Caught me a ride home in the back of the van and a new plate and some screws, least I'm symmetrical :LOL:again.
Hey I've got a 3 piece plated clavicle too! I've got plates and screws all over the place. I was going 140 on the race track when this happened. Arm was flopping around like a piece of spaghetti. I rolled for a long time. Stayed conscious the whole time and I'm just thinking... wow I'm still rolling. I come to a stop, look at my arm and its pointing the wrong way, and I can't help but think "well, that sucks." I didn't feel any pain because I'm too jacked up on adrenalin and dizzy from rolling.

Well I have a lot of stories but I don't want to take over the pic whore thread so I'll ease off for a week or so.

BTW: some of you supermoto fans, you should see the kart track I have a half hour from my house... look up "Shawano USAIR Supermoto" on youtube. It's the best supermoto track in the United States. Come visit sometime.

Hi Zaph,

Looks like a screw is loose...either in the saddle or in your arm or maybe both???? :)

You are a real racer! I was too and respect you for that, that come consequences at times, but you get into the saddle again or behind the wheel in my case. Way cool!

Best,

It most certainly would collapse the suspension, Ha Ha.

I always liked that blue jean looking color and it looks great on your Escape. I was trying to convince the wife on getting one of the Hybrids but she says no.

This was taken out the front of our house in the evening (it wasn't nighttime). It was looking south to where all the forest fires were burning. Looking north was blue sky, but south looked like nighttime. It was beautiful and frightening all at the same time.
