No, packed with dirt. They tried to suture it, 25 stitches in they decided to just cut off the damaged tissue and let heal.

The brake rotor sliced into it like a meat slicer… literally.

Gnarly! I wont be surprised if ER staff panicked upon seeing those gnargnar scratches. It looks like you will be out for at least 6mos.

I would recommend full face, full armor and a box of hello kitty bandaid the next time you ride Spring. That place bites.

Sending healing vibes.

:cheers:
