May 13th mothers day 1995 crashed hard racing RM125 trying to make a jump only the 250's were doing .
January 4th 1997 hit by 65 year old woman not wearing her glasses ( 2nd major accident in 6 months no glasses ) nearly killed me . Threw me 80 feet ( length ) broke my left tib/ fib compound . Broken right hip .
Spent a year plus in a wheel chair . So both legs have serious hardware , and I'm no longer 5 ' 3 " tall like in my early 20's . Now I'm 5' 1" standing on the worst of the two legs , and 5 ' 2" on the other leg
Walk with a limp , in pain often , but zero drugs . Maybe a Advil once a week or so . Learned to live with it .
I have disabled placards for my car / truck , but usually only use when hurting bad or raining . Rain is not due to getting wet, but reduce risk of slipping , and hurting the back trying to catch myself .
Left leg looks like a Shark got me , and people stare often in public when I'm in shorts . I don't care , but if a kid is caught staring I say should of seen the size of the gator or shark with a wink

You are welcome any time Toad
Ti axles , and the swing arm pivot some day , but there is still more hardware to change 1st . Also Wheels are next big ticket .Willie the only thing I would consider impressive was boy scout life safety training kicked in . I was bleeding out fast . I was conscious the entire crash , and when the flying was over my foot was at my knee . Blood just flowing like the kitchen sink . I sat up , and ripped my T shift off making a tourniquet just above my knee .
I crashed in front of a fire station so EMT's responded from the sound . One EMT wanted to remove my tourniquet , but I wouldn't let him . Dr. later told me good choice . Also broke the leg a year later Jan 11th 1998 in a fight
thats when they did a Titanium knee to ankle pin on that leg . I hit the guy so hard he was knocked out , but feel into me . The leg couldn't hold the weight snap ! compound # 2 I sat in the place , and straightened out my leg . Bleeding a bit , but no life threatening issues this time . 30 plus hyperbaric chamber treatments later all was Ok .
You are another of those rare breed , made of tuff stuff C10 . I feel privileged to have made your acquaintance and acceptance from across the pond bro .

Hi all. Hi c10. We all seem to be some tuft S O Bs. A year ago I had a 6ft 4 cab driver by his throat. Also an old lady came running out of her house at 3am as I was driving by. She was yelling someone was in her house. I stop and ran into her house, I did not see anyone, but the back door was open. I see you live with no fear!

You get to certain age and it just ain't no big deal to admit this anymore.
How much does your bird weight at the moment? I did the “unofficial” weight thing by putting front tire on a scale and then rear and adding both weights up, but I don’t think that method works, even though, internet says it does. Lol! Using that method the bike supposedly weights 562 with a full tank.Especially since both of my legs are Titanium. Rotor bolts arrived today
105 grams or 3.7 ounces for Ti.
176 grams stock bolts.
Last can't forget the wife's Bandit. New wave rotors, and pads
