Cars and other kinds of motoring gibberish

I wish they would bring rally racing to The U.S instead of just Mexico.. I would be out to watch in a flash!

here for us Speedvison sucks.. most of the time it's nothing but Nascar....

but we get some rally and F1 racing.

Rally France is up next, I've never seen this one before, I've heard it's fast.

i like the tarmac stages at places like corsica. the on board footage is awesome. incredibly fast!

is it narrow as well?

sound clip I did tonight at around 9:30pm while going to get gas.

i hope so too... :sweat:

from what i've been able to gather, it was a mid-speed high side cause by sand on a canyon run.
helmet was cracked in half, he's a few broken ribs and a punctured lung. hasn't woken up since the weekend.

lol a cold air intake.

the exahust gets worked on next as well as the supension.

well, i just got back from ICU, and not to be a downer, but it's pretty bad. his entire right side rib cage was broken, lungs collapsed, and severe head trauma. he's in a coma, on a respirator... the neurosurgeon said there's very little brain activity, but that it's too early to conclude anything.

Everyone's pulling for ken to at least wake up... please pray for him to pull through if you feel inclined to do so.

:sweat: :puppydog:

Oh damn. :sweat:

Best wishes to your friend for a speedy and full recovery, Krim.

thanks, i appreciate it.

I understand your situation, krim.
Back in the year 2001, my friend Chad died from a bike accident on the Windward side of the island of Oahu. (Kaneohe area)
He and his friends were just riding, no wheelies, no speeding, just plain old fashioned riding with the boys.
Then, from what I understand, there was some debris on the road or something. He ran over it and it was big enough to stop the bike and catapult him off the bike. People said it was though as if he flew like superman. He landed head first into a concrete wall on the side of the road. His helmet, like your friend's, cracked. And this was one of the few times that Chad actually wore his helmet.
He was rushed to Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu where he was pronounced to be in an indefinate coma. With little or no chance of waking up. Doctors (I think the parents got around 3-4 different opinions) said that if he were to ever awake, he would be forever in a vegetative state. They gave his parents the option of pulling the plug or letting him live for the rest of his life on life support, even with no chance of waking up.
All of his friends went to visit him daily. I could only visit him 2 times during his last week of life. Yes, ultimately they pulled the plug in the end. The parents did what they felt was in his best interest. I know Chad, he's a strong guy and had a lot of pride. He wouldn't have wanted to live like that.
He was only a year older than I am. It is very hard, especially when it's a friend. He was only 20 when he died.

I guess that's why I dislike bikes, or would never get one for myself.

I'm sorry for such a long story, when I know that I should've just gotten to the point of my post. (Found below)
Life is unfortunately too short and unpredictable. All we can do is make the best of ours and be a good part of another's.
My prayers are with you and your friend, krim. I hope he makes a speedy and WELL (which is the main thing) recovery.

We're pulling for your friend, krim. :fingerscrossed:

While bikes get great mileage, I don't know if I'd risk it myself. :sweat:
