like adding insult to injury right?

You could really see him pucker up and twist around bracing for the smooth, wet tarmac/rough gravel interface. Looked like he hit a street curb when he went from track to the gravel run off. Hurt my ass to watch him smack into that everytime they replayed it. Ouch. It was a wild tumble through the gravel for sure.

At least Valle's wedgie removal lightened things up. I had to replay that on the TIVO a couple of times to make sure I was really seeing what I was really seeing. Someone in the edit dept. must have been laughing their ass off over that one... that guaranteed it being left in the broadcast! [laugh]

That looked hugely painful, I swear he broke his arm when it hit the edge of the track and whipped it behind him.

He's young and flexible. I would have shattered like a wine glass on concrete.

It must be Hell to smack a wall in a swarm of bees like that.

No.. No.. No.. Everybody knows the Bees cant see you if you "Spiderman" on the wall.

It's pretty sad when you can't rely on others in this group to be as big of a smart ass as me, so I'll just do it myself..........

"too short for me"

that's what she said

You're a natural.  Most of us have to work hard at it but you've got a gift Tommie.

OK, since this is just a say anything thread I thought I'd go with this, just personal, nothing really interesting: Tonight, I put the big electric heating pad up for good. Hopefully. It's been plugged in next to where I sit in the den where we watch TV since the first week of June 2007 when I came home from Baylor. Not that I wouldn't want to use it, it's just too damn hot. Last year outside heat wasn't my biggest problem. :P And this weekend last year was my first "official" get away with me behind the wheel of the Surburban! I headed to Dallas/AMS for the Laguna Seca race watch party, hung out with the westies and McCain (fresh off knee surgery) and won a Ducati vintage jacket in a raffle! [thumbsup] How freaking cool was that day?? Oh, by the way, it was a month and a half before my neurosurgeon released me to drive! Hell, what the heck did he know? And don't forget that our favorite Susan (of Peter and Susan) was in Baylor with all of her awful ills at that same time. Thank goodness she is better and doing well. And for that matter, Peter is apparently OK as a result of recent bad fortune too. Two great folks who luckily have avoided bad times even though the "bastard of bad times" has seriuosly knocked on their door. Thankfully, no one answered. Hopefully, all is well in their household. [thumbsup] As for my worthless soul, I am so glad to be here with my friends and able to ride as I wish. My life has actually never been better. Thanks to ya'll. [thumbsup] Life is good.

That's it fastwin, this is NOT the Bull Shit thread, & I've had MORE thanenough of this "awshucks I'm worthless BS" that we keep getting from you.
No more.
You're awesome, & this forum & the world in general would be much worse off without you.
Everyone here appreciates you, and your many contributions.
