Gross!

No, I don't mean the blinding whiteness I'm flashing at everyone. Although that's not a pretty sight either.
That's my leg! All my skin is gone!
These wounds tell the story of last weekend's adventures. I wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I obviously didn't do so well.
(However, I maintain that it's not my fault. How was I supposed to know that there was a hand brake
and a foot brake? How was I supposed to know that you're not supposed to turn on dirt and use the hand brake at the same time? How was I supposed to know that it could just slide right out from under you with no warning? Someone should have told me these important things!)
The red, fleshless, oozing sore is a burn from the engine. The purple-edged, yellowish-grey spot is where something hard poked me. That is one deep bruise.
And, it's been eight days and I still look like this!
I didn't take photo's of the huge bruises on my thigh and arm. Or the gravel embedded in my palm. Or the road rash covering my everything.
Word to the wise. Practice a little more before trying to keep up with the men.
