Haven't decided yet, waiting to see what Buell comes out with in July. Most likely a CBR1000RR or a Mille R. | ||

not neccessarily work safe Link is to a pic of the 24 staples holding the skin closed. The part right over my elbow is from the compound fracture of my elbow and the rest is the incision they made in order to work on the elbow. Its not bad, but may not be suitable for those with weak stomaches. | ||

Kobie, first off I want to thank you again for all your help and for making the calls I couldn't, I really appreciate it. Can you email me the full resolution shots of the bike? Also, do you have any info on how far I tumbled and how far the bike went? Trying to get a copy of the police report today. Was trying to do some figureing yesterday and realised I may have been going upwards of 75-80 when it all happened as I had down shifted to 4th and whacked it WOT to get around the guy as quick as possible. | ||

Wicked, No problem man. What are bro's for? I took the pictures with a cell phone so they aren't much better than the ones on here. PM me with your email and I'll send the originals anyway. As far as speed is concerned.. the truck we passed was going about 65-70mph. Figure a good 10-20 increase for the typical pass and you might be about right. According to the driver of the truck you crashed before passing him, so 75-80 sounds right. I have no way of knowing how far you slid, but the bike ended up a good 50-60 yards down the road from you. Momentum carried it just off the side of the road adjacent to the oncoming lane of traffic. You ended up smack dab in the middle of the lanes on the center stripe. Sure am glad we didn't take the I-17 home that day. | ||

damn forgot it was your cellphone, I will just grab the pics from here then, thanks. I was about even with his door when it happened cause I remember glancing at him as I always do out of habit as the back end came up. As to the I-17 I agree ALOT. | ||

N 1 know of a good car tint shop around the avondale area? | ||
| M1combat |
Well, that's probably better than on the spars I suppose... | ||
| Mr_bill |
Well, I haven't met any of you yet, but I'm off tommorrow. If you're looking for a morning ride I may be up for it. I need to ride into town anyway... | ||

Wycked, nice pic. looks like a nice S curve just waiting to be carved!!!  | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
My roomate suggested getting a tattoo done with the scar as the double yellow and a Buell rider dragging his knee thru it | ||
| Azbueller |
Cool Mr_Bill, there's a gas station on the corner of Central & Baseline, 9am sound good??? | ||
| Bartimus |
That would look pretty kool, Mikel So how are you feeling nowadays? I'll be back tomorrow night for the weekend, and back in Yuma on Monday. Are you up to going out for dinner on Saturday night? Or lunch on Sunday? | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Waiting to find out the GF's schedule for the weekend Bart but that doesn't sound half bad, will figure it out, driving is a bit rough after the increase in meds. As to how I an feeling, the swelling finally broke in my hand, it looks normal now. My pinky and next finger are hypersensative to anything touching thm, its like right now there is a blow torch on them, and when something touches them it switches to a plasma cutter. Otherwise things are looking good. I should be in a hinged brace after the 20th of April with the bone graft tentatively scheduled for the middle of May, about a week before Barcelona. | ||

Charlie, do you still have the stock front Firebolt seat? I know I gave you the touring seat on the bike and the stock seat seperate but if I could get the stock seat from you along with that exhaust canister it would be awesome thanks | ||
| Mr_bill |
Sorry... Just got the message... I can be there by 10.. still ok? | ||

Anyone going to battletrax at BMW of Scottsdale? Registration at 8, ride start at 9. Sounds like they will be there all day for anyone to try. I'm going to try to be there at 9, see how it goes & then maybe get a ride in somewhere. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
My GF and I will be there around 9am, going to try and bring a camera and shoot but not sure how good things will come out since its difficult to work the controls left handed... (Message edited by wyckedflesh on April 08, 2005) | ||

No thats no it M1, Its beside Hacienda H-D/Buell!! On Hayden Rd. south of Frank Lloyd Wright Blvd. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
The first one Don, its off the 101, take the Frank Lloyd Wright exit to the right at the bottom of the ramp, make the immediate left at the first light and follow that down, it will be on the right side next to Scottsdale Gunclub . If you can bring the header/canister I can bring the PCIII | ||

Nice ride today Phil and Mr. Bill, I love riding up South Mountain on the weekday mornings, not many cars to pass  Phil you missed out on my little miss hap,coming down the mountain my drive belt snapped and came tumbling off while fully leaned over and it was like touching the front brake leaned over the bike wanted to stand up!!! so I coasted all the way down to the ranger station and parked it. Mr. Bill was nice enough to give me a ride home to get my truck and go back and help me load it up, again a big THANK YOU to Mr. Bill for all your help!!!! | ||

Wycked. Their yours... Make sure you post the list of parts you need when you get it. You may be able to piece your bike together from spare parts here on BWB... So, you gonna go for the "S" front end and the "R" rear end this time LOL!  I saw one here recently and it was sweet! I thought it would look goofey but I was wrong. Only bad thing is the absence of wind protection... | ||

It was cool to kick it Casey and Bill. I didn't get to do alot of riding but it cool to kick it. I can't believe your belt snapped after telling those guys that they were strong. Talk about coinsidence! When I read that bill gave you a ride I couldn't help grinning to think of 2 grown men on one motorcyle!! I wish I had a camera!! You don't see that often, Classic! Glad to hear that there was no mishap. | ||

Battletrax at Scottsdale BMW is a riot!! We are having more fun than should be allowed. If you're not here you are missing a great time. Hats off to Scottsdale BMW and Reg Krittle for putting on a class event. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Nope that R rear is for the S3 Kobie agreed, it was a lot of fun and I truly hope the pics I shot came out alright...miss not having a digital Reg it was great meeting you and I look forward to the next chance I get to ride one of your events. CSG/Dave it was nice meeting you and you buddy Ned and his son Derek, as well as your lovely wife(who's name I am afraid I am ashamedly drawing a blank of), BillC good to see you again, James man, your Brother was tearing it up out there...litterally heh  Even Brian finally got into the action after getting his arm twisted into the shame errr shape of mine  So looking forward to Springfast. Hopefully the arm will be in better shape for some better picture taking. |
