Default Good news....I'm alive, bad news...

trashed my motorcycle last night. Got off easy with a broken big toe, severe sprained ankle and road rash on the right arm. How ironic, new kevlar reinforced riding jacket and race boots on their way in the mail. Had I had those on last night, I would have dusted off and walked away. The helmet and carbon fibre/kevlar gloves did save me a considerable hopital stay.

What a way to spend a vacation :-(

Default Those stairs at Gin Mill are going to be a PITA on crutches



Sorry to hear about this Pete, sounds really painful and definitely makes my current car headache seem very minor.

Let me know if you need anything.
