Hey there it’s your favorite Killaahhhh .
As most of you know I just started a new job at Laidlaw‘s Harley Davidson about 2 months ago . I commute 80 miles a day from El Segundo to Baldwin Park on my purple dyna . Since I’m so new to the shop I don’t currently fall under their healthcare eligibility .
Friday 9/10/21 I was leaving the shop about 630 and headed home to Stella .
You ever have those feelings that end up being spot on and not in a good way … i had a feeling someone was going to hit me on my HOG .
It was just before the signs for the 5 , I was fully in the carpool lane riding with the flow of traffic about 40 to 50 miles an hour . A white 4 door Toyota/Honda small car w Tinted windows and 3 faces staring directly at me from the back seat , decided to slam on their brakes in the quickly moving traffic and try to cross the double yellows to enter dead stop traffic . The car stopped halfway in the middle . I had about 20 or 30 feet to figure out how it’s going to avoid this . I just slam my shit and said fuck it here we go . I remained in the carpool lane the entire time my front end went into their license plate ripping off the rear bumper and bending my front forks snd fairing . My body tumbled on top of their trunk and then I landed face first helmet down onto the 405 followed by my collarbone and shoulder blade , then my mid back which I just broke a year ago .
I had to jump right up I was expecting one of the cars on the freeway to run me over . My adrenaline kept me alive I was able to get my phone off my bike and make a phone call to my mom into 911 . I looked down and saw my purple people leader smash totaled it on its side . Two men were nice enough to start to pick the bike up I started to say hey where is that white car . They sped up and try to use the HOV lane to cut off the rest of the traffic and get away . Two nice men on a white and a teal vicla style Harley Davidson pulled up behind me . I begged them to run up and chase that white car before they were able to rush into traffic and get away . And they did . It’s wild with his Harley Davidson motorcycle community does for each other .
When everything started to settle in I could feel that my shoulder was not OK this is the first time I’ve ever broken a bone besides six in my back last year .
Thankfully an ambulance happen to be in traffic with us and was able to administer care until the fire department highway patrol in the actual ambulance came to assist me . I was a fucking mess , did this really happen …
I was taken to Saint Francis trauma center where they did x-rays CAT scans MRIs come to find out that I have a broken collarbone broken shoulder blade road rash all over my body and like fractures in other places .
I’m still currently paying on my max out-of-pocket for my accident last year I broke my spine . This year I don’t have health insurance and everything is going to be on me .
Now i love my job selling harleys and I’ve had my online boutique for six years but neither of those two incomes is going to be able to afford the amount that the surgeries are going to cost me . All I wanna do is ride right now , ya know , that one thing that takes your mind off of everything else ….
I’m laying alone in this hospital bed with the staff treating me like garbage bc I’m screaming fuuvccckkk instead of crying ouch when in pain snd i don’t have health insurance … their favorite.
Times like these show you who’s down for you , what contingencies hold people back , and most of all who just talks a big game .
Anything and everything is appreciated . If you can donate to this fund , I’m stoked . If you want to purchase some thing off my clothing store , so stoked . If you just want to come over and visit me and help me figure out how to navigate my world with just one arm that’d be dope too .
I don’t like myself in dark places alone , it’s a scary place for me to be , so here’s me having the courage to ask for help .
