Default Hi all, bad news from upstate New York

Hi,
I was riding my Z on some snowmobile trails with some friends here in New York last night. All I can say is that the trails were awesome. Until I started back to my house and it started raining. The trails started to deteriorate. I was riding across a field when out of nowhere a "T" intersection came up. I jumped on the binders only to slide sideways and highside my bike. Now I sit here typing while letting my "broken in 5 pieces" collar bone heals. I guess this roll over gives me a good reason to get a set of TAG bars and maybe a new steering stem. I suppose that when the rear of my bike was sliding sideways , I should have pinned the throttle, got the a$$ end spinning and maybe came out of that a bit dizy instead of catching the rut and flipping. Well, I have to order some new parts. Happy New Year to all of you here.

Carey

rehab your body right and youl be back in no time....I hate to think what I should have done...If I was three inches further back in body positioning I would have cleared the double and not bruised my ribbs and innards

Sorry to hear that smokinltz[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I was out for six months with a broken back. I'm allowed to ride now and am getting ready to go back to work. but all I can say is defiantly wait till you get completely healed before riding again. good luck with your recovery[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Tanks guys. My doctor says it'll be about 4-6 months before it is completely healed. I see that it'll give me time to get my bike ready to race this summer. Not gonna ride till it's healed since I don;t wanna screw it up and wait even longer to heal. 6 months is gonna be waaaayyyyy to long anyway. Well, I'm gonna have a beer or two and wathc the ball drop. Everyone have a great new year.
