OK, as some of you know, I had a little get-off on saturday. Done brokded my R clavical. Seeing a surgon tomorrow about gluing it back together. I have some amusing pic's to post, but it's too freakin' hot, so I'm heading back to the fan... | ||

Galen ... well that sucks! So how long is the hair over time expected to take? Hope your on some good meds. I was hoping for some SPLASH pics to show up, just not these kind. Get yourself put back together and start improving those left handed typing skills. Maybe if you ask real nice Bob could just weld it back together. Take care and stay cool. | ||

I'm posting a bit late as my wife and I took off for Pender Island early Monday morning. I got home at around 7:00PM on Sunday night. Had a great trip down I-5 believe it or not. Had the i-pod cranked up and saw many SWEET hot rods on the way. It was like a rolling car show. When I wanted to listen to the best most rocking tune I would turn off the ipod and turn up the Speed 3. Had a much better time than last year! Seriously, what a great group of people. I'll work on downloading some pics asap and post them one way or another. Looking forward to Border Raid. | ||

OK. Will someone give their blessing to the Border Raid plan so far. I, like Duane, am not a leader. | ||
| Buellnuts |
I guess I'll post an update on Galen (he won't) He is fine with the typical pains from a get off. He has some pinched nerves in his back and is dealing with the shoulder and some broken ribs. All in all he will be fine. I have been calling him daily (as he won't give updates) So, thats what we know so far. Bob | ||
| Chameleon |
Thanks for the update, Bob; it's very much appreciated. | ||
| Shotgun |
Yeah, but Galen, how's the bike? Heal up and hair over quick. | ||
| Christaylor |
Yo, Galen! Tired of hearing updates on your condition second party, we are all family here! How are you doing? Do you need any help? Details please! Hang in there, Chris | ||
| Sportyeric |
OK. Check the Border Raid thread. Motels are now selected for Vernon(Friday) and Creston(Saturday). Need some input for your preference for Grand Coulee (Sunday). Phone and book even if you're not yet sure. You can always cancel with 48 hours notice. I think that's standard. Tell them Border Raid. | ||

Yes I have been curled up in the back of the cave for the last two weeks, but I crawled out and saw the sun today. I broke my clavicle into 5 or 6 parts, broke the third rib where it connects to yer backbone, got a small pneumothorax. Not too bad. Got cleared to go back to work next Monday! The Dr.'s say I seem to be some kinda freak for wanting to get back to work so bad, but, er.. OK! And as for the bike.. it arrived in Tacoma on Wednesday. I went down and checked it out. Some pretty well bent bits on there. The adjuster wont be there 'till Tuesday... They probly think I'm all messed up and can't ride. HA! I'll start pesterin' 'em next week. So thanks for carein'. Where's the pic's? | ||
| Sound_uly |
Good to hear from ya' Galen! Get 'em straightened out and get that bike fixed or a new 'un right away. Heal quick and heal well! | ||
| Sportyeric |
Ron! Are you Border-Raiding? So Jaci and I were in the Dublin Crossing Pub last night. Me drinking Kilkenny and Jaci Keiths. Thinking WWBD. Which in this case means, "What would Bib drink?" Since you can't get Hefelwisen or Heineken in an Irish pub, we decided on Stella Artois. But after a while it became apparent that warm beer was the correct answer so we sadly  drank it ourselves. | ||
| Sound_uly |
Hey Eric! Not sure yet. I've got this nueva casa thing going and will be moving in here in the next couple of weeks. Loads to do but if I can devise an escape plan I'll try to join up with you guys. | ||
| Sparropie |
Well I'm going back to work tomorrow!  This a good thing indeed. The clav is still in pieces, but due to my ability to chanel Superman I am unfazed. Really. The Dr. said I'm somekinda freak since I have total Range of Motion with no pain. So the biological part of the equation is comming right along. The adjuster isn't gona seen the bike 'till 9/12. The dude at Desperation sez it looks cooked to him | ||
| Buellnuts |
9/12? WTFO I'd call the Insurance commissioner. Thats Crazy. Bob  | ||
| Christaylor |
Hey Galen, Thank's for the updates. Pics from splash will be coming soon, I've been busy lately, CompTIA A+ exam tomorrow, WSDOT exam in about ten days. Right now it sucks being me.  Later, Chris | ||
| Sparropie |
OK, Mr.Smarty Bob; I meant 8/12. And that's still too long... Chris, I feel your pain. We thought we were done with school. Good luck, it will be over soon. | ||
| Sparropie |
Well the Dogdamn ins. jerks and Desperation have got it all f ucked up. Still no one has come to 'adjust' my bike. Safeco sez they are waiting for the pics from Desp. Desp. sez they are waiting for the adjuster to arrive. Safeco sez they never send any one out to look at bikes. Desp sez the pic guy is out 'till thurs. Safeco agent in charge of my sh it is out thursday. I said look, it's been 18 days since I reported this to Safeco. I have a broken clavicle, colapssed lung, broke ribs, and I went back to work YESTERDAY! I have made one payment to Hardly, and one to Safeco while my bike sits at the shop. Now ona different note, I am really doing great. Was good to be back at work yesterday and see my work pals. Also great to talk to Duane last eve. And Bob. And Jimmy. sooner, | ||

When and where is Border Raid this year? No work...bike runs....nothing scheduled for September... hmmmm | ||
| Funjimmy |
Paul Look here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/37/ 482109.html?1250216083 | ||

Galen, If your up and running for Border Raid, you want to ride with me and meet them on the US side? I'm apparently persona nongrata in Canada these days. Can you ride slow enough to ride with me? | ||
| Captlusk |
By the way....thanks Jimmy | ||
| Sparropie |
Totals are in; $13,000 to repair BlacKettle. So that's a done deal. Will find out Moanday about my new WarPony. CAP, I will gladly ride up wit'cha! I will be experimenting with lower speeds mixed with Ibuprophin pain cocktails! I'm still not solid on the route, or our connection... But we have LOTS OF TIME for Jimmy to straighten us out. sooner, | ||
| Sparropie |
The first pic's are from May, when FunJimmy and I went on the pre-BordeRaid scouting Run. This is Harv with a real Canadian Beer. They like their s hit manly up North...  And this is the Tequila that rocked the boat that night. Sorry you missed it Deb...  | ||
| Sparropie |
Here is Bettie meeting BlacKettle. And vise-versa.  Here's BlacKettle and Chame's bike over at our neighbor Andrew's house.  | ||
| Sparropie |
Here's my good friend Dik. We been riding since H.S. The first day I met Dik we dropped Acid. First of many trips together...  So now we get to the sad and weepy part of our story... Here's BlacKettle after the skirmish. She protected me from worse damage by slideing infront of me into the rocks...  | ||
| Sparropie |
So after I slid to a stop, and figured out which way was up, I knew I was hurt, but nothing really exciting or life-threatening. And I felt pretty good...  I knew my new WarPony was insured up the wazoo, so no worries there. I really felt pretty good... | ||
| Sparropie |
I needed to wash the dirt off my face that had infiltrated my helmet...  and after Paul the Mechanic whipped up this nifty sling, i was ready for the road  I'm not completly sure what I'm so amused about in these pic's. I was having a truly great ride, and I was not even killed in my crash. It was kinda spooky when I was in the air, and it did kinda hurt when I hit the ground. Maby it's like a haunted house. It can be fun to be frightened. |
