Back from the dead..

I'm back... I got into a bad car accident when I was visiting some friends in Chicago...had a nasty break in my arm, separated shoulder, and a Steve Young like concussion....

I am doing great though, in case any of you guys missed me (I know you didn't)

Red Light Cameras don't prevent accidents......let's just say that. Guy in front of us slammed on his brakes doing 40 ish when he was almost on the stop bar because the light turned yellow...my buddy rear ended him, and I broke his windshield with my head, and the seat belt broke my arm and separated my shoulder.

Spent some time healing in the Chi and now I am back in AZ....

Wow sorry about the accident. I had a similar one in 2007 except the dude in front of me slammed his brakes on at a Green light in the pouring down rain! Two herniated discs. I also recently seperated my shoulder that stuff hurts!

Heal up and hope to see you on the bike soon!
