Yes, I am an idiot.
The bike went down and I thought I'd lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I lay there in the sun
And felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
Until the ambulance came. 
My wife recounted exactly what your wife described: "Glad you were out...wish I had been."
Best and rest! |
You’re not an idiot, a bug hitting you in the face at high speed is unexpected and can knock you right off of your horse, (or MC). A pillow can take someone’s head off if it’s going fast enough. I flip my face shield up all the time on my MC when it’s hot out.
Higgins, sorry to hear about this but glad you’re okay now. I actually had a somewhat similar experience last week but for different reasons. The back story is that I had a bout of extreme vertigo a few years ago and wound up in the ER. So last week, I’m laying under my PU truck trying to put the fuel tank back in, (36 gallon plastic tank empty), when I twist the wrong way and get the worst spins I’ve ever had in my life. I honestly could not stand up or really move, I laid there for over an hour before finally calling a friend who shares the space and he was on his way over so I had someone else there.
To make a long story long, I eventually pulled myself up into my truck and just sat for a long time until I was ok to go home. The last time it happened, they ran every test in the book and found nothing. I’ll tell my doctor about it but that’s about it.
Glad you got it handled and glad that you’re getting in shape, that’s on my list.
