You were 5 minutes ahead of me in posting this info. If you havent read the first link that I posted you might find it interesting to check out. This news made really me think twice about going for a top speed burst on the weekend.

My prayer will go out to Lee Shierts and I will ask my wife to pray for him also.My wife also went thru a motorcycle accident also and came out ok,but she has turned to God who she said saved her life when going down between a Semi-truck and snow plow truck in Northern California and her out look on life has changed since the accident.I'm not going to preach to anyone but a Little prayer might do the trick from everyone to help Lee pull out of this one.My DOLLARS worth.

Coops,
I read the URL link. Lee has been a roll
model for me since i saw him practice at The
Pomona AMA National in 1994. The 200mph article said it all.
When was this accident? Last Sunday?

FalconCop, that is a little insensitive as a fellow busa owner is severely injured and in the hospital. Prayers go out to Lee and his family.

 

[OB_Kong]

Your right Kawabuser! Lee is who needs as many prayers as he can get right now. My question was out of place , sorry

Hi Cop, I know you dont make the laws but why is it so easy to get a drivers license? I mean look at the regimen one has to go through to get a pilots license which to me is no more dangerous to anyone than driving a car, unskilled and unhealty car drivers kill many. Speed may be important but lack of alertness and skill may supercede. Your thoughts?

I doubt Lee was using speed unwisely, as FalconCOP would like to believe everyone does but him.

I read his article and it was very informative and helpful. I hope he gets well soon! We are pray'n for his prompt return to us out here on the edge.
