Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to First ride since my crash in Arkansas on July 7. I rode 120 miles on the Duke yesterday, pretty painful.
What crash you say?
I met two friends Thursday, July 6, in Eureka Springs. Friday we took off, rode all morning, had lunch and then about 2:30 I missed a curve on Hwy 74 near Jasper. I'll admit it, no real reason other than inattention. We weren't shredding, more like 70-75%. I just went over the white line on the shoulder into the gravel. Tried to ride it out, didn't work out too well. Next thing I remember I was on my hands and knees in the weeds, moaning and hurting.
Always wear a helmet!
Especially when you decide to hit a sign.
Burst fracture T7, hairline crack T5, seven fractured ribs, and bruised lungs. I was transported to Harrison, then a trauma center in Springfield MO. Released on Tuesday, July 11. Huge thanks to Rod for coming after me. And to Mark(gravel guy) for all his help and support. It's good to know good people!
Oh yeah, yesterday's ride. Wasn't bad starting. we stopped several times, that helped. When I got home I took an anti-inflammatory (prescribed) and felt better. Best of all, no unusual pain this morning. Still going to be a process, but I will be back.
