Timmy's back (sorta) a few pics...
Hi guys. First things first - I know that I havent been on now in a while... and I have NOT forgotten that I owe some people either parts or cash. I'm an honest guy, please dont worry and trust me when I say taht I will take care of you all on those items.
If you'll bear with me for a bit, I'll tell you my story. I've been away for good reason: I layed my bike down at about 45mph. After work, on my way home a car pulled out in front of me as they were trying to make a left hand turn across traffic. I was in the center lane, but managed to clip the left rear of the car and slide into the curb.
The bike is totalled for sure. I made it out with a bit of road rash on my back, legs, and sides... the worst of the damage is two badly broken arms. After I ditched the bike, I slid into the curb myself, but with my hands out to stop the impact. Needless to say, both my forearms snapped clean.
I'm outta surgery about a week and a half now, and things are going nicely. Swelling is going down already, but finger movement is VERY tough. This message has litterly taken me like 30 minutes now. On to some pics for you.

I'm home now, but limited very much. I'll be checking the forums as much as possible, and having some friends help me out with boxing and shipping parts out.
If anyone needs me AT ALL, please feel free to call me. I hate to feel like a slouch on any deals I've got pending.

Wow, that had to hurt. I'm glad your ok. I hope you have a speedy recovery. I am in complete sgreement with Onlyonthurs. I'd love a bike but there are just too many stupid people on the road that will get me killed.

There is no messing around while you are on a street bike. This is exactly why I leave all my play to the dirt. I personally have been cut off hundreds of times in the short 3 years that I have been riding on the street. Mind you I have been riding for close to 13 years now.
From one rider to another I hope that you have a speedy recovery...

Well Shane, all I can say is that is one hell of a way to save your face. Must be a pretty one for that sacrifice. lol.
Glad to see you are recovering. For the haters on the parts, send them 8X10 glossys in thier package. Picture is worth 1000 words and you have a legitimate reasons for any delays.

Sean,
I had a feeling that something was wrong so I didnt send my hit squad to your front door. Deal with your pain first. Im in no hurry.
Hope you feel better.

aw, **** man, i ought to send you a bag of weed, but theyve probably got you on some pretty cool painkillers. ive had 7 broken bones and i know exactly what you are going thru.
dont even try to push yourself as far as recovering goes or you'll pay for it 10 fold, trust me.(no mastrubating)
take care, and god bless

^ you cant do that. If he stops his beater muscle will atrophy; TRUST ME. It took way to long to build that **** back up. I recommend half strokes for now and gradually work your way back.
