  6. altho i miss you guys im glad i moved to ky after reading all this
  7. thank you and my bike thanks you too.
  8. thanks everyone. as for court they orignally charged me with driving/riding with no licence, no insurance and improper use of blue lights. i missed the court date because 1. i was in a coma and 2. they sent the summons to the wrong adderess. then they put out a bench warrent and revoked the licence they said i didnt have in the first place. i called around to find out what was going on after i got a letter in the mail (at the right adderess) saying that my licence was revoked. then i had to drive to owenton d.a. office (which is 30 miles away) to talk to the d.a. just to have him set a new court date. then i had to go to court 3 times each trip 60 miles round trip before everything was dropped and almost had to go back to their police station to prove i remove the blue lights on my demolished front end.
  9. as some of you are aware i took a really bad spill in may and have recovered pretty well this is the progress of the bike well at least as much as i took pics of . i needed a right clipop, a fairing stay, front fairing and both headlights. got the front fairing and headlights from ebay 180.00 shipped as you can see it was the wrong color so i spent 2 days prep and wet sanding it. for useing spray paint all the sanding really paided off looks really good home paint oven lol stripped the bike down and found that mt radiator supports were bent so i fixed them and the clip on. again ebay 20 dollars shipped. and got a new rear rim and tire with 90%tread for 100 shipped finally the stay came in the mail, never buy anything during holidays. again ebay 65.00 shipped asembling the front end here the story with the blue lights, after the accident i was in a coma for 2 months, i missed a court date, and they took my licence, i dint find out til a while later. i had to got to court 5 times to explain to the judge and d.a. that i had my licence and my bike was insured and that im pa you can have decrative lights on your bike. they finally gave me my licence back but wanted proof that the lights were gone. wanted me to bring my bike to a police station to prove it, i was like, mt bike has no front end it was destroyed in the wreck. so they said nevermind. but because i have pa plates they're back hehehehe. and the almost finished bike just need to put back the inner fairing covers and mirrors
  10. i love the one with the bike and the horse, pretty cool
  11. bike damage is both headlights front fairing and fairing stay and right clipon (clipon is now fixed) scuffs to paint but they will buff out so custom paint is ok
  12. ok, i dont remember from the time i left the gas station till i woke up in the hospital about 3 weeks later. i was wearing full gear, a xpeed fullface helmet, a alpinestars rc-1 race suit, alpinestars gp pro gloves and sidi vertigo corsa boots. best we can figure is that there was something in the road that caused me to go straight after the first part of an s curve. the was no other vehicles involved that was another accident that happened at the same time. and my accident happened on rt22 just outside owenton ky. i was atleast 3mins ahead of the group so by the time the wreck was over and the dust stettled was about the same time the group went by were i was wreckked. they went to the next intersection and when i wasnt there they turned around and came back and a guy along the rode flagged them down and told them what happened. i was already lifeflighted to UK.
  13. ok i went to the p/t today and the therapist said i got a couple more weeks then im done. i've gained back most of my range of motion, still down a bit in the right shoulder which i should gain back in the following weeks. i am no longer taking pain meds. and i go tot the doctor next monday, she should prescribe physical therapy for my neck. after that its just a matter of time to finish bone healing and strength training to get me back to normal or as close to it as im ever gonna get. and im up to 130lbs thats up 10 lbs from when i got out of the hospital and up five from two weeks ago. hopefully this trend takes me to 150lbs and stays around there. i need to get out more and walk, if any one wants to walk with me and keep each other company give me a call 5025702735, jess has the truck so im stuck in g-town. anyway thanks for all your prayers, kind thoughts and well wishing between GOD, jess, my family and you all im making an excellent come back.
  14. update =1552247931&p[]=140163113141"]Share Wednesday, August 26, 2009 at 9:15pm | Edit Note | Delete just thought id let ya'll know that im doing better itll still be a few months till i supposed to be back to normal. if you havent figured it out yet we are selling the bikes and gear, this is more for financial reasons than what happened to me. me and jess are going in a new direction in our lives and it does not leave room for the sport either. i also have redevoted my life to christ and have found great comfort in him. i know that many that have near death/death and brought back experiences tend to do the same, but i was a christain before i wrecked and was poorly acting and behaving like i should have. and i feel that was one of the causes that things went so badly for me . im not just saying the accident but there are other things that happened both before and after that were a direct result of my actions. since i have turned back toward god i have found my life increaseingly getting better my marriage has improved, my healing has sped up, im a happier better person. and it seems that alot of the financail problems have righted themselves. im not trying to start some debate whether or not what im saying is right, more just giving you something to think about. as for the healing im out of my braces, walking on my own and can do most things i did before. im still in physical therapy and still have a bit of discomfort and pain but its not as bad as it was. considering i died on the table may 5th and was brought back and spent a month in a coma to be here today is a blessing. im sure that in time ill make it back to being able to be almost 100%, but ill never go back to being me. and i hope that the new me is alot better than the one that died. ps and by the way, if you didnt know i was in a motorcycle wreck that killed me and the short list of my injuries is two broken vertabra in my neck, six in my back, all but two of my ribs, my left collar bone and right shoulder blade, my sternum, collapsed both lungs and got two different types of Pneumonia. and in four months im just about normal
