I can only pray for crappy riding conditions.
Well that's a crappy wish. What, if you can't ride, nobody else shouldn't either?

Nice catch on the Kamikazi/Hawaii relationship Camaro...what's that all about?

Common known definition of kamikaze is "crazy or suicidal". Japanese to English translation is "Divine Wind". From research that I have done, most kamikaze pilotswere devoted countrymen. The mentality of being the didvine wind, is that these people were willing to die for FAMILY, HONOR, and COUNTRY just like me.

That and it's also a nickname given to me by my friends because of the way I ride.

I went through the same thing in may. It is really not that big of a deal. i was honestly out of my sling in less then 3 weeks. and back to work after 30 days. Unfortunatly it didnt fix it. they missed a few things and i have to have another surgery on it next month. but im not to worried about it. Its a really easy thing to deal with. GOOD LUCK. hope it goes as well for you as it did me.

Well, my riding season is over for a few months. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. Doctor says, 4-6 weeks in a sling, then 6 months to a year of physical therapy. Hopefully I'll be able to ride in 3 or 4 months.

I have mine done for the second time on the 23rd of this month...but i also have rotator cuff to deal with..they are predicting 4-5 months in a sling and 18 months of not doing anything with it. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE CARE OF IT MAN. or your right in with me. and the second time is 100x worse. pain medicine will be your best friend for the next month or so..very addicting, so watch it. good luck..enjoy the nice vacation haha!
