just gonna qwickly share this story with everyone, before i go prop my "almost ripped off" foot back up, i've been runnin my new blasty, just like i ran my old one for 8 yrs., with just pegs, no floorboards, no heelgaurds, and just workboots, well that just caught up with me, after my boot laces got caught in the chain and sucked my foot back under the tire and axle, after sitting there on the bike for a few minutes (i couldnt get my foot out, so i was stuck there) i decided it was time to call 911, it took them an hour to find me in the stripjob i was riding in, by then my whole leg was numb, and i may have been close to going into shock, when they finally reached me, and said they were gonna gimme a shot of morphine, before removing me from the bike, i knew it was bad, well, i looked down right before they loaded me into the helicopter, to see my foot facing completely backwards, i ended up with a free chopper ride, a severly dislocated ankle and both bones in my lower leg broken, i know have 4 screws in the ankle, and 6 - 8 weeks with no work, all because i thought my heelgaurds looked better sittin in the garage, i'll never ride without them, or better yet, some aftermarket metal ones and some good ridin boots again, like always, i like to learn things the hard way
had i not been just putting around in second gear, it may have ripped my foot completly off, so all you guys, put those ugly heelgaurds back on, they serve a very good purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
. Like i always say, live to learn
