[QUOTE="wik91, post: 1284098, member: 84380"] Well guys i overated my riding skills 3 days ago... After short trail ride i gone on local MX track and i trained on CR 125 a bit, i rip the 125 after 500 so much that i'm afraid it wil seeize so i got home and come back with a 500 on the same track. Then i tried to clear a big jump that i couldn't with a 125... i was too fast and landed flat with front tire and fliped over several times, bike hit me few times on my back and right leg, then i hit a big rock with right knee and after all landed in mud... i was lucky that my friend was there so he called ambulance imedieatly. I was unable to move, nothing was hurting me because of big shock. But few hours latter when i heard what i broke then pain came... well, right knee shatered, broken shoulder, 2 fingers broken, very much bruises and wounds. I can barely move but i can sit on computer :D, nothing is that bad but knee is badly wounded. Doctor sayd that i'll be able to walk but after intensive therapy over 8 months. I hope i'll be able to ride a bike some day... well equipment saved my life thats for sure! Day before i buyed new expensive helmet, gloves, boots but i didn't have money for body armor, if i had body armor my shoulder would propably be good. I hit many rocks with helmet so helmet was defineteavly good investment!!! Also boots propably saved ankles. Well bike has just minor damage... front mud guard, back mud guard and one tank plastic are broken. Levers are broken, and exhaust is leaking. Nothing serious, unfortunately i can't say that for my knee. I didn't saw bike but friend says there is nothing serious. So guys i learned a lesson hard way... newer overate your riding skills especialy on very very fast and strong bike that you canot handle well. There is nothing wrong with 500s, it was human stupidity and inexpirience fault. I hope i will get well soon, i won't sell my bikes! Now when i won't spend money on gasoline and oil i will save it to buy plastic kit and new racing exhaust so the bike will be ready for me when i get well(i hope i will be able to ride after year or so) Take care!
