Ok so..
I was riding with a few buddies of mine a few days ago and we were at a place called the flats...(in Revelstoke BC..if anyones been there, they know its an amazing place to ride) And we were just rippin along and all of a sudden...
Im in the air...
First thing i do is look down, i see water then i realize im going straight for the 60% enbankment on the other side and ditch the bike. Now i have a broken arm, 3 ripped tendons in my shoulder and a broken wrist....
now..just to put this into perspective, i was going about 80kmph and the river was about 20 feet across so i hit the bottom, more slanted part of the bank. The jaw strap part on my full face...well...it literally snapped in half.
But get this, the bike (06' crf150f) flipped like 4 or 5 times and landed on top of the bank..somehow, i dont know, i was out cold haha AND ALL THAT RESULTED WAS BENT HANDLE BARS......gotta love thows hondas for thier reliability haha
So my question is... should i bend them back..or just get new ones? i was thinking a pair of renthals would be good enough
Thank god I was only riding a 150, if i was on a bigger bike i probably would have died..or not been able to ride again
but luckily i can, in about 3 months or so
If anyone could help...that would be great
