Default Rider down

Had a nasty 'get off' on the way to MotoGP...head first into guard rail, partial crushed 2 thorasic vertibre (sp) in my spine...my baby's a mess...right side totaled...fully insured w/ medical so all will be well in about 6-8weeks.
still in a lot of pain so I'm gonna keep this short. No, I'm not giving up riding...ever!

I post more details when I feel up to it.


Peace

Dude I hate to hear that -- glad you're still around and able to post. The bike is replaceable. Enjoy the medication while you can Hope ya have a quick recovery and no long term affects.

So how ya doing? With me 4th day after a boo-boo or surgery is like the turning point and the healing gets easier.

Hey folks,

Sadly Limp, it happened on the way...funny thing is that I had shipped some clothes and stuff up for the weekend and it never arrived either...guess I just wasn't meant to go eh?

Chain, I'm definately feeling better day by day...the bike was a total loss, but my friend pulled off the reuseable bits...Ohlin's shock, PCIII, Corbin seat, etc. So I'm thinking either another 954 or maybe 1000RR...either way I figure I'm about 4-6 weeks from even being able to ride.

Thank you Chain, Limp & Neo for the replies.

Peace

I hope all is well, look at the positive it’s like a holiday from your bike so when you get back on, it would be like jumping on a new bike for the first time. [sm=signs003.gif]

Let the healing begin
