gary,
yeah, the second time it happened i was standing there bleeding like h*^# and cussing myself for being so stupid. funny note of the story was the first time i did it and got the bleeding stopped and took the wheel to the shop i use, mark asked "what the heck happened to you?" i said "you should see the other guy!" then, when virgil was bringing me home from the hospital, i asked him to stop at the m/c shop. went in and showed them i had done the same thing again, only worse...they had a good laugh out of that....really a great bunch of guys though. my t-shirt was soaked with blood, so the hosptial had given me one of those robes with the open butt thing (i did have pants on) so here i was standing in this shop that's mostly harley oriented with that robe on telling them the story.

clay,
guess i should have taken some pics of the bike, that's something i have to do today...clean blood off it. but, my ladyfriend is puerto rican and has a pretty good temp sometimes....but a great gal.

greg,
will have a picture later of the visor.....or what will be left of it!!!! haven't tried a helmet yet. the worst cut is pretty sore. didn't sleep much last night as i like to toss and turn and just couldn't lay on my left side at all. tried it once and got the cut bleeding a little.

danbgt,
now that's funny, hadn't thought about that!

skip,
yeah, i've already heard that! i actually called a transmission shop near me when i was looking for somebody to help. it's owned by a friend of mine who's an old car guy and always a bunch of us hanging out there. virgil, friend who has a T-bucket stayed with me at the hospital and as i was about ready to leave i said "virgil, this is just between you and me"....he said "too late". so i knew i would be getting "stupid" calls last night!
one of the nurses came it at one point and said "i see you've been here before". i felt like "tim, the toolman", 'cause i think every time i've been there is was about something ridiculous . last time i was adding freon to a chopped '50 ford and had put the freon in a warm pan of water to make it go in faster....o.k., it was a hot pan of water. blew up the freon can, burnt my arm bad and only missed really messing my eyes up because i had glasses on. drove myself to the hospital that time. guess i take after my dad. he loved trout fishing and was always looking for the best spots along the river. he was up at 5 am every morning to go fish. one morning he slipped, broke his leg, and crawled 1/2 a mile to his car and drove himself to the hospital!

thanks for all the posts. enjoy reading them, but i've got to get that wheel on today and decide what terrible "accident" that visor is going to suffer!!
