Posting again but NOT a RE-post....:foul:......Is everyone that said they were coming out to the rez still on board? I've heard back from a couple that aren't due to medical reasons, etc. I've also extended invites to make it an overnighter for anyone who wants to bring their "home away from home"...or whatever ya got. I have stuff out there to cook on (grills grills and more grills...not girls, grills). :thinking:

Where is the nearest hotel? I doubt I would drag my trailer. It's too for for a day trip.

There's got to be something in Victorville which is where you'd get off the freeway (I-15 @ Bear Valley) anyways...It's a 45-60 min drive from there to the REZ. Hope you can make it. :thumb:

Damn Rolls, that sounds bad. I had a buddy of mine go over the bars 20 years ago out there and we put him in a truck and drove him to the fire station in Lucerne Valley because he was so messed up. They took him to the hospital and then proceeded to airlift him to another place because he had broken his back. We should have never moved him as it could have done more damage but we thought we did the right thing at the time. He has steel rods in his back now but he still goes riding. In fact, he was with the gang and me at Spangler looking for the Easter Bunny last weekend. I hope you're not as messed up and recover quickly. :ride:

Rolls:
It was so unspectacular that I can't call it a crash. I really don't know what to call it. :noidea:
I was out at JV with a couple guys from work and some of their friends. We got to the sand dunes out by Melville DL and decided to ride to the far side of the dunes and wait for the last two guys to catch up. With the sun brightly shining down on the fresh wind blown sand, I couldn't see worth a damn. The ground was bright white and kinda blurry looking, but it looked flat. I saw my guys grouped up ahead of me, so I rode straight for them. I was in third gear at only about 1/3 throttle. Just sitting down and cruisung. I didn't see the 10ft drop until my front tire went over the edge. The bike landed perfectly level and straight and should've been ridden away like it was no big deal. The only problem was that I was sitting down and my spine absorbed all the impact. The shock of pain was tremendous, and I just knew that I would be paralyzed. I was afraid to even try to move, so the bike just rolled for a little ways and fell over. The guys thought I was playing around and let me lay there awhile before coming to see if I was OK :lol: There was no way I could ride. I couldn't even crawl, so one of the guys went and found somebody in a 4x4 truck that could get to me out in the sand. They loaded my bike in the bed of the truck and I rode all curled up on the floor in the back seat as they drove me back to my truck. They really saved my ass. I thanked them at the time, but I wish I would run into them again some day so I could thank them some more.
The total damages are 3 bulging discs in the lower back and a fractured vertebra in the mid back. Also some minor nerve damage in my lower left leg ( where the bike fell on me).They say I was lucky because the fractured vertebra has a fragment broken off that could have damaged the spinal cord. I'm still waiting to see a neuro-surgeon to know if I will need surgery.
Thanks to everybody for the kind thoughts, and I will ride with you all some day. :ride:

So does this mean you are going to ride on Sunday as well or is this day for everyone to get the hell out of Rez, or is that Dodge? :thinking:

I'd love to bring the Rust Bucket with my trailer:devil:, but with the finances being what they are, I doubt it. At this point I'll be happy to make it in my pick up. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I am planning to go for the day on Saturday only. Rack can ride with me if necessary, but there will be no rim jobs allowed on the way.:shocked:

But you promised me you would take care of me :pout:

And I am still 3+ hours away from my house if I were to ride with you!

I may come out with my Husband and he may kick back listen to sports, read the paper, drink beer etc... OR I will more likely bring my friend Maryann (WR250) and I think we will stay the night IF the weather is good. That was our plan anyways but not on your property. But now it's ON! ALL NIGHT PARTY AT THE REZ! :banana: :smirk: Or not. We can always stay somewhere near by. We're going to pop up a tent or just sleep in the back of my truck. I dont want to drive home after a long ride and beers. Besides, I want to get my gas monies worth and it may be my last ride in the Dez till fall.:thumb:

Thanks for all the planning and offering Rez:ride:
