  • Dang, same story here, haha. I was ATVing and went off a jump, but broke my left scapula. And I've been training for my wrestling career :P

  • Bullshit. You broke your arm doing your little push start trick didn't ya!

  • hey where are you from in ca?

  • I was riding my Kymco People 150 and a women ran a stop sign and hit me. I broke my scapula, 6 ribs, and clavicle. Had a punchurd lung which resolved itself. I was a lucky girl. Am afraid to continue riding for this has been a rough road for me. (healing process). Thanks for sharing and be safe!

  • hey, i like last of the mohicans too! keep ridin safe, friendo!

  • i was riding my xr250(dirt bike) with a couple friends and we pulled in my drive way and we just got fresh gravel, and it was super loose. when we pulled in i was in 4th gear topped out, cuz we were racing to get back first, and i went down on the gravel, broke both palms, fractured knee and my bike was fine. gotta love it.

  • PILLS PILLS! yes for pills that make you trip!

  • You haved a nice kawasaki ninja zxr, but i am sorry. Can you show us photos with motorcycle ?

  • In California it is legal to go in between the cars? Meaning it's illegal in other states? Man, in my country you'd be too polite to not go in between the cars.

  • You're lucky, I broke my femur, tibia and fibula and I dislocated my knee on the same leg. Gear saved my ass, then again I was going sub 40. Will probably ride again once my gear is replenished and I comfortably walk again. Hopefully end this month at least January first :\

  • Geez man, you better now? I warned you like 2 years ago to get a car man, this is why O.o

  • Awe Ben, you poor thing. It's ok to feel sad.... makes you more of a man.

    I hope you recovery quickly....all the best.

  • atleast your still breathing man, thats what matters, that bike for sale btw? lol

  • you are a legend man. ive had like 10 crashes in like the year ive been riding and they have varied from 15-50mph and i havnt been wearing anything but my leather jacket and helmet and on one occasion i wasnt even wearing my jacket and ive never broken a bone from a bike crash just walked off a bit scraped up and with a limp or summat. how long have you been riding?

  • @immortalit3 Been riding 4 years but I just sold my moto recently because the engine blew. Gunna get a car now.

  • @shaykai DONT GO TO THE DARK SIDE.

  • im 17 years old about to be 18 next month and i want a bike like yours man all my years till 3 weeks ago i told my sell shit i love cars and customizing them but then when i road my grampa's motorcycle (motormax) - (classic) i realized that i really love motorcycle's u feel the breeze and smoothness and u can fleel the smooth turning amd engine right under u it makes it GREAT ! ... i love ur bike still lool !

  • To hell with anyone that calls you stupid for crashing in this instance. Could have happened to anyone. Don't stop riding, and I'm sure you won't.

  • My understanding is that lane-splitting is just not specifically listed as ILlegal in CA. The simple fact that it isn't illegal doesn't mean it's safe or reasonable.

    Sorry bout your crash dude. Sucks.

  • you are my hero. from straight razors, to throwing knives, to boxing, to improvised weapons (canes, wooden swords, etc.), and finally motorcycles, you do everything i do, but you do it better. question: what do you do for a living?

  • @cjmackie100 Thanks CJmackie, I appreciate the compliment. I actually fix bicycles for a living right now, but I am shooting to join the fire department and also become a part time hypnotist.

  • oh im wearing a helmet, it doesnt matter. PILLS PILLS!!!!

  • Too bad about your sholder i hope that heals up right for you. I just had my first bad accident two weeks ago. "turning into sand that i had not seen on a night ride with some prospects" really embarising but these things happen. Keep riding hard man.

  • I know how it feels to have your life put on hold because of surgery. I tore my labrum skiing in february and I'm going to be doing a whole lot of nothing till next year. I also play baseball and I'm a pitcher haha so no baseball this season but hopefully i'll be good for next season. Sorry you had to go through this, surgery sucks!

  • Lol, what do these crashes tell you about motorcycles Ben? My brother died in a motorcycle doing almost the exact same thing as you but we was going 15mph and a hummer went over his helmet in crushed his skull I advise you to sell the motorcycle and get a real car...

  • @VulgarityDivine Nah, I love riding too much. In life sometimes you need to take risks to have fun. If I was worrying about dying I would never ride in a car (cars are still dangerous! I had a friend who died in a car accident), I wouldn't take any marital arts, I would never leave the house. For me a certain amount of risk is what makes life interesting.

  • @shaykai True. But different activities carry different levels of risk. I'm kind of grappling with whether to quit riding myself, as I totaled my bike a month ago after I lost it on a corner (completely my fault).

  • I would keep the trousers. Without them your knee would be fucked up. They are like an old dog. Don't put them down after they did so much for you :)

  • You seem like a great person, hope you healed well.

  • saw the handwraps on the door before you started talking about golden gloves and was like" shit he wont be throwing power shots any time soon".

  • the music made me cry

  • Theme to "Last of the Mohicans"

  • hi ben its lewisj8 i forgot my password to lewisj8 so plz add me back!!

  • i was riding a wheely on my cr250 do about 65 on my dirt road when i went over backwards and all i was wearing was a helmet short sleeve shirt and pants and i got a lot of rocks in my back but all i did was go soak in the tub till the dirt was out it burned so bad.

  • "it ended up scratching the helmet pretty bad, which i think is cool looking." haha... love the videos and ride safe

  • my brother flipped a jeep and walked away with a few bruises he totaled the car

  • Fuck off. That's how we all feel when we're injured.

  • you have a apartment and a ninja... and you say you are poor?!?

  • @svamse dont forget the guitar

  • did you get kinda of unlucky with your injuries for 30MPH? i crashed on my scooter at 40mph and walked (limped) away with a very bruised leg.. nice bike btw =]

  • You honesty is refreshing. Best of luck with the scap repair. Ride on Brother!

  • yeah that sucks man. you know my mom doesnt hardly let me get any thing that can hurt me i tell her id rather die at the age of 30 and know that i had a fun exciting thrilling life then to die at 90 and not have done a thing and yes 30 mph can fuck you up i was lucky im 14 an i rode down a hill on a pocket bike known as the ninja x2 but i was close to the grass and fell toward it when i had an orange thrown at me by a friend haha but all i got was a sprained wrist and some bruises.

  • Sorry to hear about your crash, Ben. But it sounds like you've mended well by now, and you have a positive attitude about it. I liked how you edited your "pity party". Funny stuff.

    I wonder, after a serious crash caused by a locked-up front wheel, are you considering getting a bike with ABS for street riding?

  • Nope, no ABS for me. I mean I wouldn't mind having a VFR or something with ABS, that will probably be my next bike but that is waaaaaaay down the road. I did some investigating later and i found out that not only was my front tire bald, but it was overinflated by like 8lbs. I had switched the rear and the front PSI ratings on accident last time I filled them up which is also part of the reason why I crashed. Everything is to spec now and it stops like a dream :-)

  • hey Ben Hows the Arm doing 3 months later?!?! hope ur feeling better

  • Its in tip top shape :) Thanks for asking.

  • hi i need some advice Ben...I am kind of crazy and I love speed. I own 2 sports cars that I have heavly modified for racing... I want to buy a sports bike and I am planning on using it the right way but I dnt know if thats going to happen. What do u suggest???

  • I would be really hesitant to suggest you get a bike. As you can see, my accident was only 30-35mph and it fucked me up really bad, and I was wearing FULL leathers from head to toe. I would stick to sports cars unless you plan on just getting a bike for the track. Once I get my own car I might turn my motorcycle into a dedicated track bike, its a ton safer and you can't get speeding tickets! Just my 2 cents. You should check out my website, I link to it in my channel page.

  • Even though lane splitting was legal for him it just doesn't seem worth it. It's illegal in my state and I can see how that is a risky maneuver.

  • I actually think that lane splitting prevents more accidents than it causes. But thats just my 2 cents.

  • thats true, its much safer to have motorcycles in the front than pinched between cars, and cars problem with it is being stuck behind bikes which makes no sense because by the time a car is at 10 miles an hour a bike is two blocks down the street

  • emo song lol

  • u should make a donations website :p

  • That sucks! hopefully you took out one of those fuggly self righteous Hybrids....

    I downed my 2005 zx-636 2 week after I bought it (SQUID! LOL) in a round about gear+frame sliders Helped + only a couple VERY minor scratches on the bike when you fix it keep and eye out for lockhart phillip's no-cut frame sliders!

  • why are you playing the last of the mohicans in the background?!

  • Because i'm epic like that. ;)

    Ben

  • you got very lucky

  • No back protector? Could have saved your shoulder. I never ride without one. Whatever, heal quickly mate, luck and peace.

  • dude that suck about ur arm

  • nice vid, kick me down some pills man!

    sharing is caring.

  • Was it a high side wreck? Those are terrible! Regardless, a crash always shakes you. Get riding again as soon as you can!

  • Well it was kind of a high side, basically the bike just fell on its side at 30mph. The bike wasn't behind me or in front of me, just to the side. That being said, I have highsided before at like 20mph and it was NOT fun.

  • get better man

  • ..oh~god...........

  • I guess you could learn how to throw knives with your left hand and make another "how to" video.

  • Haha I know I should. I was actually invited to go on a TV show a few days ago and throw knives but I had to turn them down because I can't throw with my left hand. Bummer huh?

  • Get better. I'm not a motorcycle driver yet, but plan to be : one of the most important things I've been told is to always think "This is day I'm having and accident", so you are always ready (wearing the right clothes, the bike always in prime condition and driving safe)

  • Yep that is great advice. I just though my margin of safety was greater than it was, I'm just glad I was wearing full gear.

  • Yes, I'm glad you were. Consider saving money for the bike mantainace, even if it means buying less knives each month...

  • Ben I love your videos bro 5 stars. I am sorry you got all busted up. Hey bro I don't mean to put a downer on your healing process but they told me 2 months with my foot and a year and a half later and it being misdiagnosed 6 times I am probably having surgery in the new year. I am glad you are okay though. I remember your motorcycle gear safety video and obviously it helped you . Nice ending of the vid with the pity part and music and the the Dilaudid that stuff is strong.

    Get better

    Rick

  • Well I'm hoping I have a bit better luck with my shoulder than you did with your foot. It would suck if I was never able to properly punch again. Hah, maybe you could make some videos demonstrating what you can do to defend yourself with only your left hand? I feel like I could jab pretty well, and I always carry a knife with me, but I rarely practice with my left. I guess it's time to start ;)

  • I am not golden glove quality like you but I made a one arm fighting video for you today .

  • sorry, lol not ant. deltoid, but outa all honesty man, do good, take care of yourself man, listen to your physician, heal.

  • ooh, that sucks dude, muscles on that scapula... supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major, teres minor, subscapularis, ant. middle, and post. deltoid, to name a few... mmm. sux. take care of yourself man. Oh and love your site, bestbeginnersmotorcycles

  • Thanks jhicks. I wonder if it is better that the scapula is mainly attached with muscles than with bone... It should make the healing process a little more interesting. :P

  • Glad you're ok bro. Good video though, man, and keep your chin up. and thanks for your comments on my vids :)

  • No problem man, I look forward to seeing some more videos of yours!

  • lol

  • I really enjoy watching you my friend!

  • dang man that sux ALOT thank god u didnt die!

  • I guess it just means you'll be one year stronger.

  • oh damn your helmet looks fucked up, you where lucky dude.

    good luck ^^

  • Man, a fractured scapula? how can you sleep?! It's cool to ride motorcycle and all but it's way too risky for my taste. I rather ride bicycle or walk, mainly because I don't have money to get a motorcycle. Do you know how much are motorcycles nowadays?

  • You can get a decent used motorcycle for 2000-5000 dollars. My bike cost me 3800 when I bought it.

  • Oh fuck dude.

  • Be careful with that Dilaudid only take the amount your doctor tells you to take. Too much can cause Hypoventilation (respiratory depression) meaning it slows down your breathing that can be life threatening.

  • Roger that, I'll definitely follow the directions :D

    Ben

  • I guess your boxing match is on the hold now :-(

  • Yeah I'll have to shoot for 2010 instead of 2009 :(

  • That really isn't too awesome but it's good that you can still make fun of such a situation. I hope your shoulder and arm heal really fast. I've actually wanted to buy a motorcycle myself but my father won't let me because of such situations haha... I don't plan on showing him this. Best of health!

  • Motorcycles are a blast man but they really are dangerous. I always knew they were which is why I always gear up before I ride and as you can see it definitely paid off. I would have been a lot more injured if I didn't have all that leather between me and the pavement. Now instead of being a bloody mess i'm just beat up, but intact :P

  • Yes you are very right. I see people speeding down the road in just jeans and a jacket and a helmet. I just wonder how badly they are going to get messed up if they get into an accident. It's good your smart unlike others. Oh and i watched your video on your motorcycle equipment and i was thinking about how you showed what would happen if you just wore jeans and they got rocked. It's good you take your own advice haha

  • Haha yes I am really glad I followed my advice. My knee would have been MESSED UP!

  • dude that sucks im sorry. dont throw away that jacket though its really cool ha. i have been planning to buy a motorcycle for a while now but cant come up with the money. thats the jacket i want too :) do you know if they still sell them? well man good luck with your arm.

  • I think you can get them on ebay, that's where I got mine a few years ago. You should check out shifts 2009 line up though, they have some GREAT looking jackets. I think at the very least I might take out the armor on this jacket and just wear it off the bike, I really like the look of it.

  • cool i saw them on ebay but they only have small :/ what size do you wear? youre about my size

  • I wear a small and I'm 5'9 about 155 lbs.

  • BEN!!!
