    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Thx man..

Bike is gone rolled end for end, I was riding with several buddies and a constuction truck pulled out to block one lane without first setting up cones down the road. As I came overthe hill I had about 150 feet to brake at 70mph..I braked hard on the front and then rear which sent me into a side skid where I side swiped a buddy who had skidded sideways to a stop, that sent me catapolting through the air for about 30 feet, landed on my shoulder and head and slid on my back into the ditch ( so I was told )broken scapula and 19 stitches in the front of my shin (front lower left leg) Really freakin sore today gonna be out for a few weeks.

Sounds like the way I went flying when I had my last accident in about '90. We were riding out by Medina Lake when a car came around a corner in my lane. I ended up riding downhill on a grassy shoulder about 40' wide. I could have ridden it out even though steering and braking was out of the question. I ended up going over a 2' diameter drain and getting thrown over the bars. The bike and I tumbled probably 150' on caliche at that point. The first thing to hit was my shoulder and head. I sat up and the first thing I thought about was the bike. Funny how your first reaction is "How is the bike?"
 
Hey feel better, Joe! No doubt ... for the next few days you're going to feel like you were "hit by a truck."

THANK GOODNESS YOU WEREN'T HIT BY A TRUCK!!!
(Hope I didn't make you laugh too much - I'm sure it probably hurts, but look at the bright side ... the pain tells you you're still alive and kicking!)

Anyway, I'm glad (as we all are) to hear that you weren't too seriously injured!

Get well soon, and
Regards,
 
wow man! glad to hear you are ok! was there a police report? you could go after the company for damages probably since they didn't have cones up.
 
Find a good lawyer if you haven't done so yet!!! Get well
 
Im sorry to hear about your crash man. It makes it even worse when something like that happens and you have to pay for someone elses negligence.Pain sucks but Im always glad to hear that a rider walked away from a wreck.... I hope you have a speedy recovery and can get back to enjoying your bikes....
 
ouch!

ouch!

Sorry to hear about your crash. Live to ride another day and its all ok. Be patient with your recovery it all takes time. Time and Glucosamine.
 
Wow. :(

Glad you managed to make it through. Best wishes on a speedy and complete recovery.
