So far it's me, Hammer, Kawboy, and another Cajun...
Who else is going...

There are still openings if you are looking for a trackday!

Take a look here - Desmo of Indiana

Maybe 1 less, Kawboy called me a while ago and was on his way to a Hospital in Richmond In. with a re-injured knee. This has been an ongoing injury from a previous bike incident that just reared it's ugly head.

Get well soon.

Kawboy called and Dr. don't think he actually blew it out may just be a bad strain.

All is fair in love and track days, the little Mrs's must be there.

We have to meet the woman that can put up with you.

That doesn't sound good. (I'm so glad my tires weren't mounted last night...)

Either you no longer have pristine bodywork or the "little lady" finally got tired of your BS..


Hope all is well.

We had a bad freaking day...one WADDED 954, one rashed 929, one blown up ZX10, 2 ambulance rides, and a 2 broken beaten bruised bodies....luckily no head spine or back injuries...

If you believe in Karma, this was my payback day I guess....too many great trackdays all equalized in a couple of rag doll moments...

Re: Putnam August 6th - Desmo (Stoopid Hurts - New & Improved w/ Pics)
I'm in pretty good shape...sprained/broken ankle, banged knee, cracked rib, bashed tailbone and a few strains and bruises...I unloaded at around 80 or so, and tumbled a bit when I went into the grass...took awhile to get stopped I guess...... My gear worked awesome...

I'm hoping Hammer will check in soon, he had a pretty dramatic high side exiting the bus stop this the morning, and was pretty banged up. He finally let us talk him in to going to see the docs, so I hope that he is patched up by now...

Dayum Bake! Sounds like you beat up on yourself pretty badly. Glad it wasn't worse, and hope you heal fast. I'm almost afraid to ask but, how is the bike?
