yeah the helicopter landing right beside me just as the morphine kicked in was awsome, like a vietnam movie, and seeing my leg at a 30 degree angle and my foot facing completely backwards was cool as hell !!!!!
all becuased my boot laces got caught in the chain and winched my leg back under the axle,
but at least my stock floorboards and heelgaurds didnt get damaged, they were hangin on the wall back in the garage safe and sound.
they went back on as soon as i got out of the hospital, and even though i couldnt walk or work, for 16 weeks, i bolted a golf club to my shifter for hand shifting, and rode within 2 weeks
as of now i have pro armor nerfs/heelgaurds going on my bike soon, and have nerfs with yfz heelgaurds on my sons bike
i rode my '96 for 8 years with just pegs, but will never do so again, no matter how cool it looks or how lucky or tough you think you are, it only takes once, it wont happen to me twice!!!!!
locsta has a set of yfz gaurds for sale right now, great price too, they bolt right on to the pegs and require a small aluminum bracket in back, and the nerfs fit right up to them
