I had a pretty bad crash last summer... (video)

Wow! Glad you're still in one piece. I have a rebuilt metal reinforced ankle as well, from a crash 7yrs ago at HPR at the end of the back straight. Even with PT and good painkillers, I live daily with the pain of arthritis and about 90% range of motion. But you learn to adapt and keep on going. My previous office job was actually worse for my ankle due to long periods sitting. Movement actually lessens the stiffness and aches. +1 on the bicycling and/or hiking. As for riding, I had my doubts as well, until the day I sat on my bike and turned the key. Ride or not, best of luck in your continued recovery.

I am like you with a partially rebuilt titanium leg. I rock 18 titanium screws and 2 plates. They often hurt and I limp when the weather changes but, I never considered not riding again. Accidents happen, shit happens, I just love riding motorcycles way too much to quit easily. "That shit be calling me" -Chris Rock

Hope you heal up!

WOW! You and that dirt bike rider parked on the side of the road are hella lucky! This is the price we pay for the love of motorcycles! Stay safe!

This is absolutely not true. This is the price you pay when you ride too fast.

I'm truly glad he is more or less ok, please don't misinterpret this post. Justin and I have been friends for a long time, and I'd never wish anything like this upon him. But I'm glad he will continue to be there for his family.

Got to disagree with you there man....seem more than one wreck that had everything to do with a car not paying attention and nothing the bike could do. We had a member die because a cow was in the road, so you never know what could happen Don't be naive and think you will be able to prevent every accident now matter how good a rider you are. With all these cars that don't pay attention when driving....that is who scares me....not my riding skills.

I get what you mean though man and when you speed you increase your chances of a wreck greatly. In this case I agree with you and was about going way too fast and that is what caused this one....which caused him to drift into those slippery yellow lines at a full lean.
