Another crash.
FUKIN ****
2nd crash in 3 years. 2nd crash in 23 years. And I was having such a great ride, too. And a great day. 22 miles into a 50 mile to-town-for-lunch and back, and was about 100 yards away from said lunch, at subways, in minden nevada, having left the hiway, entered a parking lot, took a drink (my first of the day, for whatever reason) with my left hand and failed to notice a goddam ****ing black rubber speedbump. And then it was like - like oh **** this is gonna hurt I think I was going a decent clip - meaning between 15 n 20 - i think That was Jun 29. I got my first pin. In my thumb. Only $15K. My headache is gone but the stitches are kinda ug- well its too early to say https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl582jkkon...toast.jpg?dl=0 |

They're shinier. The pins do poke out and feel pokey. The hardest part of a hand fracture was trying to get Dragon to work.

I hope you had health insurance which should cover much of that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fl582jkkon...toast.jpg?dl=0 At least the helmet did its job. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

No, seriously, I hope you and your thumb are continuing to do better and that your health insurance will battle to eradicate road-camo colored speed bumps. |

But since this is after all .tech let us belabor the point. Whatever it turns out to be. Elongated head tube - wha? Why can't I just stick a fork in there, tighten it down, and call it good? |
