    E8CAEB6B-C3D5-4C6D-9221-FAB3725ECDAB.jpeg I was reminded on FB today. This is 2 weeks after the crash. I’ve been better lol

    Good to be alive and still riding. The end.

    Carry on

    No unfortunately. Deals Gap. I live way too close (9 miles). Hit this after hitting a huge oil slick from a cruiser/Corvette head on just an hour before I came thru. CE6DE624-36B6-4D7B-9094-44749051D20B.jpeg

    Yes. 3 months in total.

    Broke my back 3x the yr before too. Another life flight. Low sided a supermoto into a car. Duh.

    of all the crashes you've written about. The one at Tally amazes me. No way I could just step off going into the bowl

    glad you made it through... probably twice as dangerous there as a patient! :(

    Sounds like it's time for a new hobby.

    Probably not.

    Sometimes getting back on the saddle is the only motivation to keep on going and get through stuff. Good on you for keep on riding!

    Was the cruiser/corvette head-on captured by killboy or one of the others out there taking pictures? I remember seeing a picture sequence of of a cruiser running wide in a corner and nailing a corvette.

    Lots of stuff in life beyond bikes, especially when you're on the gurney more than your bike. :D Maybe a stretch of bad luck, comes in three's ya know. Better put on a project grizzly suit for your next outing.

    Oil I hit. I guess I didn’t see it in these Fall shadows. I still have zero memory of that day. Just woke up in ICU days later with my pissed off wife standing over me. CFFB2EC7-44CB-4086-8C70-C6DEB03800A1.jpeg

    Yeah, that is the one I was thinking of. That really sucks.

    Was the best option. Self preservation. 130ish on an open class superbike w no brakes at either end? No thanks. I get off here! To this day I think that saved my life prolly.
