5/26/2007 Motorcycle Crash

On May 26, 2007 I was traveling south on Route 9 into the village of Warrensburg NY. My buddy and I had just entered the 35-mph zone when I noticed he was breaking for a car that was backing up and breaking off the shoulder of the road. I reacted slow applying my breaks and subsequently over reacted and locked up my breaks throwing me into the handlebars and causing the bike to fall on my left leg, breaking my left tibia. I had a point and shoot digital camera clamped to the left side of the bike recording the ride into town. The crash destroyed the optics on the camera but it kept recording sound. The original file is 18 mins long which I cut down to 3 minutes.
