[simpson]

Here is a handlebar view of the last portion of my run on "The Snake" or 421 in East Tennessee.

Thought you guys might want to see this.

I rode that for the first time about 3 weeks ago, it is a good road to ride.
Hope you and your bike are ok?

 

[simpson]

I am fine, thanks...

I ruined my helmet, broke off a bar-end mirror, and scratched the left side primary cover (clutch). Anyone have an extra cover laying around?

Rode the bike home. Took Ibuprofen and iced down the hurt spots.

Draggin' Jeans and a decent Mesh Jacket saved my hide.

ouch!!!....take care of yourself and make sure you don't have any hidden injuries. i had that kind of crash about 15 yrs ago also. too much curve and not enough experience for me was my downfall.

 

[simpson]

I was a a bit fatigued...and ran out of talent.

Ouch! I was headed up to Hickory in the morning and was gonna see if you wanted to meet up but I'm guessing you're still a bit out of commission.

 

[sweatmachine]

ouch! I'm sorry about your off!

I can't believe there isn't a "Mother fucker" or 2 in there...

Glad you are alright. Parts can always be replaced.

 

[simpson]

Thanks all.

I am great. Still riding. In fact I will be riding in to work tomorrow.

Give me a buzz.

I thought the same thing and wondered if I had missed it. Played it back again, nope not a word.

Simpson should change his name to Luke, Cool Hand Luke. Cool as a cucumber he was on that get off.

...never been much for last words.
