Posted this on another board, and I figured you guys might wanna hear it too.
Btw, crash was August 2nd. I'm all healed now. Shoulder keeps popping out though.
Well we have been pretty busy with the crash stories and I was starting to feel jealous so I got one of my own tonight.
Typimg wuth one hand so I'll be brief.
PCH south tonight after bravo burger at approx 920
Doing about 50ish (posted 50). Im in the center lane of the divided highway 2 double yellow lines inbetween with concrete barrier a little bit ahead inbetween magnolia and brookhurst in huntington beach..
#1 Late model 4 door sentra is off in an enlarged busstop area on the right side of road. car turns on left blinker. Im guessing car wants to merge into slow lane, so I start moving over to the left to give him extra room.
#2 However, Mensa candidate is actually turning left to cross entire south side of pch (not in an intercection) in order to pull an illegal U-turn across double yellow median.
#3 I immediatly brake but am unable to break laws of physics. I t-bone the car and proceed to do my best suprman immitation down pch. bike goes into opposite lanes and proceeds to do an excellent immitation of a pinball with multiple cars that are proceeding northbound.
I know right away that my collarbone is busted good. fingers and toes work. get up and go sit by the side of the road. tons of people stop and start looking for my body in the northbound lanes near where my bike is.
Ifinally go up and tell them im ok besides the busted wing. I never end up seeing or meeting driver or seeing bike.
Ambulance and fire onscene less than 4 mins. Im boarded and collared, transported to Hoag (because apparebtly they have the best looking nurses which is what medical personnell recommended when they asked me where i wanted to go).
Broken clavicle confirmed, road rash (the size of 2 hands on my left hip and lower back ) scrubbed and cleaned.
Motocop came and did report in hospital. Mensa candidate was cited immediatly. Informs me that more than touch up paint and buffing wax will be needed to restore bike. Motocop hits on nurses and makes me laugh which does not feel great with busted wing. Male nurse shows me hot pix of female nurse (who is my main nurse) with large boob implants in a bikini. I feel better.
My phone treo 650, fails impact testing horribly. Unable to call anyone since the only phone number I know by heart is Howard Stern (1888-9-AS$HOLE). Finally remember a number for a friend who comes and picks me up.
Pain now sets in as I am trying to get up and leave. Clavicle moves around and provides me with outstanding sensations of pain. I pass out and have minor seizure. Drink water.. try again to get in wheelchair.. turn white and begin sweating but maintain cinsciousness. Go home and call mom and friends.
