On september 16 of 2007, I took a ride on my 1982 yamaha seca 400 … I had just synced the carbs and the bike was runnin good… so good.. it caught me by surprise.  As I went through an s turn, the bike accelerated better than expected.  It was dark and my headlight was angled too low, which gave me little time to see the back side of the s-curve.  I hit the brakes and skidded into the curb which dumped me into the grassy median.  I would guess I was going 35 mph when I hit.  As I fell, my left hand instinctively tried to catch my fall.  Bad idea, because I heard my forearm shatter like a tree branch snapping, then I rolled 1 time onto my right shoulder (fracturing it).  I’ve been riding since 82 and this is my first accident.

This is the result of a CT Scan done on my arm in preparation for surgery to improve movement of my tendons that are being held by excess scar tissue.

The CT Scan video didn’t visualize the data very well, so I vectorized each image and extrapolated a 3d model of my bones.  Now I can see exactly how my break is healing.
