Just don't wear Sandshoes when starting a 500 up.

Found this reply I posted from when I had a malfunction a couple of years ago. Pic's not available sorry. Ripped my leg open when I started my '04 in the shed wearing my Nikes. It kicked back.




''I know the feeling and you were lucky with only a bruise. That same night, when I had my lady pick me up from the hospital after the surgery I must have been a little delirious from the drugs, went out to the shed on my sticks to check the blood all over the the floor and promptly passed out. Lying on the floor, next to my innocent KX5, with my leg bleeding through the bandage she rung the hospital and they said it was due to low blood pressure due to blood loss.

21 stitches, still got the scar.

First time I've passed out that way and my good lady managed to wake me and help me into bed. She's a good girl .
