Elder Interview with Hamza Khan

A couple years ago during 2020, Hamza and friend got into riding motorcycles, and they bought a 2006 Honda cbr 600rr and a Yamaha r6 . He admits they rode recklessly and fast during the time they had these bikes, being quite new to the motorcycle world. They obviously, like any person who just bought a bike, decided to take a four-hour road trip with the bikes up to Kelowna.
When they were going up to Kelowna Hamza had ear buds with the GPS telling him where to go. So, his friend didn’t know where to exit and he flew past the exit and Hamza had to catch back up to him to tell him they missed the exit. They turned and had to go all the way back to the exit.
On the second time around to the exit Hamza still has the GPS Bluetooth device so he only knows where to turn off and his friend is going well above the speed limit. Hamza turns into the exit as his friend is flying by, last second his friend realized that he missed it and was trying to make a last second turn going approximately 180 on a motorcycle.
As his friend attempts to make the turn and flies off the road into the barrier hitting it quite hard. Hamza stops his motorcycle and sprints to go help his friend. There’s a creek and he doesn’t know if his friend flew into the creek, so he calls his name and figures out his friend wasn’t in the creek he was off to the side a bit in the bushes. When he goes over his motorcycle suit is a bit ripped up.
As Hamza is taking off his friend’s gear to assess the injury, he notices his left leg is purple and very swollen. At the time Hamza thought it was his bone sticking out of his leg. So, he told his friend that his bone was sticking out of his leg and his friend started freaking out and going into shock. Hamza video
called his friend’s mom, a nurse, who showed her, and it turns out his bone was not sticking out of his leg, and Hamza was over exaggerating.
After this ordeal they called Hamza’s dad who has a truck with a bed in it and but the bike in the back of the bed using 3 people to pick it up. The moral of the story is if your friends or someone you might know is seriously injured, never tell them how bad it is, or they will start freaking out.
