Is this..... (maybe NSFW)

The same girl that crashed off the back of her friends bike. There was a few threads up about it. Looks like a different girl.

EDIT: Actually I think it's different. This just happened in Oct 2005.

This is taken from her.

Here's the jist of it: I was a passenger on my friend Sean's GXSR 750, we were going WAY fast on highway 550 (that means about 120mph), and my helmet visor flipped open, making me instantly un-aerodynamic, and ripping me off the back of the bike. I tumbled 522 feet down the highway and slid to a stop across the yellow lines at mile marker 8. The guy riding behind us said I looked like a bag of trash rollin' down the highway, and he had to swerve to avoid hitting me. I ended up on my stomach, with my right arm pinned underneath me and my left arm extended out onto the road. My clothes were shredded, my helmet was f*ed, and my shoes were gone... they had all been claimed by the cement. My injuries included, but were not limited to, 50 percent body coverage of third degree "pavement" burns , which we lovingly call "road rash." To get an idea of what this means, some of my bones, tendons, and even internal organs were exposed in several places, and chunks of muscle and skin were completly missing. I lost half of my left breast (which I still am sad about). I also dislocated my right big toe and severed all the tendons in my left pinky finger. However, I didn't break any bones whatsoever. This is probably because I let myself go limp, as I just wanted to die while I tumbled on the cement. The ambulance arrived 45 minutes later because we were out in the middle of nowhere (Indian Reservation!). Once the Paramedics realized the extent of my injuries, they called the helicopter out and flew me to UNMH, where I stayed until just yesterday. So, after 8 surguries and 2 long months in the hospital, I am happy to report that I am home and alright. But, I did have to learn to walk again, and my scars will never go away, and many scars I do have. As of now, I look pretty gross under my clothes, but my pretty face survived.

Of course, I do not regret getting on the bike because you never know when something like that could happen. It was a Sunday drive, and I was sober when I chose to ride. Nothing could have changed what happened or even warned me about the problem with my helmet. I only hope that poor Sean has stopped blaming himself and that he comes with me to Vegas for my birthday. It's amazing what you can learn about a person if you simply fall off their motorcycle. "

wow. would a flipped up visor make you THAT aero dynamic?

kevinwilly · 02-07-2006, 09:48 PM

"nothing could have changed what happened"

yeah, leather jackets and pants wouldnt have helped.... do most people even know about gear, or what?

I'm sorry to hear about that, though. Hopefully it won't scar TOO bad... looks like her legs will be the worst..

EDIT: no, if you know what's going on, the visor would rip off before you got ripped off the bike. I've gone at least 110 with a flipped visor (on my snowmobile)... not a big deal. Sounds like she got spooked ot something.
Plus- how could it flip up on its own? dont know.

That last paragraph just kills me. Just a Sunday ride? 100+, 2 up? I felt bad when i saw the pics but she has to wake up. Did she learn anything?

Justin726 · 02-07-2006, 09:53 PM

I wouldn't want to slide acoss the pavement at 20 miles an hour without any protective gear, let alone sliding across pavement at 120 miles per hour without any on. OUCH!!!

netboog · 02-07-2006, 09:54 PM

A bug must have hit her on the visor, she freaked out, and jumped off the bike hoping it would solve everything.

MRBoss429x · 02-07-2006, 09:55 PM

Unbelievable. I feel so bad for her even though she did fall off. Thats just terrible.

RSEXY0682 · 02-07-2006, 10:08 PM

Yeh I feel bad for her, but the only flipping my visor has done is down making me more aerodynamic!!

That sux though, and if I ever had someone fall off of my bike, I would feel terrible, even if it wasn't an error I caused.

She's dumb and she exaggerates.

Think about it. In order for her to get pulled off the bike like that her visor would need to be able to support her entire body weight without coming loose of the helmet. Do you think YOUR visor would stay attached well enough to pull 140lbs of dumb blonde off your bike?

I like how she completely aleviats all participants of any blame. She chose to get on a bike with no gear, her boyfriend chose to do a buck 20 with her on the back (with no gear), and she somehow managed to fly off, which is NOT something that "just happens".

badgixxer · 02-07-2006, 10:31 PM

all i gotta say is OUCH!!!!!!!!

fishchoke · 02-07-2006, 10:45 PM

Damn, I don't care whether or not she's stupid, exxagerates, or what, I just feel damn bad for her. That's gotta suck. She's really frikkin' lucky.

Travis71902 · 02-07-2006, 10:47 PM

Id still hit it.lol

sukemecuke · 02-07-2006, 10:52 PM

I am guessin he ain't gettin any for a while. Part of the reason my fiance has not ridden with me is because I have not had the chance to get her proper fitting gear.

lvxtreme · 02-07-2006, 11:11 PM

Hmm, going that fast ive had the opposite happen, my visor usually slams shut with a bang!Scares the shit out of me.
