Cool. There was a dude with one arm at Jennings last month. He had all the controls on one side of his SV650, rather than using a prosthetic. He wasn't slow, either. |

They are leaving in the AM. Tuesday. I have an appointment with Accenture Tuesday at 10:00am. Wish me luck! I'm not sure what the interview count is now, but the first one was in January. They sure are investing a lot of time getting to know me, I hope it's a good sign. GlitchCo will not fall by the wayside! |

B_Sunshine: You know you would have to test ride the bike too, so you're sure everything could be setup correctly. Hope all is well at the Sunshine homestead. Glitch: Good luck on Tuesday... |

Jessica, John (buckmh60), and I are here at Jennings hanging out in John's PIMP PALACE of an RV. Holy crap, this thing is awesome. AC, fridge, shower, microwave, stove, etc. It feels like cheating. Tomorrow morning, we ride! |

John says, "Hey." There are a surprising number of firebolts out here. I've seen four so far, counting John's. |

Fran_dog...everything just shiney. So busy at work and home, no time to post. I'm just out of the loop. Hope things can calm down soon so I can catch up with my old friends and maybe, just maybe two wheels again. I do lurk every now and then. Here is my favorite pastime these days:

Sanchez...you didn't have to break yourself again to make me cook you dinner! But if you need a place to heal, we're here. Seriously, I hope a broken collar bone is all it is. John, keep us posted. Oh...BTW, how's the bike? |

Dang! I hate to hear that. Heal quick Matt. On a brighter note I rode the Loop today with the BSB crew. Really enjoyed the R6 everywhere but Wolfpen. No crashes this weekend, didn't even hear about any either. |

Thanks for all the well wishes. Ann, see how good your meatloaf is? I'll run right off a track to get it. I was cooking around the track pretty good. My back tire slipped around turn 11 and then caught again, and it really threw off my concentration. I should've slowed down, but I pushed through turn 12 anyway. I was still thinking about 11 as I passed 12, and I didn't setup for 13 quickly enough. I ran wide off into the grass and flipped over the bars. I landed hard on my right shoulder and broke the collar bone up good. There's a floating bone fragment between the two halves, so I'll probably need surgery. A nice titanium plate will get me back on a bike sooner. I haven't seen the bike yet, but they say it's just plastics, a foot peg, and a clipon. What really pisses me off is that this is only a couple of days off from the anniversary of the Ankle Breaker. I was so close to a full year with no accidents! Not to self: take April 20th off from riding next year. Two notes for anyone else who wrecks at a track: 1) Have you girlfriend follow in your truck 2) Don't forget your cell phone With neither a truck nor anyone's number, we thought we'd never get out of the hospital. Seriously, stop and take a minute to count up the number of people whose numbers you know off the top of your head. I finally found a doctor with a Blackberry so I could get to my email and find Frank's number to get John's. As it turned out, John had already packed up my trailer and was heading for the hospital anyway. BIG THANKS to John! He's a true 3%er. The photographer was working the corner I wrecked in, so maybe he got some pics. We shall see. |

You know I think I saw this in a movie two or three times before, except the injured guy disappears, is never heard from, and ends up in some weird science experiment, or even worse a sex slave. Glade to hear you haven't been enslaved in a small town never to be heard from... Glade to hear your semi ok. |
