This is not sounding good, please wish James from my end as well! This is the same James who rides a Kawasaki-Black with few flames and slicks on Crest few times?  :'(

Yes, Sir.  That's him.  The Kawasaki in completely demolished, so he won't be riding that one any more.

I'll pass along your well wishes.

Karl and I rode with him among my last few on Crest before the move...I still remember a blazing ride with James downhill, he would too....I could hear my heart! He is always fun and I enjoyed his company on Sandia track as well...I'm sure he will recover and be on another monster! Thanks, Scott!
Ride forever...

One last thought and I'll leave this subject.  I have James' sunglasses in my possession.  One of the lenses is scuffed up pretty badly.  They are Oakley "Half Wire" ( not Half Wire 2.0) models.  I figured I'd be nice and buy him a new set of lenses, but the glasses are old enough that Oakley has discontinued these lenses.

Anybody interested in chipping in for a new set of glasses for James?  The nearest thing I see to what he has is the Oakley Polarized Whisker at $200.  I'll kick in $50.  Any takers?

I found MotoGP Plantiff models in the Oakley Vault for $125 that he'd probably like if we can't get to $200 for the Whiskers.  The Vault is where they sell discontinued models at a discount.

Tell you guys what....I'm going to go ahead and buy a pair for him and if you want to chip in, just sent me a check or hand me a wad of cash or whatever.  Goal is $200 plus tax or shipping...whichever I have to pay, so if we get there I'll refuse....if we don't I'll eat whatever we're short.

Got him a pair of Whisker Polarized this weekend.  Total bill was $241 with a soft case and tax.

Karl kindly kicked in a $50 spot.  Thanks, Karl!

I called James this weekend and he wasn't available, but I'll get them to him at the first opportunity.  I'll pass along everyone's well wishes when I see him.  Last I heard he was about to approach his insurance agent to see what he needs to do to get back onto two wheels.  Trooper!

First things first.....

I spoke with James this afternoon and he's back at work.  Turns out he actually broke SIX ribs, a collar bone, a scapula, and had a concussion.   :o

Remind me not to crash next time you see me.  That sounds painful!

Thanks to Karl and JJ who each donated $50 to get James a new pair of glasses.  I'll try to get a picture of him wearing them when I meet him later this week for all to see.   [thumbsup]

:o ??? Was he riding naked?! Wow, I must be made of cast iron to have flipped off my bike on Crest and walk scratch less or one awful lucky SOB! I feel bad for him, that is a nasty recovery...Thank you so much for doing this Scott!  [thumbsup]

It could have been a lot worse but he was wearing top notch gear including a one piece race suit.
The bike hit the ground hard enough that Scott heard it being in front and I saw it flipping 6 feet in the air coming around the corner.
I was really glad you were wearing a back protector when you had your mishap.
Hope to see you soon [Dolph]

Just an update since a couple of more folks have kicked in to the "James' Glasses Fund".

Karl, Joel, and Stuart all donated $50, and Larry donated $20, so that's $170.  That only leaves me out $70, so that suits me fine.  Thanks to all of you who helped out.  I'm sure James will appreciate the thought, especially since he missed a couple of weeks work during his recovery.

You guys are absolutely the best!   [drink]
