Stabbed by a throttle...

Did any of you guys hear about Levi LaVallee getting stabbed by his own throttle? I guess he hit it when he went over the handle bars and a 2 inch chunk broke off inside his leg... can't imagine that felt very good!!! The plastic didn't show up on the xray but the thumbwarmer did. The doctor had to fish it out along with some other bits n pieces that broke off.

Note to self... wear 2 pairs of pants next time!

Haha SuZ!!!! Too funny!
Levi said he thought he had a charlie horse cuz his leg was throbbing so bad, it wasn't until he noticed the blood coming thru the hole in his pants did he realize it was a little more serious than a charlie horse. He had a decent size hole in his leg, I guess you could see the muscle n everything..... buhhhhh painful!
