The idea is to not traumatize the wound more than it already has been. I had rash from last weekend. i put the pads on an open area of rash (calf) and i have brand new skin and its all healed up whereas rash on joints (kneecap/elbows) where i couldnt keep a pad on is still thickly scabbed. Difference is night and day.
i bought 5 extra duoderm pads and cover bandage jsut in case... cause i know ill need them again!

That duoderm sounds like the tegaderm stuff i used. two weeks and i was pretty much all healed. helps with taking showers because you dont have to take it off. and keeps that stinging away. Good **** though, i recomend it to anyone.

not at the injury, just some one did the same thing as my wife.
Kane,
Sorry about your back, and I got that same road rash on my
. Hit a small jump going like 40mph and just lost my balance in the air and came down on my back. More of a jersey burn than RR. Heal up soon bro. Last edited by Sean714; Aug 8, 2006 at 12:57 PM.

I dropped my oil drain plug at 135mph on rt84. I looked in my mirror and saw a cloud of white smoke behind me. I figured it was a truck that I had passed. Then looked back a second time and realized it was me. I went to change lanes and the bike got all squirelly when it hit the rutt between lanes. I managed to slow down and get the bike shut down. The motor was smoked though. That was how I learned, the hard way, to always replace the crush washer when you change your oil. Most people, including me up until that point, just re-use the one on there. The problem is that if you've tightened it once, it's already crushed and it doesn't act as a lock washer anymore. They're .50cents from Honda. Buy 10 of them next time you're at the dealer. Well worth the investment. Always torque to spec as well. If you're a super tweaker, race wire it tool.
