Male, born in 1956. I’ve wrecked two motorcycles and got some metal in my heart. I love technology!
I started working at the L.S. Starrett company in Athol, MA until it became obvious to everyone but me that I was gay. Company said “Seek treatment for your condition or else.” So I did. Didn’t work out the way Starrett’s planned. The APA had removed or was about to remove homosexuality from their list of treatable (billable?) illnesses. I like me just the way I am so I moved to New Hampshire in 1976.
In 1984 my motorcycle was truck from behind in a hit and run accident.
Not a pretty start.
I spent a week and one half in the Eliot being flipped with a pancake and having the sheet peeled from my back. I wear a minimum of a leather scooter jacket now for running to the market and leather chaps and boots for longer jaunts.
We need to pull the sheet off your back Mr.Joly. Grab onto that bar under the mattress -- You can't bend that.
Yeah, all you need to do is go through this once wearing a Bell helmet, jogging shorts and a thread-bare athletic shirt before you decide that ain’t enough protection.
Art at home in halo vest traction.
I wore this rig for four months before it could be safely removed and replaced with a foam rubber support collar.
