I'm not going to name drop docs, but there are a select few in DC I'd trust. I did my shoulder in - 13 screws and a plate. Also went to NY to hospital for special surgery - they have bone trauma specialists. There will be docs who just do arms etc. You can get comparable treatment in DC but...

****sold*** 13 screws and another 9 months of rehab make it unlikely I'll be using my Nesba credits anytime soon. Save money (15%) and help me pay those pesky medical bills. First private msg gets it if multiple people respond. -JRF

Thanks for helping. I thought maybe the shoulder was only dislocated until Winchester x-rayed it. I've been in nesba to long to be upset with anyone. Knowing what happened etc helps the head.

The bad ones are the ones the prevent you from riding. Appreciate the info. It is good to get some idea of what happened. Really came out of nowhere on an otherwise great day. Ducati does need to go though. With my age and the number of screws track riding may never be in the cards. I am...

6+ pieces - crushed or broken depends on your definition.

Thanks to those who helped load my gear and bike. It is still at the track and should come home this weekend. I'm curious if anyone knows what happened to the bike that dumped the oil on the straight. I came up behind, saw bike in trap on sidestand (?), rider gesturing, no flag. So I came...

4 years of Nesba events and several SEDs and that was hands down the best Nesba event. Moved the group to a new level. Nick et al were incredible - hard not want to save for a trip out west. Really made the event. CRs did a great job and appeared to step it up as well. I was really...

My constructive criticism - You are leaving time out there. You need to swing wide on the 1-2 exit. By staying to the inside you prolong that corner and lower the mid-corner speed. If you stand the bike up early and run wide you can crank the gas on the exit. You do it the second lap to...

I have an 07 1098 (red) that is set up in track trim. Stock suspension. It has been over three times (once in oem form tipping off the stand / in race trim low side turn 1 at VIR / pit lane incident in icy weather at end of season). I need to put in a new clutch - sheared a bolt off the oem...

1098 will be there. The prayers worked. Oil leak was the result of a tad to much oil, over reving and oil being thrown up into the air cleaner. Simple fix - clean air cleaner and let a little oil out. Did a leak down test while the bike was in pieces and she checked out - front and rear...

Based on that description of the incident all I can say is you learn from your mistakes. You should have slowed done a " parade" lap come in and found clear track. The day I got my bump was full of traffic. B group complained all day about the clusters. I would come in each session and would...

Don't think I haven't thought about it - put the new radiator and tank on and then put the street clothes back on - fix the leak and then sell it with the stock suspension. The few grand in suspension work I save I can buy a new R6. Or liposuction. Here it is after I wiped the dripping oil off...

My observations from that day - Having been in the pits when the accident happened, I was amazed how QUICK NESBA people were heading out to help. I was on the phone at the time and I have to say I was impressed of the speed of the response which I chronicled over the phone. It was an amazing...

One more time....

self-inflicted bump...

I've done CSS lvl 1-4, Conerspeed, cornerspin and americ an supercamp. I'd do conerspeed if you want to go racing next year. NESBA instruction is good, but you do get some great feedback at the schools and the "practice" race at the end of the day is a nice way to get comfortable with the...

Got a slot on 9-12 so I'm good. If soemone has a 9-13 slot let me know, but I'm probably good with one day. __________________ Buying at full price - Wasn't suppose to be in town. AND I'll make an air fence donation and help tear the air fence down if I get a Sunday slot. Email me at...

Yes ...my starvation diet starts today - need to be able to zip up the leathers. John #968 I Ducati 1098 (white/red/road rash)

It was that extra 10 lbs I put on. I'm on a diet for my Summit Main date. Cheaper than new springs. I think anyone can get to "big" for any stock suspension. Coming out of the chicane the track falls away out to the curbing and it made it hard to get the power down. I agree that lots of...

The 12th was my first trip to NJMP. I loved the facilities but really didn't care for the circuit at least not on my bike as presently set up - or not set up. I felt NJMP was overly technical perhaps to make up for its size. I think the course requires a good front end. I found the "crash...
