All things considered - I still enjoyed Inzane in Colorado this year. The admins do an amazing job putting it all together and the comradery is unmatched. For those who don't know....I am the rider that went down this year on 7/22. As I was on the exit ramp, a long and deep pot hole on the exit ramp caught my front tire and then the back tire went out from under me. Bike and I took a tumble. Big D and I are home now and the bikes are being shipped home. We are hopeful that mine is repairable. As for me, 5 broken ribs, broken clavicle and punctured lung. I am repairable and will ride again! I want to extend thanks to so many of you - your support, generosity, and encouragement through this experience was really amazing!! Thanks to all - those at Inzane and not....we are getting calls daily to follow up on us...  |

Glad you're finally in the comfort of home, so you can heal. I can honestly say I've never had better company while in the back of a police car... well, not recently anyway!  |

spill....I hope you recover quickly with as little pain as possible and that your Valk can be repaired to ride another day.....I wish I could have made Inzane 9 but will most likely be at Inzane 10......make Big_D wait on you hand and foot while you recuperate..... ....  |

Punctured lung and fractures are no fun. Keep using that blow machine they probably gave you at the hospital your bike can be fixed but there is only one littleD Just what the world needs now, another cranky lawyer. Darrell you hang in there  while she recuperates and do what she tells you and you wont get hurt too bad |

I saw those pothole ruts after your accident. They were bad. On Sat evening, they were repaired. Too bad they weren't repaired before they caused your problem.
