That thing just looks like you were asking for trouble. There is not a part on that thing that looks solid...except for your hematoma.

I wonder what the top speed of that bike could be (after you heal your hematoma of course).

Is that an after picture of the bike?
Because where the headtube connects to the top tube looks sketchy as hell.

Damn impressive hematoma. You should post day by day pics of the color changes in it. In a few days it will look like a Hawaiian sunset.

yeah, the whole thing was sketchy, so i didn't ride it that fast.
I'm surprised that top tube didn't go first. The leg injury looks nasty

Your listed occupation is painter/welder. You should contact NASCAR. They appreciate mad skillz and a death defying attitude.
