7 years on
« on: June 20, 2021, 02:05:21 am »
Well guys, it's 7 years on since that dreadful day at Virginia Motorsports Park.
I would like to thank each and everyone of you that helped me to pull through it.
I would have been in heck of a mess without your help and contributions, God bless you all.

Thanks Mark, it's been a long road and still have a lot of problems with my balance.
I hope you and Linda are keeping well.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Sam......We are are very thankful that you continue doing what you do  ;)

After my bike to car accident (car went through a stop sign) it took me more than 40 years to regain enough flexibility in my left leg to sit on a bike in a crouch position.........so keep working on your balance so you can walk through the pits and have people call out your name ;D.........Its a great feeling :) :) :) :)

Dennis, if it takes me 40 years to get the use back in my legs, ill be 115 when I walk through the pits and I won't know who they are calling out to because I'll have forgotten my own name. lol.

Mike, it must have been worse for the people watching, I have no memory of what happened, so don't know how much pain I was in and because I have no memory, I'll never have flash backs.
Even to this day, I can only remember a few things what happened a few days before and can only remember a few things from the second and third weeks in hospital.
I'm just glad that Larry, Bill and Jonathan were able to rally people around to help raise funds to get me home, I'll never forget peoples kind reactions to my problems with donations.

Love you all, Sam.

It's Karma Uncle Sammy. What goes around comes around so they say.
You along with others here have morphed this forum into a community over the years.
It's been there for you and I both in our darkest days and like you I'll never forget it.

Cheers,
Brian

Strewth! Is it really 7 years. I'm convinced time speeds up as you get older.

Time pass by way too quick!
Thoughts about "winter is coming" to be handled after midsummer solstice was passed over a week ago....

The best ride this year done yesterday on my K2 with wife. Hopefully more of that perfect summer weather this year.
