    When will the nOObs stop crashing? Suck it up and stop your bitching.

    Just kidding. Bummer to hear this, Sean. Glad you're okay and that the bike faired fairly well. It could have been much worse. Let me know if you need anything.

    Its funny you say that I did my first "real" stoppie ever on accident. coasting down T.R.R. was getting rediculous so I started fucking around to keep from being bored. popped the bike in nuetral pulled the keys and turned to show my buddy when the cars in front of us stopped. 10 mph was how fast we were rolling but I grabbed the front brake and pulled the rear tire way up in the air let her down and stopped an inch from the cars back bumper. BTW did I tell you there was a hundred foot drop 16 inches to my right lol. Whoops.

    Get better Grim we still got videos to shoot.

    Glad your still with us.

    I was lazy yesterday. I was wrenching on my son's car and had to make two quick runs to the auto parts store on my XR. I put on a helmet and gloves, but just wore the t-shirt and shorts I was already wearing. I'm glad I'm not telling a story like yours today. My story would have a lot more blood and road rash.

    Re: Grim down....

    Haven't met you but am glad to hear it was not worse.

    As far as tail bones go they hurt bad for a while but there isn't anything that can be done for them....ibuprofen. As for your wrist redness, HEAT, and swelling = a broken bone. Just something to watch for, hope you heal quickly!

    Thanks for the advice 100% positive it's sprained absolutly no redness or swelling. Tailbone is bruised and I have cuts on my upper ass where the bike literally tried rape me. Also sore I my left leg and right shoulder. Just going to take it easy fix the bike and let it sit pretty for a little bit.

    Re: Grim down....

    Thanks ImortalUK it looks like the ninja will be back to 100% this upcoming weekend he searched for the parts I needed and found all of them at an awesome price! if the wrist isn't up to it by next weekend i may need a hand or two taking all of the fairings off and putting the new ones on. I would be more than willing to provide some pizza and beer to anyone who wants to help out or even just shoot the shit.


    Thanks again to everyone for all of the well wishes it is much appreciated!

    Grim I could be available to help. I have a breakfast meeting until 10am Saturday, after that I am free. I am not exactly a WYOTech grad, but I know the difference between a phillips and a flat head.

    You didn't miss much today unless you like going slower than the speed limit and looking at leaves.
