    Good luck with the arm Matt.

    Remember when you tell girls the story you were fighting off a motorcycle gang with nunchucks while you where driving with the other hand....

    If you think my wrist looks bad ou should see the other guy!:cool4:

    WOW so you typed that whole post with just one hand.

    I think it's time for a 4 wheeled vehicle Dude. maybe a fourtwo smart Car. They have been in Canada for a couple of years but I guess they are now in the US

    Sorry to hear about your second accident (were the circumstances similar to the first) Get well soon man we need ya

    Wow, that has to suck. Any kind of spill you take on a motorized bike hurts like the dickens...(I went splat within one hour of being in Key West many years ago....)
    Take care!

    Wow Matt. OUCH. I scared myself on my V65 1100 Magne Honda back in the 80s and had to sell it. Anybody here ever ridden one of those? What a rocket bike that sucker was. Way too much for me, just because I like speed way to much. Sold it the next day after the scare ride.

    Matt I hope they gave you some percocet to help you with the pain. Looks like it hurts bad. How fast were you going? I hope your two wheel days are over.

    Is the 3reef website lagging lately or is it just me? Seems to load pretty slow?

    I'm starting to think that you should name that Vespa "Christine". :) Hope you heal well Matt and I'm glad that you sold that damned Vespa!

    Thanks everybody. :)

    @amcarrig - hahaha yeah 'christine' for sure. i should have just burned it to exorcise the demons!

    @Inwall - that sucks about your wrist and fingers. I probably would have made the same decision as you!

    @jay - no perc pills for me - i wish! - just vicaden.

    @jason - yeah no more 2 wheels for me - definitely not ones with 10" wheels that can go 70!

    @m_lacom99 - between my vespa and my hybrid i got a lot of grief from my friends for sure :hehe: ... jeez to think that a few years ago i had a fast car and a 10' harley chopper! what the hell happened to me? :eek: hahhaa oh well the hybrid was my ex's idea and i blew the heads on the harley. i thought the vespa would be a fun beach cruiser and i had a blast on them in school... so there you have it. i didn't think much about the fact that i am twice the age and weight that i used to be! i am sure i looked really manly. ;D

    @covey - i might use that. ;)

    @fletch - i was totally sober - this time - just didn't see it coming. :p

    @jay - i just optimized the database tables, that might help as i was overdue to do so.

    well thanks again all, i really appreciate your well wishes, you guys are great... gotta lay down now - and watch some football. 8)
