    I guess I got really lucky last night after having walked away with minor scrapes and a sore crotch after falling on a pretty fast downhill at the loop. Thanks to those who stopped and helped me :beer:

    You're welcome :) You did get pretty lucky I think. If you would have fallen awkwardly it would have been bad.

    Umm, umm, I'll bet a shower feels good on that (off)road rash!

    Two weeks into six or eight of my broken collar bone, so I guess what I'm saying is, I'm jealous of you! 8-[

    Glad you're okay and didn't leave there with a worse injury.

    Throw some wheat grass extract on the rash and it'll heal up very quickly and nicely... :bang:

    That looks tasty! Try Aloe Vera to heal it up quickly, every biker should have this shiat in their bag of tricks. Make sure the Aloe vera is 100%, you want the pure stuff, don't even settle for 99% unless you cant find anything in a 5 mile radius.

    screw it, just put some peanut butter on it.....lol, joking!

    I like dirt, personally...

    Mark recommends Calendula oil, but I think you need to get that at the weird holistic organic food places. :-k

    It was so funny because Shinken was infront of me and you were behind me and the pace was somewhat fast going down that hill. I thought you were behind me and I stopped at the street and you were picking yourself up. It could have bee a lot worse someone could have ran into you going down that hill. I almost ate it their as well but my quick cat like atheltic aglie 230lb body absorbed all the Fully loop could throw at me. OK I was kidding I don't want to be the next victim...sorry SJ

    I would have thought that those new sparkly gold hubs would have saved your a$$ on the Loop downhill...

    Haha I think those new hubs put me into Mach 7 or something and I just couldn't handle the power of the gold Hadleys! But really I think I'm going to put the blame on the brakes because I've never ridden discs before and so I locked them up therefore causing me to skid but luckily I slid to a halt and didn't endo. I think I just need full squish :(

    Honestly couldn't tell you how big they are. They're Hayes So1e's that Rob let me borrow in the meantime until I buy my Avid Juicy 7's.

    I thought it sounded crazy when I first heard it, but it works (not only for road rash, but burns and other wounds, too). You don't drink it...you apply it directly to the wound.

    I bought a bunch of wheat grass juice from Jamba Juice and stored it in my fridge.

    Juicy 7's are much better than the Soles, you should invest asap :lol:

    I use Neosporin to accelerate the healing.
