Dropped the 695 on gravel. I'll be ok I guess.
Hope the shift lever can be bent back or I'll have a
one gear bike. Waiting for a doc to see the knee.
Ouch... Glad it isn't any worse than it sounds. Keep us posted and let us know if you need anything.
ah bummer... :(
How bad's the knee? Where's the bike now? Post up if there's anything we can do.
Thanks I'll let you know [thumbsup]
pics or it didn't happen. ;D
sorry to hear that! Glad you're ok though [thumbsup]
as far as the shift lever, make sure you give it a little heat before you start bending. It's very easy to cause cracks if you don't do it properly, let us know if you need anything
sorry to hear about that, dan. hope they fix up your knee quick and you didn't do a whole lot of damage to you or the bike. let me know if you need help with something

He sent me a photo, trust me, not safe for lunch - nasty gash across the top of the knee - he's at Presby getting it cleaned and stitched - I can probably get him back across town to N. Dallas - I think the lil' Monster may need a trailer ride - I have to work later so maybe someone can pitch in there ...
if it's at all ridable i can have bryna take me over there after work to ride it back to your place

You asked for it. :D send me your phone no if
anyone else wants pics [cheeky]
damn man!
I've got a spare shorty reverse shifter for Monsters we can throw on there to get it home, or around until you get lever fixed.
not sure if it's the same fitment, but you can use my shifter for the next week or so if it is. i can drop it off after work if it fits... chime in plz josh on fitment.

Rich is an expert at riding Monsters stuck in one gear!! [laugh]
Seriously, really sorry about the drop and the knee. Just glad it wasn't any worse. Where's the scooter now? Is it safe? I have a trailer set up for bike hauling and a pick up and I'm always looking for something to do. ;D

That would be awesome! It's at the Jareds
at Valley View Mall. Pm me your phone if u can help
They all use the same spline at the motor - old MTS and HYM are interchangeable at the lever (iirc) and all DSS Monsters with OEM rearsets should be interchangeable too.

PM sent. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was washing the Gixxer in my driveway. I'm finished now.
pm sent
or if anyone knows generally whereabouts dan lives that's also helpful... just trying to coordinate with the girlfriend who has derby practice later and needs to use the car, and wanted to know how far away it will be from valley view mall
Rich,
Did Dan contact you? I sent him my home and cell #s but haven't heard from him yet. I'm still up for getting the bike with my trailer... or helping in any other way. Anyone have Dan's cell #, if so please PM me.
Thanks.
haven't heard back from him yet; don't have his number. if he lives fairly near the mall it shouldn't be a problem for me to get it to his place; just need to have bryna back by 6ish so that she can head out for practice
Dan just called me. He's back at work. Donald gave him a ride from Presbyterian Hospital. He's going to call me when he gets off work and I will get the bike and take Dan/scooter home. [thumbsup]
okay man.... sounds good. thanks for helping him out; tell him hope he gets healed up quick.
Ok. Guess I was loopy. The bike is rideable and a
guy here at work will get it home and I have a ride
for me too.
Thanks a ton for Donalds help and all the offers!!!
[thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup].
I'll post later after I get some workdone
Wow! Dan, so sorry to hear about the spill but I hope you're feeling better soon!
Yes, Sorry to hear about this Dan, just glad you are not to hurt.
And nice to see all the offers of help, make me glad I know this bunch. [thumbsup]
Mistake no2. Should have said yes to the crutches [bang]
Yes, in spite of our badass, kick your teeth out, spitting, cussing, knife/gun wielding, hooligan attitude we are a pretty decent bunch. ;D No kidding, I (and Jennifer) am still in awe of the outpouring of help from the group when I broke my neck. You guys and her friends helped her get through all the trauma and drama. [thumbsup] Me, I was fine... so doped up I lost two weeks of my life. Have no idea what happened. [laugh]
Glad all of this has worked out for Dan. Doesn't sound like the bike damage is too bad. His knee sounds worse than the bike! Thanks George for PMing Dan's phone #.
Dan,
Just saw your post. I happen to have a set of crutches... don't ask me why. [bang] I could run them up to the store before you go home. [thumbsup] Call me.
sorry to hear, if I was in town I'd help. Glad you're only lightly skinned up. [thumbsup]
oh and as for crutches I have metal ones not wooden ones like Fastwin from 1934. :P
let me know and you can borrow them if you promise to put Duc stickers on it.
Sorry I was unavailable to help out Dan!
Let me know if you need anything
Thanks Dax and Josh and everyone else!
On the bright side no more chicken strips on the right
and I drug a knee!! [roll]
[laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Good one! This dude is gonna be hurting tonight and beyond. So folks stay in touch with Dan and keep up with the offers of help. Wasn't a bad wreck but his injuries are gonna hurt like hell and he will be hobbled up for a little while. I'm sure this group will pitch in. [thumbsup] [clap]
[bow_down] Hope work was ok - hope you are able to get some rest :P
I get in tomorrow so let me know what you need. I too drug a knee and it hurt for weeks. :'(
Just getting back to civilization and just saw this...
Hope you're healing up OK Dan!!! :-\
Drug a knee, need a drug :P. It's not so bad, thanks
for all the help and offers [thumbsup]
I'm even getting by without pain meds. Well not the
one they gave me 8)
Brian, yep when you get your shoulder worked on
bathroom chores become interesting. ;D
I made it to the store but didn't get enough sterile
rolled gauze. See pic on FB. I may have walked too
much today. I'm swollowing some more pride and
asking for help. No hurry though.
Whatcha need?
I can run whatever you need on over.
Can't help tonight, leaving in a minute for baseball games and grabbing dinner on the way. If you need something tomorrow give me a ring. [thumbsup]
I'm free and may live closer.
I'm covered [thumbsup]
help is on the way

very cool [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [thumbsup] [clap]
Scott brought me a care package when I was in the hospital... a bottle of Wild Turkey! [laugh] Still have it, it was too funny a gift to drink!! ;D Way to go Nurse Lisa, sweet treats help cure everything! [thumbsup] Dan, hope you are feeling better.
where's the hydrocodone?

All those puppies are staying in the bottle if I
have my say 8)
I still have some but the date on the bottle is Oct. 2007. Advil and heating pad are better friends. [cheeky]
Just saw this and I'm really sorry to hear you are banged up, Dan. Don't forget your RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Get well soon.
Come Sunday, we have a comfy recliner and foot rest we can setup in front of the TV for you [thumbsup]
