Hey guys... Im still healing from a crash I had in little rock on the 18th of June.. I hit a dog and then hit the pavement real hard.. I was doing about 35- 40 and hit him square.. there was little time to do anything.. I ended up with a broken collar bone, shoulder blade and three ribs... the ribs are still very painful... I wasn’t wearing a helmet and was very lucky... Ill be wearing one from now on Im pretty sure.. at any rate Im getting the bike repaired and will be considering a custom paint job.. any suggestions?? let me know.. I like a dark black cherry but have little idea on any pattern or graphix.... I sure am looking forward o getting back on the road but I think Ill be a little more aware of any animals close to the road from now on..

Holler at me when you all can.. Bud..

Glad to hear you are comin' along...Did the broken colar bone rib thing last year and know it sux. Also have had the same thing going on with a local German Sheppard for the lasy year. I have warned his owners of the consequences and haven't seen him lately so perhaps they listened. I still haven't got to meet you or ride with you and am looking forward to that day. I just got back from Colorado and had agreat time except that I had to leave early due to altitude sickness...Better get in training before next year- because I do plan on trying it again. If ya need anything let me know...Oh yeah, I did see this awesome paint job.It was either birdmans or nuke ems bike..Dark cherry red with these skulls deep in the paint that you could only see when close up...It was excellent...Beutiful stuff. I myself am wanting something in real deep forest/hunter/emerald green with gold inlays....Hopefully I will win the lottery too,. hee-hee. Well, keep the healing going...we'll keep the fast lane cleared for your return! K-dog

Hey Kev, Glad to hear you made it back ok. I had read where you left early from the altitude sickness and know where your coming from as I suffered some of it myself especially up on Mt. Evans. He bro I will do Colorado with ya next year and maybe we can round up a few more by then. I loved meeting everybody at Stans house for steak and a B.S. session and I loved the ride from Borger to Englewood. Give me a holler whenever you want to ride again. Later, B.P.
