    • CVO1: No CVO's At Present
My CVO is no more.........
« on: November 18, 2009, 10:31:48 AM »
On 11-4-09, at about 6:30pm eastern, I t-boned a Nissan in north Georgia at about 50mph.  I was coming into an intersection, geared down and saw everything was clear.  As soon as I committed to going through, the Nissan turned right in front on me - no options other than impact.  My four month old CVO SESG was completely totaled.  I flew about 85 feet in the air after impact, and skidded another 20-30 feet after landing.  Lifeflighted me to Atlanta trauma where I stayed in ICU and CCU for 10 days.  Got back home on Friday night 11-13.  Broke (or fractured) everything on my left side (scapula, collarbone, left arm, left hand, 9 ribs, pelvis, left leg, left ankle).  Thank God I am a rightee so able to still do a lot!!  Collapsed both lungs, but no neck/back trauma, no internal issues, little impact rash on my chin and right knee. 

Very thankful to be alive and able to recover in time.  Had all my leathers on, 3/4 helmet too, and was told point blank that my gear definitely kept me from greater harm.  Thanks to all my buds for their immediate and continued support, my thanks to God for reaching down and saving me, and safe rides to everyone!

In my best Terminator voice - "I'll be back!"

Sorry to hear....but glad you are going to be OK. Heal quick and get back out there. As someone once told me--very recently I may add---the bike can be fixed or replaced but us mortals can't.

Best of luck on a speedy recovery.

Very sorry to read of the accident and all the injuries.  Great to read you're out of the hospital and on the mend. 

What's the prognosis for recovery?  And any more surgeries ahead to finish putting pieces back together or remove new bits holding them together now?

I agree..but I was speaking of after the fact--as in the current status. You don't have to tell me about STUPID!!!!!

I'm just glad he will be OK and the bike can get replaced. AND YES---IT DOES STILL SUCK.
