Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

And since it's the motorcycle thread.....still riding to work

 

they are concerned about my issue but they dont think its dire yet since nothing has snapped or broken yet lol so they said i can wait which im sure i can ive dealt with the pain for over a week now i just want it gone haha

thats nuts man haha no places around here usually do that unless its a minclinic or somethin

 

ive been volenthreatened by friends and family to stay off my bike until i get things sorted out with my wrist again haha

 

Real glad I didn’t ride in today.. roads were fine this AM, not sure what they’re like after getting a couple inches of heavy snow throughout the day.

 

It sounds to me like your doc's office did the right thing if it's not emergent. People forget the meaning of "Emergency" when an Emergency Room is involved

That's a lot of cocaine

 

haha very true man!

 

Rode to work, rode to dinner with family before they head back up to Virginia, got to ride along the gulf with this beautiful sunset.

 

Don't mind me.....I'm just jaded b/c I see how people treat this place like a primary care.....and then turn around and bitch about wait times

We see close to 100 pts a day out of a 10 bed ER and most are non-emergent. Double edged sword b/c without the pts.....we'd lose staff

I do think that if you're hand isn't turning blue or staying numb......it can be handled in the office or outpatient.

 

When are you coming to VA

 

yup that is true ill admit thou the first er i went to when i had my accident the wait time was pretty nuts especially since some dude in front of me had part of a saw in his head and he was bleeding pretty badly and they just came over and gave him more of the wrap stuff and said we will see you in 5mins like bro the old man looked dead... so i called my buddy and he got me out of that place and i went to the hospital im with now and i was in and out within 30mins to an hour

 

Thinking early May, my dad and I are talking about trailering the bikes up, once we get to section two of the MA BDR we will spend the night, take the bikes up to the intersection of the BDR and 250, and then ride 250 over to Madison, and my Mom and my Wife will bring the vehicle and trailer up to meet us.

Still working on the final plan.

 

I gotta get my wife to drive something with a trailer, so i can go farther haha. I havent done the MA BDR, but hear its much tamer than others. Im interested in trying the NE.

 

NE? ive heard of the BDR not the NE thou

 

There are different sections.

MA - mid Atlantic
NE - North East
WA - Washington
Etc

 

Oh yea its tame, could do it on anything really, did er a few years ago, was a blast , even on my fully loaded adv bike

 

oooh i see is one called hell for the midwest?

 

I don't think you have one. Too flat

But maybe you're close to the TAT?

 

haha it do be pretty flat out here but some neat places to go just not many haha

TAT? like Tennessee?

 

TAT is transamerican trail: https://www.transamtrail.com/



Current BDR's are:

Washington
Oregon
Idaho
Colorado
Wyoming
Utah
Southern California
North East
Mid Atlantic
Nevada
New Mexico
Arizona

Backcountry Discovery Routes are set up by a non-profit company, not sure who administers the TAT, and come out with a new route usually annually. They typically run the entire length or width of the state or region they're in and are straight line routes. They started coming out with BDRX routes that are round trip circular ones.

I had plans to do the WABDR about 4 years ago with a buddy from high school, but he ended up having a kid two weeks before we were supposed to leave. Whomp whomp. Haven't made it back out to do one yet, but I'd still like to do WA, ID, and OR in that order.

 

ooooh i gotcha ya none of those are near me haha the tat closest point is in Arkansas and thats 6ish hours away??
