Eye to Eye

1974 and I had a Honda 750-4. I was 18 and had zero time on a bike prior to buying this honda. I was a real expert. I was working security at a local hospital overnights and went to school in the day so I did not bother with the endorsement or training class. Always too tired. On morning I am riding home in the rain at about 4 AM. I take a lazy curve on a city street a little quick and I run right into about 5 inches of standing water in the road. The bike hydroplanes and I end up in somebodys front lawn before I even realize there is a problem. The bike slid across wet grass so no real damage to bike. I stand up and check out the bike. I suddenly feel a terrible burning sensation in my crotch and down one leg. I had my rain gear on and there were no rips or anything but when your crotch is burning you take it very serious. I figured it was road rash at first. But no way on wet grass. It hurt like hell. I only had about a mile to go so I got back on the bike and rode home. I got home and the burning was crazy. I got to my room and peeled off the rain pants and my eyes started burning. I kept looking for a cut or rip and road rash through the tears rolling down my cheeks. All I found was an exploded can of mace that was on my duty belt from work.

that mace shits no joke. I got sprayed with %18 OC in the eyes as part of an excersize

I'd drive head on into a mac truck before I do that again.

a couple of my friends were fighting over a thing of mace in the balcony of our church one sunday. all of a sudden you heard "pshhht"... for about a half second. my two friends coughed a little but for the most part no one in the balcony caught it...
but then we heard it.
a cough down in the church. then a few more. what little came out was making its way up the church and slowley the entire congregation was coughing. they ended up coughing so bad they had to move the congregation to another room in the church .they all thought it was demons afterward. we felt horrible, but it was still the funniest thing i have ever been a party to.
i know, i am going to hell.

my Aunt used to have one of those little keychain bottles, we went to Worlds of Fun (local theme park) and she didn't have her purse, so my brother put the keys in his pocket, about an hour or so later his eyes started burning, the can was leaking. I laughed hard about that all day long, then a few years ago I had to get sprayed with OC spray in order to carry it for work, you have to know it's effects (I was in private security) I thought back to my brother and my laughing, and I felt kinda bad, and no I didn't tell him I had to get sprayed :D

Ya know what's funny? Hang out with guys that have had to go through OC spray training...have a crew in one office...walk up to the door shaking an aerosol can (air freshener) and ask, "Think this pepper spray is still good?" Make about a 4 second burst and see how long it takes the room to clear! :D Imagination and memory are wonderful things ;)!

I work contract security now, and I am currently on the city of Greensboro contract. I have been certified in firearms, oc, baton, and cuffs, and all has gone well.... until here recently.

We found out a couple weeks ago, that when we went through OC class back in february, the man who sprayed us (who happened to be the swat commander of the local PD) was not technically certified through PPSB (Private protective services board) to spray us........................... so now, we like 10-12 guys that got sprayed in Feb. get to do it again in exactly ....... 8 days... YAY!

[briang]

Wow that blows.

[iamgumby]

I'd invite Mr. Swat along for the refresher course, too. Bet he backs up.

[gkim4107]

haha wish I could. we got sprayed with 10 percent the first time, and get to recieve 18 percent this next time, either way it sucks, and I have accepted that lol. Shit still sucks though.

I wouldn't have bothered to make it home. I would have excused myself into the bushes to make sure everything is ok! That is something you do NOT want to have go wrong on you. Plus, if something was wrong, that's another mile sitting on it, potentially making it that much worse.
