Was almost the end of my life. Luckily, I found that I had friends on every corner of the globe. I just wanted to say thank you again to all of you that called, wrote, and then invaded my home in March! It feels good to just be able to ride! Nick |

Thankfully you are still here to tell the tale. I know it's been a long year, but you and Sammie have been troopers through it all. Not many people could have pulled off a major Buell BBQ so soon after your accident. My hats off to you both. |

~SM: Valentines day of last year, a nice lady on a cell phone decided that a stop sign instructions were optional to follow. I broadsided her at about 35mph. You name it, I broke it. I had on full riding gear and still broke my right thigh, left knee, both shoulder blades, pretty much all of y ribs, and fractured 5 vertebrae. I also ruptured my spleen and bruised my kidneys bad enough that they bled. I spent about a week and a half in the hospital and a few days in a nursing home until my wife checked me out of there and set up a hospital room at home. A few weeks after that was bike week and my house was flooded with the best of the Bad Web. These guys kicked A$$! They helped finish some painting that I started, helped my wife, Sammie with chores and made sure we had several of the best nights I have ever had in my life. I can't say enough thanks, or enough kind words about the people on this board. With that being said... we aredoing it all again this year, minus the wreck and hospital stay. Thanks again everyone!

Thnaks Erik! I would love to make it up there. Believe me, I have been thinking about it. I'll have to check the # of vacation days that I have. I used up 4 years worth of vacation and sick days when I had my wreck. As far as recovery, I am not happy yet. I still have some weakness in my left leg, but I am determined as ever to make it better that it was. Dora: Wow! Talk about a move! Good luck over there. We'll be thinking about you for sure! |

After a long time of being gone I think I'll chime in here. (Yes, I still read this board) It's good to see your doing good again Vegas. Dunno if I'll be able to make it to your party this year, if I can, I will. Just gotta see when the 4 day passes can fall into place. We'll see. |

Glitch: We'll see. I may just look at the distance and try to ride up and back solo. Sounds like fun! Cataract: We'll be here! Except this year, I plan on being in the stands! yep, Sm, these guys are the best. You may hear rumblings back and forth at times, but they really pull together when someone needs them. Steve: Give Sunny a hug for us! Maybe next year! |
