~The Banshee hates me~

[SHOWTIME]

So its a nice sunny Sunday morning, 70 degress and not a cloud
in the sky. A dunners dream! The Banshees get loaded on to the
trailers and we head to Pismo. On the previous ride, the shee was
running kinda funny...so now the carbs are clean, and every thing
looks great. We get to Pismo and unload the shees. I start it up
and ride it around for a bit, still running crappy, then the left cylinder
dies...damn it the plug is toast! This is where things take a turn for
the worse! I walk to the vendor to get a new plug, I figure that I
might as well get two. The guy gives me the total...I just stare at him
then at the register...10 bucks for 2 plugs!!! What the Hell!!! Well at
this point its either pay it or go home, so I pay it. So new plugs are in
and off I go. So im riding but the damn thing is still running crappy. I
let my bro ride it, and he agrees that its not running correctly. Then it
randomly starts shutting off. I will ride a few feet, then it dies. Im very
angry at this point. So we decide to head back to the truck. It dies on
me again, at this point, I can see the truck and trailer in the distance,
so I start the bike again, then start riding like a bat out of hell towards
the truck. (This is stupid on my part, knowing that the bike is not running
correctly) So im at the top of fourth gear, im really movin! I see a small
incline in the sand ahead of me and figure that its no problem. Then it
happens...the bike shuts off...just as if some one turned the key off.
So Im at the incline now, with the force and speed of pinned 4th gear,
yet no torq to pop up the front. Yep...I hit the incline...the shee bucks
my ass off of the seat, but Ill be damned if I let go. I start to fly off the
front of the atv but am able to pull myself back, left foot gets back onto the
left footpeg, then I go to put my right foot onto the right peg...ooooh
shit! I miss the peg!!! The paddle sucks in my right foot...at this point I
feel like Im being eaten by a shark. The shee then rools, I ragdoll to the
right, limbs flopping in every direction, then land on my back and slam
the back of my head on the ground. Im laying there in the sand, wind
has been freaken knocked out of me, I cant feel any thing...Im in shock.
Im praying that Im not paralized. My dad and my bro bolt over to me
to make sure Im ok and they help me up. Crazy enough, nuthin is broken!
So we get home, I look at my leg, its not lookin so good from the battle
with the rear paddle tire. Luckily I was wearing high rise riding boots, but
some how was able to jack up my ankle. Its now swolen, black,blue, and
yellow. I woke up this morning my whole body feels like some one beat me
with a baseball bat. It really hurts to move....what sucks more, Im typing
this from work haha.

Carnage to bike:
Bars are destroyed, and left foot peg is toast.
my leg was like a human pipe bender. It was
wedged between the peg and the paddle tire
and bent the peg all the way foreward hahaa!

Damn!!!!! Sounds bad but it could of been worse! Get well soon bro!
Good thing the bars took the hit instead of your steering stem & frame!
