AKA.... what you shouldn't do when changing a tire. Mikef5000 stopped by tonight to put some new shoes on his Uly and when it was just about all said and done.... I have the bright idea to show Mike just how little rubber is left once a motorcycle tire gets past the wear bars... and promptly stuck my box cutter in my thigh.... DOH!! I hate it when that happens! blood pics.... turn away now.... mmmm smells like raw steak...  looks like... Saturn..  Zippy the zipper...  | ||

Nice war wound  Tell Mike5000 to stop in at BB&D. Have not heard from him in months  Been wondering how he is. | ||
| Whatever |
Gosh Mark, if you needed some attention that bad you could have just texted me...  | ||

....and this is why Mark can't have nice things.... | ||

The dumb things we do. So often. Bleeding's supposed to be good for you though, it builds character or something. And we don't have to pay extra for jeans with holes in them. | ||

Been there done that... sadly more than once. (Blade in the thigh that is.) Now that that's you're all fixed up, what did the tire look like? I've often wondered. I'd reconsider how far I took the tires down if it really does get very thin. | ||

 Dunlop with about 4k on it. | ||

There is some rubber left, but we all know it sure would not grip well! I think the danger of a puncture would be more probable than a blowout! Just my opinion? As for the scar......at lest you have a pretty good campfire story!  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I do this to myself every 7 to 10 years..... just glad it wasn't one of my hands this time. Just a FYI. According to the Doc that stitched me up... you only have a 6 hour window to get stitches. After that all you get is a bandage and sorry 'bout your luck.... I did not know that.... | ||
| Jimduncan69 |
Did you stitch that up yourself? | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
nah.... I tried super gluing it... but it didn't hold.... when I saw the Doc... She said it was to deep and not to do that again.... It sure did stop the bleeding quick tho... | ||

Morning Vern!! I hope that tetanus shot I got at Road America is still working! | ||
| Etennuly |
Top of the morning to ya Mark! Been what....four years?! | ||

Look on the bright side if you need a new tetanus shot it now comes loaded with other goodies like no whooping cough. | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
I think you are correct sir.... it was the 24Th | ||

"I have the bright idea to show Mike just how little rubber is left once a motorcycle tire gets past the wear bars... and promptly stuck my box cutter in my thigh..." I keep my box cutters in my pocket or tool box, never thought about my thigh! | ||
| Whatever |
Was there tequila involved?  | ||
| Wolfridgerider |
not until after... | ||
| Whatever |
Saweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet... | ||

Mark, next time you get cornered by a box cutter you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? | ||

Mebbe you had watched "Platoon" the night before? Owie. Don't do that no more. My buddy Megan at Dual Sport Touring carries the official title at her business: "Runs With Scissors". Funny girl, got a razor sharp mind to boot- first girl I've met who has her racer's license... | ||
| Whatever |
I met her up on the Cherahola... cool girl and nice bike...  | ||
| 86129squids |
LOL- she probably took the short way up... Once upon a group ride up there, I had a need to head up to the front and slow things down (seriously...)- once I'd strafed the pack and slotted back in, Megan was right on my 6 with her CBR-1000... Good times. Didn't stick myself in the leg or injure myself in any way that day... | ||
| 86129squids |
Char- when the day comes that you saddle up a Beemer, Megan and Francois "got you". | ||

Anybody know Judy Mirro in VT? It sounds like her... |
