ATV / Motorcycle SWAP MEET

[hondaracer31]

I went to the specialist today.
I do not have a broken bone, it was an old fracture. (I have broken bones near that shoulder 3 or 4 times)
The doc thinks I bruised my rotator cuff, he also said it MIGHT be torn slightly but he thinks it will heal by itself. I have another appointment in 3 weeks, if it's not much better I will be getting a shot.
I won't be riding for awhile anyway. I need a new helmet and I'm thinking about getting a neck brace. I'm getting FAR too old for this kind of abuse!!!

glad to hear your ok Barry! I hate to see people getting hurt at the track. It's supposed to be fun...not painful Hope you heal up soon.

Thanks Les. It was good to see you there.

Now that I'm 40 and ache all the time, what am I going to feel like when I'm 60??????

Glad to hear the doc thinks you will heal up fine without any type of surgery. I was really looking forward to riding with you Memorial Day weekend. I told Connie you were definitely in for a new helmet. I think the Leatt or the EVS is a really good idea.

Sorry I didn't make it up. I ended up racing in the 40+ class at Birch Creek in Danville, VA on Saturday. I placed 2nd overall. I don't want to reveal too much because I want to do a detailed post of my experience hoping to encourage others to try racing even if it is only once.

My last thought is you will eventually wipe out on every jump on a track...it is only a question of whether it is on your 1st attempt, 100th attempt, or even millionth. Eventually, it is going to happen. I almost bit it on that same jump last time I was there. I took the inside corner which doesn't give a lot of room so you have to be under full throttle. My quad slipped a little sideways as I went off the jump. I landed 1/2 over the side of the lander with Dan coming over the jump behind me. I managed to stay on my quad though. That is a tricky little double if you cut the corner short!!

email me your home address so I can send you the video footage I took of you.

I know what you mean Barry. I spent 2 hours at the chiropractor this morning trying to get my 3 year old back problem fixed. I feel like a 70 year old man in a 36 years old body

Barry,

Glad to hear your doing ok and that its not too serious. Hopefully you'll be riding again soon. As far as how you'll feel when your 60 - its too late now to worry about it, just keep doing what your doing and have fun. Worry about being 60 when you get there.

.... thats my plan anyway!!

Jon,

Congradulations on the 2nd place finish in your first race, thats pretty awesome. I'm sure you had a blast. Now we'll be expecting big things from you at the MEMORIAL DAY NIGHT RACE Here.
