Damn good to hear your words my friend. Take care and heal well. Were you on the orange one or the green one?

I would start going to Church and give thanks if I were you. I am glad you are on the mend.

I prayed for your quick recovery in church today, so
let me know if it helped.

Damn James, I was so surprised when I realized I knew you from the tour and rode with you once. Heal up, good luck and best wishes. My brother took a hard one in Japan in the early 60's I know how hard it can be on the family too. Don and Bud R.

brain trauma ain't no picnic.    It's a very good sign that you are able to talk & type.

Wow - take care man.  Think about your most important priorities first.  You have a family.  If and when (probably later) you need to start thinking about your bike (or a new one  :-\), we're here to help you figure that out.  However, please keep us informed of your progress.  You'll find your way into my kids' prayers tonight... and that's a good thing - I think the innocent ones have a better "frequency" than us "elders".
