Well, it's been just a little over six months since my accident & I thought I should post an update. My ribs are much, much better. I still get dull pains occasionally but not a real problem at all. My shoulders both have catches in them and my movements are somewhat restricted in several positions and the ring finger and little finger on my right hand are still asleep. All in all I am doing pretty good and able to do most everything I want to do. Over New Years weekend I was able to sand and repaint my new Timeout Camper to match my Dodge Magnum, and really had no problems doing all of that. In fact from start to finish of the project it only took me 4 days to complete. I am planning on going to Hotglue's GOTF and am considering both Maggie Valley and Inzane. I will have to see about Maggie Valley and Inzane later on as I will be coming from Washington State if I decide to come. I am going to wait until later on to see how gas prices go and how things shake out later this summer. I have been reading all of the posts but have been guilty of just sitting on the sidelines and not participating in the message boards. I'll try to post more often in the future. For now I am going to keep 4 wheels under me. I sure miss riding as it was one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done until that last wreck. Clint     |

Great job on the trailer Clint  I'd bet the river bottom farm the Hemi wagon will pull it better than a Valkyrie and stop better too  Good to see you posting again . I know when we talked in Kentucky a few months ago you was claimin' you did'nt know if you'd ride again  You do whats right for you myself I could'nt see my world without a motorcycle in it. I plan on being at Hotglues as well unless a tornado hit's our powerlines and they make me work I'll see you there  |

Clint, word of caution. The TimeOut trailer, get under it and check all the frame under it for gussett's at the sections at weld points.
My TimeOut gave me a good ride in the Detroit area in a down pour when the frame broke loose. That has been a known problem with the older units, not sure if TimeOut puts in gusset's now or not.
Just worth a check however.

Ok, Clint, I'll bite..... What are the exhaust pipes in the back of the trailer for? Looks or functional? Great to see you posting. I'll never forget the day we aired up your tires down at HotGlues Sunday morning before you left out. We'll see you at the GOTF for sure! Hay  Jimmyt |

Maybe he mounted his old Valkyrie motor in the trailer, to help push. LOL
