I don't know when this will end! I was out riding my scooter today, and an ambulance with lights and siren going came up behind me. We were on a narrow two lane road with no shoulder. I was moving over to let the ambulance by, and I hit a patch of loose gravel doing about 35 to 40 mph and went over the handlebars. I hit the pavement face first and on both hands and slid another 10 or 15 feet according to the paramedics behind me. They immediately turned around, called dispatch to send another unit for their original call, and picked me up. Fortunately I was wearing a full face helmet, but I still had some pain in my neck. That turned out to be nothing fortunately, but I do have a broken wrist. Among other things, I'm unable to dialyze myself, so I have to go into the centre until this heals. I'm having a very hard time typing right now, so I'll give more details later.

I'm glad you can still keep a sense of humour in all of this but what a run you've had. Enough is enough, I hope this is the end of the bad luck now and hope the wrist will heal soon :grouphug; :bunny:

Adam, I'm so sorry about the accident! I hope this is the end of your bad luck for a long, long time! My friend calls this kind of run of bad luck a sh*t storm. It seems like an appropriate term.

Damn the bad luck! Better times are just around the corner. :cuddle;

My sister took a header on her kick bike and found this pic. I thought of you!
-
Photos of the damage. The bike faired pretty well-just some scratches on the mirror. Over all I think I came out of it pretty well considering what could have happened. On the helmet pic, along with the scratches, the face shield is also broken.
-
ADAM that sucks, I'm just so glad you had a helmet on :cuddle; :cuddle;
-
OMGosh
wishing you good luck
and more good luck
:cheer: A D A M :cheer:
-
Thank you for wearing a helmet! :bow;

At least there was a paramedic nearby, LOL!! Sorry, sometimes I have a sick sense of humor. Hope you heal quickly.

All in all you were very lucky, Adam.
Here is Paris on a scooter.

Ouch, those scrapes on your palm can really be painfull, it's a very tender area. Glad you & the scooter came through without any really serious damage.
