Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Tom.  If anyone knows Tom well enough to have a phone number and can call him to see how he's making out, please let us know.

I think there is a number on his web site.

Well guys, here I am. Lucky me most of this nasty turned out ok. I managed to get a good bang on the head which will only add to my craziness, and a wicked sprained back from doing the fetal roll. They kept me overnight to monitor my head injury. The bike only lost a mirror as she skid through the mud when it left the road ;D. Cell phone when flying, should have a replacement by tonight.

So all in all I escaped with a busted mirror and a raging headache.  ;D

I think I will try again this weekend, AND ON THE SAME BIKE.

Sad I have to crash to get Karma  ::)

To add insult to injury I was greeted buy the building inspector and a cop this morning while I tinkered with a tank paint job telling me my K5 with the new motor was a junker. And issuing me a $250 ticket for junk storage. I yelled at them and told them not to come back. You know, "Get the F! off my property!" I will get my day in court. After I do I will send them a bill for time plus travel expenses for it.

This officially makes it not a choice of mine to officially open Anubis Cycle LLC (yes it is now legit) in Reedsburg. There are several other towns around us that would welcome us. I made sure to tell him that and the fact that I will not be opening Anubis Cycle in ReedsTURD.

NOW GTFO! ::)

When they said have a nice day I said "F! you"!

Junkie... you sure know how to rub salt in a guy's wounds! ::)

(I'd give you some karma for it but, it appears that we have been censored.  :'( Somehow I'm reminded of the karma burnings that took place about 60+ years ago.)

The gods have seen it fit to do away with the Karma thingy. Sad really I was going to conspire to raise 50words Karma to get him back in the arena again, always good to know a lawyer of some sort and make some kind of bond. It's all good as long as you are on two or three wheels for all that matters. I guess bugs in your teeth that does not involve 4 wheels is ok with me.

If you don't mind my asking, what exactly happened?  I know I learn something from incidents and I'm sure many others do as well.

Glad to hear you'll be ok.

Well you see it was early season dumb, I was out on a run on the CB550 racer and I pushed the corner hard, like super bike hard, hit some left over salt I think. What happens then? The ass scoots out from under ya! and lucky me there was a nice muddy bank when I exited the road. That saved my ass. With the weather warming up here it has made quite a bit of mud off the road. One second I was on the road pushing hard and the next I was a gonener.....

I will post pics of the sick Old School paint job I am doing. Flat White scallops over Flat Black with a Red dividing pin stripe. Just sick, really nice.

Hey man, trust from your most recent post you are now 20% OK unlike your usual 15%.
1 Karma for the "Incident" ( Tough they seem to be gone now) but it can be spiritual. :D
did you have your gear on....Karma... +/- 10 points
you are safe & sound....? and one lesson up.

Helen,
50 Points to you,
I know why, so do you, may we never hear your anxieity again, but other that that, call anytime.

OK your missus gets 100 Points, I expect you wouldn't chanced the "Armourless" attire with her lookin' on.
You'll get 2 points for being able to "type" after your traumatic expierience.....when was this post started.... Today, I'd wait at least a week, just to make sure before callin'   loose two points for being a girl. ;D ;D


Stay vertical, thats the plan.........

Geeezzz.. now I really feel bad. When I first read your intro to the post, I wasn't sure if you really crashed or were just informing us of what we would see if something happened to you. After you replied with more info, I read it wrong and you really were in a crash.

Glad to hear you're gonna be OK and I'm really sorry, man!
