Two Wheels

Scott has a motorcycle....excuse me....Scott HAD a motorcycle.  He went to go for a ride with his dad on Saturday morning, somebody pulled out in front of him, and he had to lay the bike down in order to avoid hitting the car.  Now his possession of a motorcycle is definitely in the past tense.  That is not a fun call to receive on a beautiful Saturday morning.  


We spent all day at the ER waiting to get his road rash scrubbed out and for x-rays.


The official diagnosis was a fractured radial head (elbow).  He had to wear a splint for five days and now has to take it easy for a week or two.


The fact that he walked away from this accident with so few injuries is amazing and this whole experience has just reaffirmed my dislike of motorcycles.  Silver lining - Scott's feeling about his motorcycle has definitely soured after all of this as well. 
So now he's looking for a new hobby.....any ideas?
