I don't think dual sports are your thing... but there's a shit ton of fun to be had especially in your Local on them. and for the record I have 10x the fun on my DRZ being a hooligan under 65 that I did on my RR at 65+...

maybe get yourself a 'tard
Won't be on the streets in probably years. For me, for my wife, for my family. Track only for a while.

Dude, you are a pussy. You're not a real biker until you've had a few skin grafts, get out there (without your leather) and go earn yourself a real biker badge of honor!

Yup. Going through the circumstances, I shouldn't be around. Not a lot of people have had a 100+ wreck on the street and was walking three weeks later ( I haven't used my crutches all day ).

No doubt!


but don't try to force the recovery too quick... the back is one thing you don't want being an issue through out life... that shit will take the fun out of life QUICK!

Just discovered I'm getting 9500 from my insurance company for the loss. I owe 6500. That'll help with all the gear I gotta buy again!

I was just going to ask how you were progressing. Crutches suck ass, hard. I got some mobilegs, I don't think I would be anywhere as mobile as I am without them.

I'll second the "take it easy" comment. Healing right is SO important.

Congratulations on the $$...
