So does that mean you're looking for someone to race your bike for you?



I might know a guy...

Umm... maybe... But you would have to come get it.

UPDATE

Saw the Ortho Specialist today and had another Xray.

The Good news is no surgery! She said that if I was an elite athlete then she would do surgery but since I am not even a mediocre athlete it wasn't advisable

She said I won't be 100% until at least September. Looks like I need to work on the wife to let me attend the Fall Roundup

bitchin...let me know if you guys need anything.

You tell me. Alls I'm planning on doing is riding the piss out of the thing.

Can you still get your contingencies and/ or points even if it's not YOU piloting the machine?

As long as no one knows.

Coming into the new 1 (which I had practiced the day before during the advanced class with Eric Wood) and Lorna's line was a little wide while mine was more straight to close the gap she had pulled at the end of the straight under braking.

Lorna is to my left about to tip it in for her line and I am still closing the gap under braking, gonna let her lead me through the chicane's again and keep following her as I know her pace is pretty good and I have been keeping with her for the last couple laps.

Scott Mullin (expert #24) comes up on my left and turns in in front of me (it would have been clean) but Lorna turned in on her line and kinda shut the door on him (she didn't know he was there) Scott hits the brakes and does a rolling stoppie in front of me to not hit Lorna, she spots him and bails left, I squeeze a little harder on the brake and lean right to try and squeeze by Scott and the Airfence, I think I can make it for a second and then BAM I am on the ground.

I am told by Bob Stone who was behind us and saw the whole thing that Scott was "flying" with another expert as they came up on us Scott went for the pass while the other expert was behind me. I guess he didn't think I would hit the brakes again to avoid the stoppied #24 and tapped my rear tire as I was braking and turning (I thought I had washed the front but I guess that wasn't the case).

Just wanted to extend my apologies to you for my role Saturday's incident. I always hate to see anyone get hurt at the track, (especially since we're all there for fun) My closing speed was too fast to the group of bikes you were in and unfortunately could not make the passes clean enough. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope all else is well

No worries Scott, see my PM... Welcome to the forum

Don't be a stranger!

For the record I am a little pissed at the situation. I think it was a bonehead move and it shouldn't have happened, especially not in a practice where people may have had 4 laps on the new configuration. My only solace is I did nothing to cause the crash.

I have had some time to think and heal and would like to clarify my above statement. (and no this isn't just because Scott posted, I actually thought he was a member before)

As Ryan said earlier in this thread (and I agreed with) "When it comes to racing the difference between a "bonehead move" and a clean pass is decided at 100+ mph in 1/1000th of a second... sometimes things just don't go as planned".
Although the incident may have been prevented it was a race practice with inherent risks. No harm, no foul.
