gonna make this as short as possible-leg's kinda achey today.of all things i was helping film a new safety video for the pacific air force over here.how's that for ironic.anyhow,was going into tunnel about 30-35 mph,this lump of crap appears out of nowhere in front of me,no time to react,front wheel hits it,i lose control,hello mister guardrail.the guys i was riding with no doubt saved my life,and my leg.bad thing is at this point i don't know if i will ever get on another bike.laying on the side of the road for an hour and a half kinda put a lot of things in perspective for me.but,i am ALIVE and i have all my parts,so i am not gonna complain,could have been a lot worse.thanks for all your concern.God bless,Bert. | ||

Always hate to hear about a bad wreck. Don't let friends and family keep you from riding if it is what you want to do. You're alive, don't forget to LIVE. It will take a bit to regain all of your confidence, but it will return if you keep at it. Believe me on this one, been there, done that.  | ||

Tunnel... You were either on the expressway above Foster or up North... Sorry to hear about that man. I'm glad you're going to be OK. I remember my crash and I was scared to ride again too... Just let it all sink in and ride if you want to. That thing in the road could have sent you into the rail in a car too, especially on a coral road. The safety video thing is ironic... Take care and heal well. | ||

Oki what the hell were you doing \ thinking? You're supposed to stunt a 12S - not drop the bloody thing. I hope you haven't hurt that bike. Suggest you give Craig Jones a call when you get your limp wrist and peg leg back in action. Take it easy Burt and great luck with your healing.  Rocket |
