move, but it didn't feel good, so I stayed flat and waited for help. Plenty of people stopped, called 911, etc. Thank goodness! Paras showed up quickly and did all the right things. The police had plenty of witnesses that all agreed with what I told them, so at least I don't have that to worry about. I got carried off to the hospital, they poked and prodded me, and that's where I'm at now.

When I was laying on the ground I used my helmet BlueTooth to call my wife and she called the guys who're waiting for me. They simply followed the sirens and found me at the scene. Later on Havok got his truck and took my bike to his garage. (Thank you Jeff!!!)

Sorry about the mishap. Hope things will turn out good for you & there's nothing serious.

Alex · October 26th, 2011, 05:50 AM

Youch! Sorry to hear this, Ken!

ManyCavies · October 26th, 2011, 06:07 AM

I want to thank you guys, Jeff, Kevin and Max !! You keep me informed and stayed with him. I Love You Guys!! And Sharon, thanks for everything, you helped me stay calm from so many miles away and got the answer to what I was fearing. <3 I will be there soon!

Cazper · October 26th, 2011, 06:25 AM

Yikes! Keep us informed and get well soon. How did the bike fare?

choneofakind · October 26th, 2011, 07:23 AM

Good thinking not moving!! now we can officially say bluetooth saves lives

seriously though, it's good that you're ok. I dislike the crash threads.

akima · October 26th, 2011, 08:15 AM

That's so horrible Ken. I hope you don't have any serious injuries.

Glad you've got good friends to help you out.

What was the SUV driver trying to do? The way you described it, almost makes it sound deliberate.

massacremasses · October 26th, 2011, 08:30 AM

Damn dude. Get better! sorry that happened

Live2ride · October 26th, 2011, 08:36 AM

Great thinking using the bluetooth to call the wife! Better for her to hear it from you immediately than another person down the line trying to explain what happened. I hope you have a speedy recovery from any of your injuries. Good luck; we're rooting for you!

Cuongism · October 26th, 2011, 08:42 AM

I hope you're ok Ken! Keep us informed on how everything is going and definitely let us know if there's anything you need at all.

I'm pretty sure they did a , "Oh look, there's our restaurant!" But they told the officer that they "heard sirens", yeah right.

Thanks for the support everyone! I'll keep you updated as things change.

oh they heard sirens....

after you slammed into them... ****ing people not paying attention...

Kevin2109 · October 26th, 2011, 09:02 AM

When I got there I went and talked to the main witness, hes say "dont worry your dad did nothing wrong, its not your fault"

I chuckled and said thank you, hes not my dad but im very glad hes ok and you saw what happened

GeneJunkie · October 26th, 2011, 09:03 AM

OMG! Sending my prayers for a speedy recovery.

alex.s · October 26th, 2011, 09:06 AM

i'm so sorry to hear this ken. i hope you're alright! let us know if there's anything we can do, i'm sure we're all waiting with spare parts, free labor and bad jokes

It's not like "heard sirens" is a good excuse anyway! You're not supposed to cut someone up and slam on your breaks if you hear sirens - that's ridiculous! You should be prompt, but not dangerous. No good quickly creating a path for an ambulance or fire-engine get through to help people if in the act of doing so you're just gonna create another accident.

lucky to have witnesses. sounds like you're ok.

Trailerboy531 · October 26th, 2011, 12:03 PM

Only you would post this while in the hospital Ken

Glad you're turning out okay! A little soreness is the best we can ask for given what happened! You'll be up and running in no time

By the way people he was ONE BLOCK away from where he was supposed to meet us, so close!

and also, Crissy, Gurk was there waiting with us too

massacremasses · October 26th, 2011, 01:22 PM

the thing I think is awesome is he had a group of riding buddies super willing to help him out. Thats awesome to me...

KJohnson21 · October 26th, 2011, 06:59 PM

They've determined that I have a hair-line fracture on my pelvis. Cannot eat or drink until the condition stablizes.

Lou · October 26th, 2011, 07:05 PM

Sorry to hear about your mishap, how bad is a hair line crack and what do they do to fix it???

You had just done a techday too, hope your bike is ok!!!

nickjpass · October 26th, 2011, 07:10 PM

I feel so bad for you! Get better soon!!

RedCromwell · October 26th, 2011, 07:16 PM

Pretty scary how things go bad so quickly. A simple ride to dinner turns into an ER visit.

Hope you heal up quick and get back to riding!

There is nothing much they would do for a pelvic fracture, let alone a hairline fx.

Havok · October 26th, 2011, 08:18 PM

After chilling with ken today i can tell you that he is well taken care of up there. He has the nurses eating out of his hand lol.

****** thing to happen but you know we are all here for you and crissy.

Mocha Man · October 26th, 2011, 08:48 PM

Dang. I really wish cagers would pay a bit more attention to the things around them when they're driving. Get well soon!

MotoED · October 26th, 2011, 09:44 PM

Damn. So sorry to hear that

Hope you make a speedy recovery. I've had couple of very close calls too.

Trailerboy531 · October 26th, 2011, 11:25 PM

I can tell you all that Ken is a skilled and experienced rider, there was nothing more that could have been done to avoid this situation. No matter how good you are sometimes **** just happens.

Let's get you out of that damn hospital Ken I can hear those tacos calling your name from here!

KJohnson21 · October 27th, 2011, 07:25 AM

I was fortunate enough to get moved to a private room so that Crissy could stay with me throughout the whole day.
