OK so this past weekend my brother apparently "driving slowly" on his motorcycle in a parking lot fell over and fucked himself up AGAIN!!!He's in the hospital now but he's going to need surgery to repair is broken knee (literally) and won't be out until a few days after surgery. I for one am ready to punch him in the face, i guess it's a good thing i'm not in NY then. I seriously hate motorcycles now i don't care what kind it is, i really hate them. They have almost taken my brother twice and i don't care how careful you say you are on them, they are still death traps. Personally my brother is one of the most incredible motorcycle riders i've ever seen, he can do so many things on a bike that i've seen other people do but not as good as he does. Anyway he's landed in the hospital twice now becuz of a motorcycle only this time it's not as severe as the first. I mean seriously if you shatter your pelvis, break both your legs, one a compound fracture, and puncture your bladder; are you going to get back on a bike? i'm angry and sad as well as several other emotions are running through me. I'm more angry that he didn't call me himself and tell me this no he had my sister call me up.
Anyway he fell on his left side which is the side that he damaged last time. i believe he needs surgery to put a new rod in his lower left leg which was there from the first accident, as well as a metal plate in his knee if not more metal then that. This is not nearly as severe as the last accident but i don't care how minor this is. He's back in the same hospital he was before and they don't really know when they can perform the surgery becuz the swelling is so bad that they have to wait. So honestly i don't know when he'll be home and i guess i won't go be seeing him race his car next month near Tampa. I was so looking forward to that. I mean i haven't seen my brother race his car since a few years after the motorcycle accident. He has always been there for me and i don't know what to do with him, i love him to death but i want to bash his face in right now. I still can't believe he got another bike, after he swore he would never ride again. But that's him selfish as always. When he first got this 2nd bike, Sandra his girlfriend of like 10 years or more cried for two days straight, did he get rid of it? no he didn't and look what happened. I don't care that he had an itch to ride again, get another dirt bike liek the ones you had when i was little. That's way safer then a motorcycle. Ok enough about me bitching about how idiotic my brother is. I have jsut one thing to say and hopefully people will listen: if you are stupid enough to get on a bike (or in a car) and let the driver fuck around and drive at high speed, you are responsible for what happens to you. I've seen what happens in both situations; i went home to find out one of my brother's best friends from high school was in a coma for 4 months due to a accident and one or two kids were killed that we're his friends but not like Chris Rusten. I saw what happened with my brother on the bike, he was wearing every safety piece of equipment you could have on a motorcycle; leather racing suit (which saved his life, if it wasn't for that $450 suit he wouldn't be here today) and the helmet, he still spent 6 monthes in the hospital. I don't care how much you trust a person, don't ever put yourself in that position to get nearly killed becasue someone thinks it's cool to fuck around. I know some people think bikes are awesome, just remember my brother has to live with 148 plus metal plates and screws in just his pelvis (which was shattered), a rod form his knee to his ankle and now a metal plate(s) in his knee and that's just on the left side of his body...for the rest of his life.....be smart, please. don't get on a bike and let someone jeopordize your life. I still want to kill my brother right now.
