I crashed canyon carving. 2nd time in 15 years so go figure. And I do have health Ins. Blue Cross Blue shield but I took my deduct + mininum out of pocket both 09 at the wreck and 10 for the surgeries. So? What else did I do wrong?

I am a former club racer with 5 years and an AM championship. OK I was bitching about a bad turn of events. I really dont think this was really anything more than the law of averages...It just sux!

Smilie... I agree with trip, maybe it's time for a different type of riding... I'm not saying trade it all for a DRZ or a KLR like I did.. but look at something like that. you can pick up a used KLR or DRZ for pretty cheap.

I'm looking...I pondered dropping the Buell for a 250 trifecta, A Ninja 250, a Kawi 250 'tard, and a 250 dirt bike of some brand TBD...Or maybe just one 750, LOL

Doesnt matter how I crashed really. I coulda been pushing the limits while channeling Ben Spies or skidded down on a diesel spill. I already posted about it way back last October. Any accident is rider error.
