What happened?
I typed "busted knee" into a google image search and like half the results were pictures of Justin Bieber...

'11 Suzuki V-Strom DL-650 *SOLD*
'07 Aprilia RSV R Factory *SOLD*
Ergo, Bashed = Justin Bieber.

Mental,
It not the years, it's the milage. As I have lived the life of motorcycle enthusist, and have enjoyed motorcycling for the better part of 40 frickin years, it is catching up with me. Yes people, motorcycle's are inheirantly dangerous. Riding motorcycle's is dangerous. There, I said it. Not being wrapped in a cocoon of steel like in a car, one is subjected to all manners of harm. Gravity can be a friend, holding one closly to terra firma, thru phyisics and friction we all get to enjoy one of humanities greatest thrill rides. But, alas, sometimes the gravitational pull far exceeds the skill level of said motorcyclist, or fate intervenes to yank the e-ticket's holders firm grasp on reality. So there I am, back in surgery, to patch back up once again, a tattered body. 4 quick weeks and I will be back in the saddle. Rumor has it Copper Canyon in January. With me, one never really knows, other than I will be riding, somewhere, to some place, till the day I die. Which will be fine with me, because it really is worth it.
PS,
Dallas ,who was a ground magnet the last time we rode? As I recall, I patched at least two seperate items on your bike to stop nessecary fluids from leaking on your bike to make it back home.

Johnny, my friend! Long time, no talk. How are things in Brasil?
If he's eyeing a 125 I would say considerably slower. lol
Shouldn't you be following the Dakar soon in your neck of the woods, Johnny?
Now that's the race! Good to hear you are still lurking about here in our little slice of internet heaven. Keep in touch.

Hi guys! yes still lerking around. Things are good down here. Prime beach time is just about to happen and the eye candy is everywhere! You don't have to go to the beach, the local food store about 4pm is really a good place to see some amazing things fresh from the beach. The bikes here are really expensive! My used GSXR1k would fetch about $25k. I couldn't import it because it"s more than a year old and it's not worth paying the 130% taxes and fees (not including shipping) to bring here, the roads are mostly made out of stones the size of small loaves of bread. In other words,,,really bumpy!!! A motocross bike would be best. I prefer to walk or take a taxi. I've been in and out of Colorado a few times this year, but never saw a bike night to come to. Yes, a 125cc honda is the most popular ride down here, but in the big cities you see it all. The motorcycle riders here have no fear! the split lanes no matter what is going on or type of street. I guess a good many of them die every year, but they make the worst of our transgresions look like perfect behavior, really! I'm always saying omg that guy almost got hit!! they don't often stop at lights or stop signs, just take a quick look and go. Also there are speed bumps everywhere and some not marked, I launched a rental car off one and saw a shower of sparks in the mirrors,,ooops, but nothing happened to the car. Well, i need to come back in Feb. so lets do a bike night. I'll post something when I know the date. As always been missing all you guys and hope this year we can do some rides as i will be back for the summer time. Which means I'm going to have to score a bike, sold the GSXR1k, but really gave it away!!! I tried to call off the sale. but was too late...stupid me! Well, they made a lot more, so I'll be shopping.
Take care all, I expect to see some healthy bodies when I return.
Meh, ships that stay in port get covered in barnacles. Bones heal, chicks dig scars.
Glad you're still sticking with it. You are the wind beneath my wings, the tarmac beneath my tires.
Love to Copper Canyon, but alas, Unky Sam has made the decision I can go there until they settle that little drug problem.
What drug problem ???
They make/grow and distribute drugs, no problem. The problem comes when somebody wants to either;
A) regulate them
B) in on the action
C) more of the action
D) out of the action
I'm probably going back down next month with Yamacati Bob to scoot around a bit in the KLR's. Might do Copper Canyon, Baja, or a combination. It will really depend on the weather and our tolerance to cold more than anything.
You really need to convince your Unky, (the government) to spend a little cash on some recon missions to the area so they might get some realworld current analysis. A couple million should cover me and a squad for a couple months. Hell, I would even take pictures if they wanted. Good to hear from you, Wendall was talking about dragging the campers out to Miller the end of May for some race watching. We will have room to fit you in if you want.
Later Basher
