Oral... thanks for the update on Smithee. Keep us posted and let him know he's in our prayers if you talk to him again soon.

Oh my, that really sounds like some painful injuries. Take good care while you heal, we'll miss you. While you are in recovery, rather than type, you might think about designing a kevlar (sp) vest for riders to wear. Don't know how heavy that material is, but maybe it could be lightened enough to work and prevent injuries of the nature you received. Could make you rich, if there is no such thing on the market for riders. <gg> I know our police officers wear bullet proof vests made of that material all year round when on duty and I believe that includes motorcycle patrols also which is also body protection for them if involved in accidents. They claim those have saved many of their officer's lives.

<<He did however suffer 5 broken ribs and a broken clavicle and is very, very sore as you can imagine.>> I've had broken ribs and don't have to imagine.
