Author Message   Sanchez Posted on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 08:02 am:        Lol, that sucks! Ironically you probably have several gallons of gas with you.   Odie Posted on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 09:50 am:        $250....easy.....   Shred Posted on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 01:53 pm:        We had two 5 gallon cans of race fuel, and one 5 gallon can of regular but NO F' ing diesel fuel. Your really close Odie....the cost is being kept classified, better yet TS Still can't believe the fuel idiot light said I had 36 miles left and on top of that both gas stations were closed. Were having fun now,   New12r Posted on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 11:19 pm:        My next post will be from Indy.   New12r Posted on Saturday, August 28, 2010 - 07:49 pm:        Camp set up, eating dinner now and then going out to play.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 01:44 am:        Last minute ride: heading out from the gas station/Burger King at 400 & Old Milton at 9:30 Sunday morning.   Shred Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 03:36 am:        After getting to the track, and starting have fun. The practice day wasn't just fo racers, street riders too. So this made the groups mixxd in cc size and groups which took away from dividing the groups in more specific groups for an example, LWT with novice and experts 600 I-4 bikes with novice 600 I-4 expert 750 I-4 HWT novice / expert That had all the experts together with all classes, novice w/ all engine classes. So I asked to go with amateur since it was my 1st time track . One of the instructors also a friend said she give me the VIP lap around the track so I could follow her lines, well after 2 red flags and another restart and not even getting a full lap in, we started again. As I go into T4 I get azz packed my some 600 novice on a R6, new to racing and track days too. After a whole later her came and appol' and said " he knew he was coming into the corner to fast and after seeing me knew he was going to hit me so at the last second her braked to slow down the impact. Told him that's called. " target fixation" you look where you want to go...and if your think or say to yourself " I'm going to wreck, hit somebody / something you usually do! Wanted to call him out but he did come over to check on me Nd said sorry. Where not playing golf out there or knitting sweaters I'm at the house, flew in this morning from Dulles airport at Washington DC, it's about a he from Summit Point WV Want to watch Motogp at 3pm somewhere. Shelley thought I'd be out of town racing. She won G' brave tickets and taking Nicholas Think Smoke took a 8th and a 9th in another race today tomorrow he's doing the hole Tam Challenge on his own, 75 laps which is about 150 mole race with a two 2 he limit. GO SMOKE, Trashed Bike Racing, wish I was there Anyway as I go in T4 folowing Rachel on her 600rr we got split up b a pack off 600's and then that's when I felt like a football being puntted off the track. He hit me from theback right side close to the rear axle at an angle. The next thing I remember was getting up after tumbling and thought I was ok, turn off the bike tried to lift I up when my right shoulder popped , realized I felt a bir funny and my face sheild was missing along with glasses. Looked at my bike, was wadded up pretty good. The right side case was crack, leaking oil everwhere, rear set completely ripped off, tail was all f'd up along with the eight Arrow exhuast can crashed up against the tire, front upper fairings, clip-ons with clutch master, levers broken and a dent in the tank that could fit a part of a baseball in. Lower fairings was about 10 ft from me and the bike, then noticing the right side rear set was snapped off too along with some smaller damage. Tim gave me ride to the hospital took some xrays showing a broken clavicle and the broken overlaping eachother by an inch and 1/2 or so. Great hospital, in and out in about 2 1/2 hrs. Small cocussion only got sick a couple times late on that night and follwing morning. Told me to give the swelling a few days, hoping the muscles will relax with some meds causing the broke bone to move closer together. Go see the Ortho' on Tuesday/ wendsday. Hoping an Op isn't nesseary. Doctors called today and told me to more xrays are needed they found a fracture in my upper shoulder blade. It's only been a day, so the rest of my body is letting me know it's not happy. At least I didn't break the same right leg, femur again, lol! We waited maybe 60 seconds in the ER, hopsital and staff was a class act Btw, this is what happened. On my first session thrid lap I got punted off the track in T4. They let me ride in   Shred Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 03:47 am:        Sorry for the missed spelled words y'all can figure it out. I'm all doped up on perscriptions and it's really late well late in the AM I'll be ready for Buell'toberfest rocking the Hawk! Have fun at M-gp Charlie!   Odie Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 09:47 am:        Dang Mike, that sux!!! Glad you are sorta ok! See you in a few weeks time. Heal up!   Shred Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 10:39 am:        Mann...can't believe I posted a short story, lol!   Fran_dog Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 01:13 pm:        Shred - Thought and prayers sent your way. Heal well and fast. Glad your doing kind of all right. Is the Duc done for?   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 05:27 pm:        Damn!! That sucks. Don't get the surgery if you don't have to. And did you type all that on your phone??   Buellish Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 05:52 pm:        Michael,good luck healing.Call if I can do anything. Mike   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 06:00 pm:        Good seeing you today, Buellish! I couldn't believe there were 3 tubers parked outside Rider's Hill.   Buellish Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 06:07 pm:        Yea,that was cool.I saw an S1 on the way home.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, August 29, 2010 - 06:23 pm:        I think maybe people are buying up Buells now that prices have dropped. I went out to run some errands the other day and 2 out of the 3 motorcycles I saw were XBs. I don't usually even see one Buell, much less two!   M1a65 Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 06:56 am:        Get well Mike! Hope to see you at TWO next month... Gonna be up there riding my "Black Cloud" with my other buddy who introduced me to the Buell scene. He rides an orange M2 too!   Rdglider Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 07:40 pm:        good luck on the healing.   Shred Posted on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 - 09:04 pm:        Thanks y'all. The doctor will decide weather to put the plate and screws in on thrursday. I'd rather not do the Op' but the recovery time should be lots quicker. Was thinking maybe If I do, I'd be able to race at Road Atlanta for the GNF, lol!

If not, I hope you got lots of Percoset.   New12r Posted on Friday, September 03, 2010 - 11:36 pm:        Making the 12 hour ride home with Hayden tomorrow. Moto GP was sweeet! Def going next year! Anyone riding monday?   Sanchez Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2010 - 08:55 am:        I'm planning on riding dirt Monday. I'd like to hit the hills Sunday.   Fran_dog Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2010 - 11:58 am:        I'd like to ride if I can. Most likely, just locally. I bruised or broke a rib or two (haven't gone to the doctor), about two weeks ago. How? Think stupid human tricks at the pool.   Shred Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2010 - 03:39 pm:        The Doc wouldn't touch me , blah...blah... Going to a different specialist Tuesday , on standby really might be Thursday. Surgery looks to the only option, sucks The Duc had it's first appointment with the wrenches early this morning. Nic is the lead mechanic, lol! Pulling off all the broken parts, etc   New12r Posted on Saturday, September 04, 2010 - 08:09 pm:        Home safe, 11 hours and 15 min door to door. One gas stop, two pee breaks and I am beat. Well I gots shit to do tomorrow, but I may ride anyhow. Ribs at TWO for dinner.   New12r Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2010 - 01:16 pm:        Ok, riding is looking bleak, got the bike fixed but the one who is supposed to be taking care of Hayden could not even make it to get him.   Sanchez Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2010 - 01:37 pm:        > I bruised or broke a rib or two Ouch, that sucks. I've cracked and torn ribs a couple of times in jiu-jitsu, and it takes forever to heal. > Surgery looks to the only option, sucks That blows. Oh well, at least you'll get the use of your arm back more quickly with surgery. > Ok, riding is looking bleak I ended up just sticking around the house to get stuff done. I'm riding down to the V to meet Yorkie and RobGoBlue for lunch, and I'll probably go to the Iron Horse for dinner with the same crowd tonight. If you guys just want to get out and get some fresh air, you should stop by. I'm still going dirt biking tomorrow at the new Moto Mountain place.   Twintalon Posted on Sunday, September 05, 2010 - 10:38 pm:        I'll be riding the loop tomorrow if anyone wants to join. I'm in Hiawassee right now, so I'll be coming down through Helen to get there. Let me know if anyone wants to join me. 404-seven three one-1414.   New12r Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2010 - 03:40 pm:        Great time riding mon. except for bustin my tail light....doh. Buelltoberfest here i come.   Sanchez Posted on Wednesday, September 08, 2010 - 03:56 pm:        How'd you manage to break your tail light?? If anyone's up for a ride this Sunday, there's a long group ride planned: http://www.blokessportbike.com/showthread.php?t=52 243 The guy leading is big on The Pace, so hopefully it won't be the usual BSB thing where everyone's got their genitals hanging out trying to prove how much faster they are than everyone else.
