Roderick:
I do a pretty good job navigating a Japanese menu, but sashimi never was my thing. Grandpa and dad really dig it, so the hubby fits right in. My grandma, mom and I don't really care for the raw fish, but will usually make short work of any other kind of sushi -- maki, cucumber or California rolls, inari and so on. I do like tobiko (the flying fish eggs) and unagi. In fact, this new place makes what they call a "Volcano" roll -- tempura shrimp wrapped in rice and seaweed, topped with unagi and a touch of hot sauce. Delicious.

I'm actually relatively OK with the parking lot thing... maybe it's because my MSF class was in a parking lot. I'm still new enough that riding 55 mph+ is still a little freaky... the amount of wind that hits me makes me very conscious of how fast I'm going. Completely different than being a passenger with the hubby; he makes a good wind shield! :)

Did somebody say Sushi...or Sashimi. The price of Ahi (Yellowfin tuna) is $1.25 a pound. I'm muching on some right now. My personal fav is Uni...with a bit of cucumber

I like parking lots/garages...especially with the V&H pipe. I'm nice and noticable. And caralarms are only a throttle roll from going off in some cases just rolling by

Jen,

I am duly impressed, and, you may tell the hubby, jealous. I have not met many who can handle true "real" Japanese cuisine. Many of the restaurants of all types I've been to does "water" things a bit to fit the less adventurous. Believe it or don't, I've lost second dates because I was willing to go native. The "Volcano" roll is definitely tempting, and I do hope it's real hot sauce, I am game for this one. Remember, it's my treat...

Aikigecko,

Know what you mean about the car alarms, my X1 has the Buell race kit installed, and just the right amount of twist of the throttle will do it, unintentionally, going to work at 0500, of course. Actually, I get more ticked off at the kids with their thumpers at stoplights, who will turn up the volume just to show off, or annoy the rider (me) at the next lane. Then I wipe their smirks off with a good twist of the right wrist.

Don't know what is it about Utah drivers, but despite my exhaust notes, horn, high beam, and profane gestures, I've had more near misses in parking lots than 20mph on the streets or 75mph on the freeway.

Aikigecko:
$1.25 a pound for ahi? Well, I guess you should get a price break on something, right? The hubby is the big sashimi fan. I can handle a little bit in sushi, but anything more than a little is wasted on me.

Xfudog:
Just consider the whole Japanese food thing "genetic"... I'm fourth-generation Japanese American. In fact, the grandparents spent part of the war in Topaz, Utah. But the funniest thing is this: I've got the American bike, and the hubby, whose origins are some place in Europe, has the rice burner and loves sashimi. His relatives are H-D folk, though I'm not sure where they stand on Buell.

I think there is a common thread between the Utah and Boise drivers, but at the risk of offending people, I'll keep that to myself. Drop me an e-mail and I'll be happy to share my "controversial" theory.

Xfudog: So... you eat nato? I impressed the heck out of a bunch of Toshiba engineers when I ate everything they put in front of me at dinner one night in Kawasaki. Had them rolling on the floor when, in answer to being asked what I thought of the nato I had just devoured, I said "It goes very well with cold Asahi, (then while pointing first to my feet then mimicking cleaning dirt from under my thumbnail and sniffing it with a sour face) but it smells like toe jam.

I'll always enjoy authentic Japanese quisine. Had the best sashimi in a little sushi bar near the train station in Mura Kaigan. Then there was the excellent restaurant at Narita temple that had some of the best sashimi and barbequed eel I'd ever tasted. I have their menu at home in Texas so I can remember it my next trip to the Tokyo area.

I'll also never forget the look on my project engineer's face during lunch at the Toshiba facility, when she opened the box lid and saw the little pickled baby octopus staring back at her. She nearly ran out of the room screaming when I clamped it between my hashi, curiously examined it, and enthusiastically plopped it into my mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it down. Yummmm! She gave me hers.

Nothing dissappoints me more than when a traveling companion refuses to try the local quisine. I had to eat Pizza (pizza hut) and hamburgers (hard rock cafe) on two occassions in Tokyo, because my associates were too timid/silly to dine at a true Japanese restaurant.

Okay, back to the "crashing" topic... I once went down in a parking lot because of water skiing. Anyone care to guess why? It was not injury related.

I'll ask why Blake....Why?????

On a travel Food Topic I spent most of March in Japan...Sasebo and Yokosuka. In Sasebo (on Kyushu) I had to drag my Co-worker into dive restrauants to get good food because there were no "regular" places for him to eat other than on Base (a $14 dollar cab ride away) By the Time we got to Yokosuka (south of Tokyo) I had him well broken in and we were cruising the "hole in walls" eating good food every night. There is nothing so good as a 100yen Kaiten sushi bar serving everything you could ask for. I can't wait to move there next year.

I had a favorite Japanese/Italian restauraunt in Yokosuka. It's a few blocks from the Hotel Yokosuka where I was staying and is on the 2nd floor. Great loads of pasta with Japanese style sauces.

This one summer when I was still the scurge of engineering at SMU in Dallas, TX, I was doing a LOT of slalom skiing with a good friend (he had the boat, I had my Jobe ProComp). Aboard my Yammer XZ550RJ V-Twin and as I was negotiating a turn in the parking lot at the offshore drilling company where I was working, my preoccupied brain wierdly dictated "slalom turn" instead of "motorcycle turn"; two milliseconds after all kinds of stuff started to scrape, the rear tire lifted off and I was on the ground with a chipped right elbow. Talk about embarrassing!

I used to be able to drag elbows on my Jobe, I don't even drag knees on my Buell. Haven't confused the two modes of turning since.

Jen,
I did suspect it had to be in the genes (hah), get me at xnroderic@netscape.net and we'll swap tales...

Blake,
Nato ? I'm from Hawai'i, and I thought I ate just about anything and everything from anyone. Whatever it is, I'm game. So far, of the "gross out your tablemate" factor, I've found it hard to beat balut, I hope I spelled it right, it's been so long, I'm not even sure if it's the right name, but to give you a clue, it comes in an egg. I envy you for have had the chance to realy gone native, rare enough I've found. Baby octopus sounds like a good challenge, the most I've ever got to that was when we dived in Turkey and snagged a couple of the adults. Even chewier than cuttlefish, one of us GIs almost lost a finger in the fracas. We had them raw and bbq, but the tentacles shrank a good 50% in the flames. Understand about disappointment of those who won't at least have a taste, the closest most people knows anything about the Orient is from the local Chinese takeout, which I'll admit, I do frequent from time to time. For enquiring mind, I'll relate what I saw in Scotland about the blood sausages if asked. Reminds me of that quote about 2 processes the public should not see in the making : laws and sausages. Yes, I did go to Loch Ness, and no, I did not see the monster.

Aikigecko,
You going to Japan ? Taking your bike ? I know a guy who took his 883 to England (I was at Upper Heyford), and he had a different girl on there every week. Same for you ?

Blake
I know a place of that description down the street from the Hotel New Yokosuka but I didn't see one near the hotel Yokosuka (stayed at both the New Yoko is much better)

BTW the only Japanese food I've ever had a problem eating was Shihokara (I think that's spelled right) Salted Fermented Squid. That was a whole beer in and of itself just to get rid of the taste. I always try something new but that almost made me change my mind...makes natto taste like chocolate mousse.

AikiGecko: Yep, it was near the Hotel NEW Yokosuka. I forgot about the "New" descriptor. And thanks for the correct "natto" spelling.

Roderick: Natto is pure Samurai sustenance, fermented soy. The story goes that some ancient Samurai while evading his enemy, had his supply of soy go bad; he ate it anyway and the next day slew a slew of enemy. Kinda like spinache is to Popeye in America. Natto is not enjoyed by all Japanese. In fact one of my engineer friends at Toshiba who is a west coaster by origin, refuses to ever eat it. Natto is more of an east coaster/Tokyo dish. It is actually okay to eat, just stinks worse than •••• is all. The rotten squid weren't too bad either, as long as you have plenty of Asahi to wash it down like Aikigecko said. My favorite though is Octopus sashimi. And I'm lucky that Kilgore, Texas actually has a Japanese Steak House with a sushi bar (operated by Koreans), so I get to enjoy decent sashimi whenever I have a mind to. Not like the stuff I've enjoyed in Japan though.

Guys, I'll move the Japanese thread to a toic on the quick board.

Back on-topic... who has scars or broken bones from motorcycle accidents? I've got a jagged right clavicle, not real noticeable, from my off road excursion in the spring of '99. Never had any road rash though.

Ah, the road rash... it has taken on a life of its own. The "outer fringes" of it, that is to say, the part that wasn't damaged too badly, is now a bright pink scar that goes around my knee. I've still got two dark spots where "divots" were taken out when I crashed. I'm not sure if they're dark because they've still got asphalt in them, or if it's blood. Each of the dark spots has its own ring of goo. I've been bandaging the knee at night after a liberal application of Neosporin, and that seems to be helping a bit. Of course, the trick is, after I get out of the shower, I have to sit somewhere and keep my knee bent so that when the goo dries, I'm able to bend my knee.

It turns out that the dried goo/pus makes it impossible to bend my knee if I don't do this, and was the cause of one of the shooting pains in my knee. I guess if anyone really wants to know what this looks like, I can post a pic...

But now it's time to go get lunch. The hubby is grumbling.

I got my first scar on the first ride of my life--I'm maybe 12 years old and my crazy aunt turns me loose on her Trail 90, whichI promptly drop on my leg--hot side down. 38 years later, I can still show you the mark!

There's been plenty more since then, of course, but you don't need to hear that many stories!

Road rash by the acre, but no brken bones so far!

Jen, This will sound strange but bear with me. I take it that like most women these days you shave you legs. If the answer is yes then the following will help out if no do not do any of the following as it can lead to infection. after you get out of the shower and everything is soft use a butterknife and spread on the ointment of you choice (I use Bagbalm but Neosporin and Bacitracin also work) in a very heavy layer once this is done wrap the offending roadrash area of the leg in Saranwrap and tape the top and bottom. This will sem to slow down the healing process but in actuallity it doesn't.
Now one might want to know how I came across this bit of knowedge???? Well in Highschool I road bicycles competively for 2 years and what scars on my legs don't come from skateboards come from cycling. This is an old time remedy from before the days of toughskin (artificial skin).
Good luck

Tony:
The saranwrap thing just sounds creepy... put that right over the road rash, no bandage, just ointment? How long should I leave it on? Or should I go get some of the toughskin stuff?

The knee does seem to be making good progress. I kept it bandaged all day yesterday, and the amount of pus seems to have decreased (woo hoo!). I was able to go buy groceries last night... didn't wear my leg brace and by the time I was in the store, wished I had. It's not so much that my knee can't bear weight, it's the combination of the knee being a little weak still, and the hyper-extended ankle. So, now I know. Driving wasn't a problem, though it was weird to be behind the wheel after all the time I had been putting in on the Blast. Poor Blast...

You gotta get the infection out before you want it to heal. I agree with the saranwrap trick. Not sure what the product is called, but my sister-in-law is burned over 85% of her body and there is a special burn cream this is supposed to be great.

I used to race moto cross, that being said,

Fractures:open left tib-fib, both clavicles, both wrists, right hip, right knee, both ankles several times(not at the same time)right 5th metatarsal(6 times),most fingers,a dozen or so ribs, several concusions.

Road rash: only once from a motorcycle, right forearm, from a tree,while enduro racing.

Mind you these injuries have occurred over 27 years of being stupid crazy, if someone said it couldnt be done I was hell bent to prove them wrong.

When I have road rash I have used the saran wrap method every day. for up to about a week. Showering and washing off all the goop daily. The problem with toughskin is that when is comes off it takes a layer of skin with it (OOOUUUCCCHHH). I have never liked it. Think of the wrapas a substitute for you bandage. it just keeps things moist instead of allowing it to dry out.

There is an oitment called Silvadine (sp??) which is only available by perscription. The nurse that cleaned my rash gave me the rest of the bottle to take home. It works great.

Another thing that works well is Spenco 2nd Skin.
I used it when I played softball. Used to take off hide on my calf all the time sliding into base. Never did figure out the right way to slide so I lost MUCHO skin.
Biggest problem was the lime they use for baseline stripes. The infield dirt is loaded with it. It caused lots of problems/infections.

The 2nd skin is like the saran wrap except it breaths and you can wrap it with an ace bandage without worring about sticking.

The stuff is like a thin gelatin film. It's like 85% water. It comes with a sheet of film on each side that you remove before applying.

I could actually sleep the night without worring about rollin over on the scrape. Pants during the day were no problem.

Hmm, just went looking,, check out http://www.spenco.com all the info is there.

Healing,

Be extremely careful in using any type of prescription wound prep. "Silvadene" is a combination of siler and sulfa. Many people are allergic to sulfa as it is an early antibiotic and this allergic reaction can adversely effect healing. neosporin or any of the "over the counter" triple antibiotivc preps are fairly safe.

If you are uncomfortable with saran wrap use telfa which allows the wound to breath, is available at most stores and is non-stick. All of these are important to healing. The human body requires two things to sustain life (oxygen and sugar) allowing a wound to breath promotes the healing process by allowing oxygen to the wound.

This is from 20 years as a prcticing Paramedic, teaching future Paramedics, and many wound sustained both on and off a motorcycle.

Wow, thanks for all the advice about getting rid of the goo. I have noticed more progress by keeping it bandaged. The amount of goo seems to be going down, and it's even starting to bleed a little. I've been using the Johnson & Johnson triple-layered nonstick pads, and those have been working pretty well. I'm just getting tired of looking at the dang thing...

Any advice about cleaning the wound? I've been gently using soap and water in the shower, but have been too chicken to try anything else. Do I dare use peroxide, or should I just let nature run its course?

Thanks again for the info. :)

You want to think about a triple anitbiotic ointment for the infection. Peroxide is good to try and you can see when it fizzles which makes it all the more entertaining.

Jen: (soap and) water is perfect to clean superficial wounds in first place. And that you have to do meticulously. That is most important. Packing it with a good thick layer of mild antiseptic goop UNDER the non sticking pads or gaze is good and then: Let the wound heal, keeping it dry and with rest. You can fix the plaster better by drying and degreasing the sound skin around the wound. You can have a look after three days to be sure. Then only fresh goop etc. A sound wound does not hurt. If it itches or hurts you can have a look if there is contamination. In that case you can use 3% peroxide to clean and for instance a iodine (betadine) containing goop.
Rest is essential for an healing wound as is the initial cleaning. I used before cleaning sometimes first even an local anaestheticum.
Abrasive wounds on hands are reason to ask your doctor for an systemic antibiotic.
With locally deeper wounds than just superficial it is a good idea to ask for a booster injection with tetanus toxoid wich gives another 10 till 15 year total prevention.
To much cleaning or frequent inspection later on is not good. Sticking bandages is the worst of all.

Hans:
Thanks for the info. They gave me a tetanus shot in the ER when they brought me in. Been using liberal amounts of neosporin... just haven't been brave enough to give the wound a good scrubbing. At least the knee isn't as sore from the crash as it was last week.

Jen: To soften up dry scars and clean up contaminated wounds we used in the past soaking in warm water with soda but since the enzymes were found out the sovereign mixture for that is pre wash soaking powder: Soda with enzymes. Here it is known under the name of Biotex. (the kind without bleaching agent.) Clean after with warm tap water, dip dry and apply then again those antiseptic goops.

Jen,
I'm not going to give med advice, I'll just say to do a web search on bicycling and road rash, you will get lots of hits, some very graphic. If the wound is dryng out to the point of hurting when you bend your knees, then it may be too dry or the scabbing may be getting too thick, either of which can lead to scarring.

I'll rumage around if I stay awake long enough and may post some roadrash links later or tomorrow.
