yep, twice... ugh
Jumping a car on my Redline BMX bike years ago and my seat twisted in the clamp and I ended up straddling the bar and bruised my uretha(spelling).
The second time was on a motorcycle MX250 the one before the YZ's came out. It was tricked out as a factory Racer for Barneys Yamaha and my brother and I grew up with the owners grand kids so I got it for a steal, Mike was also being scouted pretty hard by them to ride for the, anyway, I was always a lot smaller than the bikes I rode and ended up riding on the tank pretty muck. I hit a mud/much pit coming around a blind turn and put a ball dent in the metal tank on my way over the handle bars when the front tire was grabbed and stuck.
Had a huge brusing issue and a tear in my Uretha which was the cause of the blood soaking my jeans by the time I got to my feet.
Wized red for about one week solid and another week off and on...
not fun
I know it is scary (was for me) to find blood where blood ain't supposed to be, best friends and all that such as they are
I hope everything works out and the pain diminishes fast for you Joe !!!
Just listen to the doctor and there is not any shame in wrapping the bar with a pad, especially if your going to be in traffic and on city streets/sidewalks...
