Oh my, hope it heals well.

Don't feel silly about burning yourself on a bike muffler......its a given.

Don't believe me, ask anyone who has owned one more than a month,  you will burn yourself.

NO, silly is when you take the baler apart to fix one of the guides/guards (for the um-teenth time Smiley ) and heat the mounting plate with a torch to beat it back into shape, then weld.  Then, once done welding, you cut power to the torch, take it out of the clamp, and as it drops as it should (per Newton and Gravity) you forget and try to catch it with the hand that you were NOT wearing the welding glove on......now THATS silly.

and man did I pay for it. Shocked

God bless you and speed your healing,

Farmer



Ouch man. Well this isn't the first time I burned myself either. Second time on a bike but other times by stupidity. I feel for ya.

It's good. Thanks Z. Usually there is scarring with a second degree burn but the scab came off last night and it's just red. For something that was the size of the coaster, it healed pretty quickly.

Hey Webhead, great to hear your burn healed and
did not get infected. That could have caused some
serious problems.
Hope you get to ride soon and try out the new fork
brace.  Give us a ride report and pics.. Smiley kim

Thanks Kim. It's still raining in NY. I probably won't be able to get out until Sunday. I'll let everyone know ho the forkbrace goes.

Is that why your handle is stinger? LOL. Sorry. I think everyone cringed when you said hot coffee and your crotch.  Embarrassed You don't ever hear stories of anyone getting into an accident like that and anything good coming out of it.

Remember scrambler pipes!
The very first time I got on the back of a "scrambler" I was wearing shorts. The inside of my right leg was stuck to the pipe when I got off. Yes Virginia, I got off really really quick!
