Poor quality cell phone pic but you get the idea:

That's not too bad. What bike?

Rallyman · 05-23-2006

It was on a XR500 thumper (converted with street tires and front disk).

That whole chunk is a flap, you could see the tendons and Ligaments.

oh yah. ..that looks familiar. i did a little worse on a dirtbike. the cut on my right knee was 6 inches long and under the flap of skin that just hung was my entire knee cap. didnt feel too good and didnt look too good either. i ended up getting 2 layers of stiches; one layer of dissolving stitches and a top layer of regular stitches totalling 33.

Stitched up with a penrose drain.

7 grams of rock and gravel removed..lol.

was he wearing shorts or pants?
When I laid my bike down it scraped my knee real bad, couldnt shake the pain for like a month, but the jeans kept me from having that much gravel up in there.
What sucks about the knee is he is going to be feeling that one for a long time.
