You guys are something else! I can't even read this post without going for the box of tissue. I will be sending each of you a PM when I feel a little better. Ninjakiller we need to talk. I hope you didn't do something that will burden you, i don't want you to think I don't appreciate what you did, but thats way beyond the call of duty. I even got a pm from Tuskigi today and they are going to replace my right can! I owe you all a hugh debt of gratitude.
No you don't that is what this board is all about one big family.

Folks, I just got another call from Shawn - we're up to $1,250.00 !!!!!
You folks are simply AMAZING!!!
Strong work!
why not the right arm?...are you...oh my..thats nasty(GSXcite @ Sep. 06 2007,11:21) Hello all. I'm finding it hard to read through this post without getting all emotional. When we send a part or make a donation to a member in need, it has always made me feel good to know I have helped that member in some small way. I guess I never expected to be on the receiving end, and to say it makes you feel humble is an underststement. Thanks so much for your calls and posts. I would give my right arm for any of you, but right now that wouldn't be such a great deal for you, so please accept my left one for now!You people are the best! Thanks again, Hal
sorry folks i could'nt resist. speedy recovery Hal
p.s. never mind the thread tittle
Sure thing. My day off is on Wednesdays. With rain forcast for the afternoon, I decided to take a short ride to a small town about 40 miles from home and have breakfast with some friends at a small country diner in Excelsior Springs, Mo. The road I took is a nice two lane with a few nice turns and elevation changes. I have rode this route many times, and know each corner well. About 3/4 of the way there I was setting up for a right hand corner that cames right after a small rise in the road. I think the speed limit on that corner is 25, and I was running about 35 to 40 mph. This was the last of approx. 8 turns on this road where it goes down to 25 mph. As I came over the rise, I downshifted and applied some front and rear brake and turned the bike into the corner. Just as I started the turn in, a hugh buck mule deer jumped up on the inside of the corner out of the ditch. I stood the bike up to try to go around the deer and widen my line. When I could no longer see the deer , I tried to lean back into the corner and make the turn, but I was out of room. I applied some more brake trying to make it, but the bike lowsided and I slid through the turn, off the road, and took out a large stop sign with my head, my shoulder and the front of the busa. Without a good helmet, I don't think I would be alive today. Omar and I talked about it yesterday, but I don't know what I could have done different except been going slower. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH TO ANYONE READING THIS, PLEASE GET THE BEST GEAR YOU CAN AFFORD, AND WEAR IT EVERY TIME YOU RIDE. Although I'm beat up and feel like I have been run over by a truck, I will live to ride another day. Thanks for all your support. THE WAY YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER HAS LEFT ME SPEECHLESS, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO KNOW ME, KNOW THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN. THANK YOU SO MUCH, HAL(OZZY @ Sep. 06 2007,21:47) hal,
i dont mean to be nosey but would u mind sharing what exactly happened to cause u to take the spill?
Well Hal at least it was a deer I was talking to Scott our Total Rider instructor up at the Shop I work at and he had a simular story but his involed 3 imues now what do you tell fellas "hey I laid my bike down because Big Bird and his friends were in the Road" not making fun of you Hal but I had to share that story with you because I was tell Scott about your story yesterday and his story was funny the way he told it also he wanted me to pass along to you he hopes you get better soon so you can get back on the Bike.
