    Uncle Snake, down

    Short version: Yesterday around noon, I had what what was described by my riding partner as a "spectacular" high-side. Between an ambulance ride and (2) emergency rooms we got home around midnight. Orthopedic appointments to follow.....

    Michelle was AWESOME dealing with me an getting the bike on the trailer and home!!!!!!

    I'll offer up some more detail tonight, but for now:
    concussion
    dislocated and fractured left wrist
    fractured left clavicle
    deeply bruised lower back and right clavicle, very difficult to walk with lower back pain.....
    bruised regular back(you can see the indentions and bruised caused by my articulated back protector, it did it's job wonderfully but the bruise shapes are kinda neat...)

    The zrx will most likely be totaled as gas tank, gages, front fairing, etc are smashed all to shit.....

    I'll post more later.


    Regards, Jake

    Dude , Jake!

    Bummer man. Sounds like you made out well for a 'spectacular highside". Heal up quickly and build up a new bike!

    Take it easy for a while.

    Snake is known for his smooth/fast riding, not his aerial acrobatics...it was a little scary for the first minute or two. I can post some pics after Snake takes a look at them.

    Jesus Snake! You're a trooper. Busted as hell and you're still posting and appear to be in a relatively good mood. Good for you. Heal up fast!
