Looks like it is just cosmetic. The left side of the upper is broke. Foot peg is lose and I Think the subframe is bent again Helmet is toast as well as my suit. I think I saw my suit at UAB in several pieces
That suit can't be repaired lol Back from the doctor. Brake in the scapula was worse than thought but still no surgery. Found another broke bone. My thumb on the good hand is fractured
Thats good news Jimbo....about the surgery that is.... I could come over and kick ya in the balls if it will make you feel better??
Where do I send my address? Lol. It's crazy Mark. I grow a set and start to speed up and then lose em in one day. Now I got to start growing them again. Looking at about three months down and I already want back on the bike

Does it look as bad as the one in this picture?? I have seen then at least this bad before and they somehow get worn again. Send pics and we'll see what we can do. http://racingleather.com/repairs.html
Dude you didnt lose em... You just shaved them.... You should be back on in no time... Riding or not get to the track ASAP and have some fun...
Jimmy, I had an ortho friend of my wife tell me I didnt need surgery. I went to doctor andrews. Andrews insisted i'd be crazy not to do surgery. I said ok and thankful I did. Its better now than my good shoulder. Don't be afraid to get a second opinion if you think you need it.
+1 on Second opinion Jimmy. You need a guy that specializes in sports med too...as you expect a lot more out of your body than a 'normal' person might. Zipping around the track at 120+ isn't the same as sitting on your lazyboy watching NASCAR.. Lastly, which rearset you need? You need that part back? I don't think the 1K rearsets match the 750 or I'd send em to you... Feeling any better?
I HAD MY ORTHO LOOK AT IT. THE SCAPULA WAS BROKE A LOT MORE THAN UAB TOLD ME PLUS MY RIGHT THUMB WAS BROKE IM BACK AT WORK TODAY AND IT SUCKS
I THOUGHT SO TOO AND THEY DID LOOK ME OVER REALLY GOOD BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT I PREFER MY OWN ORTHO. SAME THIN HAPPENED IN 2000. I WENT TO THE ER WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A BROKEN ANKLE. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SPRAINED. A WEEK LATER I FOUND OUT IT WAS BROKE USING THE SAME X RAYS AS THE ER USED
all the gunshot victims in the bham area are transported to UAB. UAB has a very good trauma care unit. ortho is not their specialty. and apparently neither is reading x-rays.
DUDE WHILE WAS THERE 1 BURN VICTIM FROM MONTGOMERY 1 GUY FLAT LINED BEFORE HE GOT THERE 1 FELLOW FELL DOWN TWENTY STEPS WHAT REALLY UPSET ME WAS THE FACT THEY WOULD NOT LET MY WIFE BACK THERE WITH ME THEY DONT REALIZE THAT SHE WAS GOING TO MAKE THEIR NEXT TRAUMA VICTIM OUT OF ONE OF THEM
UAB is good for Trauma. What worries me is that Birmingham Fire EMS don't have narcotics on the ambulances, so, even if you snap your femur, no pain meds until you get to the hospital :shock: Jimbo, get better soon! I took my broken arm all the way back to Nashville in March. I figured I'd be waiting a few hours anyway, might as well be on my way home
