Skin regeneration

[R650R]

Good god, the children of today. I'm not unique or unusual in having raced with broken bones. I've had to assist riders onto bikes - and catch and lift them off after races too.
Getting your licence is IMPORTANT - just harden up and do it petal.

Amen....

I peeled my lower left arm open nicely in mountain bike park after first good downhill run. I was damned if I was going home without another two hours of fun riding. Carried on and let it bleed out cleanly.

Back to thread author. I put colloidal silver on all cuts and abrasions, burn clinics use it too. Kills infection and skin heals faster.

You don't need all your fingers to pull clutch in either, as everyone else says harden up.

When I was young everything like that got a liberal dose of medical alcohol or betadine and sent on our way.
When we didn't want the lecture we used to clean it as best we could then clean it with vinegar.

Stings like a mf for 10 seconds that feels like longer but no more stinging on contact etc.

I passed in case any of you were wondering. Finger was not an issue. Did it with pass masters in south Auckland. Didn't fuck up my u turns which is nice.

While all the "hard men" tell you how they chopped down the mightiest of gum trees with a blunt pocket-knife while bleeding from a serious wound to the left arm... or how they held the wiring together with their bare hands...

all I'll say is:

Congratulations!

+1 Good job OP, that's the hard part done.

Yeah good on you.

Now a lifetime of fun and frustration begins.

Welcome to the grown ups.

I just chucked a whole lot of aloe Vera and abrasion cream and went for it. I assumed the sensitivity it had was going last longer than the day.


Thanks bro.

Yup. He gave me some things that I need to practice and work on which is good. Mainly consistencyand head checks when turning down a side street.

Yeah good on you.

Welcome to the grown ups.

Yay. Can't do too many wheelies at the traffic lights then haha.

When she who must be obeyed did her full she did not do as well as on her restricted despite it being an easier test. Head checks, indicating exiting a round about and lane position where commented on IIRC. She still sailed through, just wee things, but it brought home to me how easy it is to become a bit lazy or habitual and start to lack concentration when riding. Don't rest on your laurels.
Bikes are an endless learning curve.

This thread got me reminiscing a bit and they can be a bastard form of transport when your beaten up.

Wheelie? Shit, I'm only just learning how to do them now. Had to buy a bike purpose built for the task I'm so useless.

Curious part of the brain saying ` bet this would be more exciting if. . . `

Possibly.

Certainly exciting for the wife (and not in a good way). I was behind the couch with her in the room. She heard a loud bang and saw a bright orange flash - had no idea what the hell it was.

I would like to do some training at one point. Probably a silver course til I can save the money for a one on one or something similar.

He mentioned that the head checks and not doing them all the time when turning down a side street is dangerous. So it's good to hear about the bad habits you pick up.

I rode my bike all through winter so I had a lot of sniffles but so far have never been banged up that it's uncomfortable to ride.

My wheelies are stationary clutch dumps pretty much. My bike doesn't produce enough torque to get the front wheel up just through throttle alone. But they're bad for it doing it like that so I have only done it a couple of times.
