    Heard through the grapevine that Redeye AZ went down while pre running a course. Can anyone confirm or deny the rumor.

    Word is he has broken ankle & some rib damage. Milt T can you chime in with any info here. Thanks :ear

    To all ya'll inmates that wished me a speedy recovery:
    thanks...........appreciate it.
    non riding friends don't understand.
    to all ya'll that asked if there is anything you can do.
    there is.
    spread the word that the bike and ALL accessories are
    FOR SALE....
    .my motorbike days are over, been ridin' em since the early 60's.
    it was a FUN run, all good things must come to an end, to bad it happened this way.
    BIKE IS 2010, KTM, WHITE 990, 20K miles and after cosmetic repairs are done and complete inventory established, a price will be set.
    stay tuned to this forum for additional info.
    anybody interested ahead of time, PM me and we can chat.......

    sorry to hear about the down, sounds gnarly. i'd be interested in the 990 when you get some pics & price set.

    when i broke my leg (after breaking the ankle a year earlier) it was time to quit skating, but a month after surgery i was back in the bowl just to prove that i could still do it. haven't skated since.

    heal up man, maybe you will change your mind.
