Crashed!

Relax... I was on my mountain bike. I fell 30-40 feet down a clif/drainage ditch, bounced twice, and dislocated my shoulder.

I am supposed to go to see "Ramair21" in Stockton tomorrow for some tranny work but this might have squished that. Maybe not. I feel pretty good right now all stoned on Dilaudid and Valium. My bike is still at the bottom of the ditch.

I guess I was lucky.

Whew~

Well, with a separated shoulder it was all I could do to walk much less haul my *** out of the ditch. I swear it was about 30-40 feet. I literally bounced 2,3 times on the rocks going down. I;ve got scrapes all over myself.

I went to Stockton after I got up this morning (didn't sleep well at all -- in pain) and met up with Joey ("Ramair21"). Took about an hour to put a corvette servo in the 700R4.

Amazing difference!!!!

I'll post up pics of the Stockton trip in another thread but here is a teaser:



I'm off to go get the bike now. I'll add those pics in a few...

Ouch out.

Here are the pics form the crash recovery. I'm sure Borla, our fearless, randomly present moderator will find them equally as cute as my last pics.



This trail goes down about a 40% grade until you come to the bottom where there is a drainage ditch marked with the arrow.



This is my buddy hauling my bike out of the hole... It was about 40 feet down. In this shot he is nearing the top.



There you go.

hey given your record, in that first pic i'd keep my eye on the road if i were you, or you might end up driving that down a hill too!

that looks like a fun bike riding trail though if you didnt get hurt.

Danger Will Robinson Danger!

Looks like one thorny-a$$ spot to take a spill, I can barely see your friend in there.

I like the Camaro in the mirror pic

Looks like a nice fall, glad you are ok for the most part. The other Camaro in the pic with the SS hood looks sweet, same hood I want for my car.
