Down goes Frazier...Down goes Frazier!!! Uh, Foster, that is...

[Porsche Monkey]

Damn Paul, I don't know how I missed this.  I am glad to hear that you are in good spirits and doing okay.  Sorry to hear about the bike.  Great to hear that Geiko is working with you instead of against. 
Get well soon, Jon

[hiero]

sorry to hear about the accident!  glad you're ok, maybe a short getaway in the hill country may make your injuries feel better?   

[Gone Ape]

Man, I would love to get back on it....the collarbone says NO,  no, no....

I will be back in the saddle as soon as possible you can count on it!! 
The hardest part now is all the insurance/doctor/paperwork b.s.....but the pills are GREAT

[spaceghost65]

Paul, I've been out of pocket, I'm sorry this happened. Let me know how i can help. I hope things are getting better.

[Gone Ape]

Well kiddies, ONCE AGAIN my friends take care of me....RipTearShred came to my rescue and
 took the Tuono down to AF-1 today.....and worked for food and gas.....Thank you Rich, you don't know how much this means to me..........even though you are apparantly a cheap date!!!!






and the diagnosis is.......TOTALLED

Great......not pleased at all.

And to add to the fun and frolic, it looks like the Terd who sideswiped me doesn't have insurance (alledgedly),  left a fax number as his contact phone number with the cops, as well as  a "funky" military address for Ft. Hood that looks incomplete.  On top of that, His company's agent notified my agent yesterday that there were "coverage issues" and requires them to further investigate but we alllll know that translates to dooooooschbag's gonna get some legal thrown his way.  Bastid.  I think the Army uses Levenworth to deal with degenerates, don't they?

Geico has been phenomneal...freaking all over it, but I wanted (and rightfully so) his ins to pick up the tab....translation: We Gonna Jack Yo Rates Boy Come Re-Up time...heh heh heh.....more to follow, sigh... .

Dammit! Sorry to hear about the bike Paul.   

Douche Bags SUCK!

Is the bike worth buying back? I know you're pretty handy with a wrench. Just saying. 

What's the word on the clavicle? You going under the knife?

[Gone Ape]

Clavicle = 3 breaks a few floating chips   No Knife 

Doc is with Texas Orthopedic Group and is connected with UT/Toros/Baylor sports teams....he says out of 100 he sees he only "needs" to operate on 2.

 Since I'm not an interior lineman with the Longhorns and must play next week, rest and relax should do it......so i guess since the bones are not showing thru to sunshine...I'm golden.  Dammit, I guess the Bol D'or will have to wait until next year!!!

Hey Dr. Joe....need a pros opinion on collarbones/aftermath and riding a superbike style (RSVR) seating arrangement....I wonder at my age if I'm gonna retain strength enough to support myself on clip-ons....What do you think??

I'm gonna have to see how the Adjuster presents the offer first...too many variables at this time to see if I'm gonna keep the bike...wink wink..

[Pedro-bot]

That's great news Paul. One less thing to worry about. Trust me on this, being in a hospital can be more dangerous than riding a motorcycle.  You didn't hear that from me though.

Paul, at your age the only thing I would think safe for you to ride is a wheelchair. LOL
Kick 'em while they're down my pops always said. 

I heard Ducati is making a hypermotard. 

[Gone Ape]

Motards = HIGH$IDES     NUFF SAID 


Right again you are brutha Joe.....Chairs are my salvation!!!!

I wish  I wish I wish...Charles Bronson Signature Series "Equalizer"

Oh to have had this last Sat night!!

[Gone Ape]

If Ducati had a Dealership as Aprilia does w/ AF-1 there would be no question.....

I have a clash of creative differences with Ducati Austin, but that's just me speaking...

I prefer a certain style of customer/franchise interaction and even after all the rope I've given, I'll never go back....they've earned their rep w/me......just one man's opinion.

Any and all Supermotards spell one thing & one thing only to me ::   Highside.......at speed on asphalt.....

[azoomm]

  I'm so sorry to hear about the fly and slide.  Though, I'm so VERY glad you are (for the most part) ok.  Great seeing you yesterday!!

[ducky]

Hey Paul, sounds like you have the opportunity to mod that totaled Ape to something really cool during your down time     The 1100 Monster looks pretty good as well  to replace that totaled Ape!

[scoobydoo]

 Bus ride to Brackenridge ER...wheeee!!!!  Joe, you were right..."legendary nursing staff" does certainly apply ..

WTF, When I got my bus ride to Brackenrids I got 2 nurses - one was about 150 years old and the other was a dude.

Seriously .. hope you heal up quick.

[Gone Ape]

Damn, I'm feeling the love here folks!!!   

Send some M-1 Tankers way...he fell off yesterday... broke his left tibia.....

Bad streak of baddddd luck for the Austin punks this summer....For sure Team Aprilia Austin has had it's share of beat-down.....and speaking of summer, we rode in the furnace  allthis summer to get to this....fall riding and now a bunch of us are down.....

Alvin, I think you want me to back to Duc?  I don't know, it's kinda hard to tell!!!       I'll mention that options are definitley being evaluated for sure...as soon as I get the numbers back this week, I'll have a better idea of what I can do...

Scooby....we went to see a buddy a week or so before at Brack and indeed--fugly fugly fugly......."Legendary" suddenly became an inside joke between us...however....for me the clouds parted, sun broke through angels sang and OMG /schwing/boom goes the dynamite smokin ooow-oooh walked in my room!!!  So I'm a believer...bummer 'bout your experience..buzzkill I'm sure...

That was a rhetorical comment I made about the hypermotard. 

Ya, they're pretty much just a wheelie machine made for hooliganism. I can't afford such bravado. The silver lining on this whole thing is that you my friend are finding yourself in the midst of a great time for motorcyclists with new models being released lately or soon. Also, the timing couldn't be better for shopping with the MC show coming to town in a few weeks. Not a bad way to spend some down time.

M1 Tanker?! What? Details please. The motard or the ST? That BLOWS. Tibia huh? OUCH. Hope he's ok.

There's some bad mojo floating around in that area. What's needed is someone to purge that bad mojo. May I suggest this person, I hear she does wonders with spooky TV sets.
