  1. I'm sure they will. If they didn't they'd basically be admitting to making a mistake, which a hospital will never do for legal reasons.
  2. So, I had surgery on my "completely torn" distal bicep tendon on Tuesday. The orthopedic surgeon saw in the MRI that the tendon was completely torn from the bone, which will never heal on it's own and can only be repaired surgically. When I came out of anesthesia the surgeon tells me they opened up my arm but didn't fix anything and closed me back up. It turned out the tendon that was "completely torn from the bone" was just fine and completely attached how it is supposed to be. Basically the surgeon misread the MRI and cut me open for no reason. The surgeon tells my "maybe" I tore some internal tendon fibers but he couldn't find them during surgery. Now my arm is still messed up pretty bad. I only have about 20% strength in my bicep. So, either the surgeon missed something or it's a severe strain that will heal without surgery.
  3. This is why I like my VFR12. I slabbed it all the way to the Gap and felt fine. It did just fine on in the twisties when I got there.
  4. Since this is turning into a steak thread, Delmonico's in Independence is surprisingly good. I've gotten better steak there than other places that cost twice as much.
  5. I am really picky about high end steak. I usually wind up cooking them myself. Best at a restaurant was a double filet at Morton's in Vegas.
  6. Get a bottle of wine from the year you were married. Tell her you bought it then and have been saving it until now.
  7. Your mouth is a sticky velcro pocket of regret
  8. I am not so sure lighter is better for a street bike.
  9. Sorry to hear this. I can feel you pain. I met with my orthopedic surgeon today. I completely tore my distal bicep tendon...tore it right off the bone. Recovery is 4-6 months
  10. ...and just like that I can't eat roast beef anymore
  11. That fly screen looks this terrible
  12. My vote is for sale.

    GoodBye

    Where are you going
  14. I've chased and been chased by that Z for many of those 21k miles. An easy way to pick it up is to get a one way rental car (Avis) and ride it home. I've bought many bikes that way.

    Fall Gap Trip 2016

    Life decided I needed a stiff smack in the balls. Put me in Casper's group.
  16. Right arm. No previous injuries I'm aware of. Just a freak thing. It made a nasty sound, loud enough for other people to hear it.
  17. I busted my ass to get back on 2 wheels last year after neck/nerve issues. Life got me again just when I wasn't expecting it. I'll make it back in time for next season, and I'll ride to the gap next year. So...anyone want to buy a V Star?
