Knee looks painful. Xrays ok? No ligament damage? What kind of antiboitics did they give you?
Considering your speed during the accident, it's pretty clear you did an amazing job of limiting the injuries for both you and your girlfriend. Good reflexes. It could have been so much worse. Todd, fate could have killed you but instead just took a few bites. Stay the hell away from bikes. Don't test the patience of your guardian angel.

Not sure how long it will take to heal in, but I'm guessing quite a while. I think I better get the monthly rental rate on the slush box... |

Todd, Just saw your pictures....yep, you were lucky. My wife is a CWOCN wound nurse (lucky for me with the amount of metal I have in my legs/feet) , and she says that the Xeroform that she saw in the pic (yellow stuff you had in your hand) will keep your wound moist and it has antimicrobial agent in it. She says "he's young, has good antibiotics and vicodin, he'll heal up just fine"...If you want to try something else as well as the xeroform, acticoat silver (Smith & Nephew product) or silvadene cream works good on road rash as well. Heal up & hair over quick and she says "stay off the f'ing bike and spend more time with your g/f in the Porsche".

Looking alive, is looking good after any get off.
Crashing sucks, but bikes get fixed or replaced and bodies heal up just enough to go back and do it again. Two friends of mine have launched their bikes into and over track fences in the past two weekends. Not much left of either bike. Ride fast. Take chances. |

With that said, I hope you mend well. It could be worse. You could set off the metal detector when you walk through, like I do.
