    Well after a beautiful day of riding in 80 degree weather for about 100 miles up HWY 1 coast line and back down was all good. On my way home alone I decided to take Turrie Rd known for its twist and it happen ... shot straight out of the corner and across the road into the weed patch and ditch. Ill be needing some right side fairings, cowl and tail .... But right no I need some more drugs so Ill write more soon. Thanks to everyone that came and helped, Tori, Tony, Alli, Lauren, the bikecyclist, and a few cars..... It sure hurts for nothing broken but bruised and a streched shoulder that pop in and out ACL/ACU whatever they call it it freakin hurts ! More to follow . Brian

    That's not what they mean by weed abatement!

    Hope things pop back into shape before Easter. Get some rest! :couch2:

    Sorry to here about the tip over, Turrie Rd. has bitten more than it's share of riders over the years. Hope all goes well in the recovery stage. I will still ride with you guys! Someday soon. Turrie is one of my old favorites, if a few fun turns are in needed.

    On second thought, you bring up a good point Reg, Hmm to ride with or not?

    Man hope she's not as bad as it sounds.

    Sorry to hear about your unplanned excursion. At least you and your bike weren't damaged beyond repair. Get some well needed rest, and heal up!!!

    I was trying to talk him and Tori into getting dirtbikes. Guess he thought the VFR can truly do it all. Hey Brian, where are the pics of you immediately following the wreck like mine? You had the camera out as soon as I caught my breath. I was surprised you didn't have one of me flat on my back in the middle of the road!

    So sorry to hear of your crash Brian. Hopefully you have someone to take care of you. The bike is just metal...

    Thats rough! Heres to a speedy recovery! I almost took her into the weeds yesterday due to having to stand it up since a corner was covered in sand, luckily no oncoming traffic let me keep it in the road.
    I hope your shoulder feels better, tendon injuries are the worst. Vitamin I (ibuprofen) and rest are your friends!
    Im glad to hear the crash wasnt worse, live to fight another day, feel better man.

    No dirtbikes for me,.....sold mine after my "get off" Don't need to damage my back anymore than it already is.

    As far as pics, i took some with my camera phone after i loaded his bike, and he was on the way to the hospital. I think he took some pics too after he got back up. I'll let him post the pics.

    I remember thinking I was invinsible after my last wreck when I cracked 3 ribs, I stood up out of bed the morning after & collapsed to the floor in pain & stayed there for the rest of the day. Crashing sucks, hope your up to par soon:crutch:

    Get well soon. I don't wish going down on anybody.

    Start looking at e-bay for plastic. Hopefully the deals will follow!
