that's a sad story, i wish them the best of luck....

i perused the website, but they don't sell shit for buells, which most vendors don't, but i won't hold that against them....

hope they can pull through!

fuckin hurts my chest cavity to hear shit like that.


on a regular basis bikers come into the ICU in the summer. I always make it a point to go in and lend what I can.

Most vehicle trauma people can walk away from, but when cages hit a bike, they're almost guarentee'd a spot in a bed with a ventilator next to it.

that sucks... takes major testicular fortitude to see that shit as often as I'm thinking you do... and still ride... it's one thing to see it in pictures... but to actually see the person in flesh and blood... is defiantly different.

awesome. I guarantee it'll go much further coming from you than anyone else... if that actually is enough to get them to wear gear... who knows... but at least you try...
