350x restoration finished! and wrecked

[TriMotoMan]

So i finally finished my resto and took her out for a spin and one of the worst experiences of my life occured, so my right wheel hub was a little loose my rear rotor was warped and i was going very fast. u do the math.

I hit the tree to the left, i barrel rolled three times hit the tree landed upside down hit a huge rock with both my shins smashing my head in the process going about 50 mph, i hit make brakes on loose gravel and they locked up and threw me sideways, this happend two weekends ago and my neck is still messed up same with my toe and my back, but over all im fine and my three wheeler was easy to fix, wet asphault sucks, i was bruised head to toe, i was wearing a helmet, i think i got a concusion but im not sure i stayed out there and road the next day, my head hit my handle bars so hard it bent them and theres a mark on the tree where i hit. it was an eye opener for sure and im gonna be more causious, my three wheeler is right side up in the pic but thats cuz i flipped it back over cuz it was leaking gas

when i was flying through the air i remeber thinking "I'm gonna die" it was a terrifying feeling. i actually flew off an embankment that went down 25 ft so it was quitw the fall. theres some pics of the crash then some of my resto before the crash

Glad to hear you're okay for the most part. Trikes can be put back together way easier than people. Glad you were wearing a helmet.

and boots boots boots wear a nice pair of expensive boots
knee pads are a good idea too
glad trailprotrailpro ok

[harryredtrike]

thats why i wear a helmet.glad you'll recover.

[Iprefer3]

Wow. Never been down like that. Glad your able to walk away. Good luck with the recovery. Best wishes from AZ

It doesn't get easier to heal as you get older. Remember that. I wrecked over a month ago and i still kinda hurt here and there. No matter what anyone says helmets work. I'd have no left ear or be dead or a slow talker without that hemet.

Glad you are ok.

[fabiodriven]

You've gotta be more careful little buddy. Glad you're OK though.

[bobotech]

Glad you are okay.

[Xpress]

Well at least you're alright. Trikes can be rebuilt. People.. not so much :(

Good thing you were wearing your helmet, I've seen a couple accidents where people have turned out for the worst because they weren't wearing their helmet :(

[factoryX]

lol this almost happened to me out at Tillamook, was it kind of a off camber turn?

[tri again]

I often wonder if it's worth having one of those flexible neck rolls to take up the space between the helmet and shoulders. like some football players use.

Less flex possible for wrenching/breaking neck bones.

I guess our bmx bicycle kid could've used both this past weekend.

Services will be Friday for Lucas

What do the surgeons want to do this time?

[TriMotoMan]

ya my necks stil tweeked and i have little aches, the turn was kinda sharp and my hub messed up my steering i also extened my axle out 2 more inches and i wasnt used to it, it was just a nightmare, it was my first real crash, thanks for the support and i hope it never happens to anyone on this site, i'm still riding hard and pushing my limits but i'm gonna go a little slower til i warm up cuz i didnt ride my bike for two months and it does almost 80mph now, Powroll bore and port job, bigger piston/rings, i think it either has a hot cam or a web cam not sure, pow roll exhaust, bigger header pipe, mikuni flatside 2 stroke carb jetted for 4 stroke i think its a 38cfm, after market air intake, 1 tooth bigger front sproket and 250r rear sproket, took off abunch of stuff to make it lighter, front tire is 23 instead of 23.5 and the rears are 20 so its alittle lower
