Done, and going back in 8 weeks to donate red cells since I'm O-. I know I'm not from the region and will most likely never meet any of you, but this thread inspired me to donate for the first time in 10 years. The Blood Center of Wisconsin is only for hospitals in (obviously) WI, but...

The nurse smiled real big when she looked at my arm and saw the big juicy vein sticking out! :D

I know I'm not from your region, but I saw the threads about the crash and the subsequent wishes of the family to donate blood and it inspired me. After a little checking I realized its been 10 years since the last time. Being O- I almost feel an obligation to help out. So I went today, and...

WIN!!! Great idea!

Your menu sounds delicious. Too bad Chicago is a couple hours away from me. :(

I know there are some of us that are at the track or racing around the midwest almost every weekend. With tires, repairs, transportation, fees, etc. it gets pretty expensive. I was wondering what everyone does for a living that allows them to feed this costly addiction. I'll start. I'm a...

Just poking my head in to tell you how awesome those pics of your kid are! My son turns 9 months this week but before he was even born I bought the blue version of that little motorcycle. Can't wait until he's old enough to use it! Thanks for brightening my day!

Nevermind, I just discovered Trackipedia. Its about 1/4 mile if case anyone is interested.

This may seem like a strange question, but does anyone know how long the main straight at BHF is or at least how it compares to RA? That's it, thanks!

This is the second forum I've seen this linked to. This is an amazing example of the internet at work. Unbelievable!

Covered...very well in fact. :)

Just waiting to go into surgery. Doc says 4 or 5 weeks recovery. Wife is coming around. See you at BHF at the end of August!

That first video is great! I have an 8-month old and his laugh is the coolest sound ever!

Just popping in from Mid-West. I just had my first track day last week, and everything above is good advice. DO NOT ride to the track. I don't have a truck or trailer. I rented a cargo van from Enterprise and it worked great, especially when I crashed in the afternoon and had a broken bike to...

I didn't think there would be any of me! This rocks!

Tried to invite her to a track day to see for herself. I would love it if she came! She has no interest in coming along. I even told her about the several families and kids I saw last week. We even joked about my son (and future sons) being my personal pit crew. Thought everything was ok. Then I...

No no no, you misunderstood me. SHE thinks the track is more dangerous than the street because I've gone two street-years without a mishap, but only one track day before injuring myself. I know street riding is a gamble, but I'm not going to just stop riding altogether. I even told her that if...

Well guys, this is goodbye. My wife is convinced that now that I've crashed that track riding MUST be more dangerous than riding on the street. Because in 2 years of street riding I haven't been in an accident. There's absolutely no facts to give her that will get through her head. She's...

:argh: The Just Plain Shitty - Ok, met with the ortho this morning. I have to have surgery next Friday. Cast for 6 weeks, then a month or so of rehab (but not PT thank goodness). Provided the bike's fixed I'm shooting for BHF in Sept. and/or Oct. :rtfm: The Details - The top nub of my...

So what do they do with a stretched or ripped ligament?
