Title: The sign up thread - is gone!
Post by: Hank on September 17, 2011, 06:33:35 AM
Not sure what happened.  At 4pm it was here, at 8pm it was gone.   The rest of the board appears to be intact though.

I guess if it was going to vanish, it picked a good time to do it as the rally is already in process.

Jonijo got hurt yesterday. She broke her leg/ankle. Thankfully my wife had come out and was able to take her to the hospital and stay there with her.
Her husband was out riding street bike at the time.

Just keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she will probably need surgery.

Other than that we're having a great time. Even picked up some nonmembers to ride with, 3 of them.

Just so you know, I'm feeling fine. Hydrocodone works wonders. ;D
The thing that REALLY pisses me off is that I'm done riding for a while!!   :'(
I'll have to wait til we get back to Omaha to see whether they'll be putting plates and screws in my leg. Hey, Jeff's good with tools, maybe he can do it!!

A huge thanks to everyone who took care of me especially Great buffalo and his wife Ann. You people rock!   :-*

I'm kind of upset with Dave.... The least he could have done was take a picture of me pinned under the bike before he lifted it off. We'll talk about his priorities later.

One final note... I did get back on the bike and ride back to camp. No choppers for this chick!!!  ::)

Film at 11:00................................................................. Luv y'all, JoniJo

Joni, I feel your pain.  I've been a month now in my "sling thing" and still have two weeks left.  Then rehab.  I lost a good part of summer riding and now I'm just hoping to get a little riding in before the snow flies.  I'm going back up tonight to see and hear about today's carnage.  Take care and remember....rehab, rehab, rehab.  :)  LD

Ooooooh ....   

Joni, So sorry to hear about your mis-adventure!  Hope your healing is fast.

I'm with you Joni, if you're going to have a good wipe-out, it should look good on video!

All the best,

Brad

Joni,
A cast (sling LD), is  a badge of courage!!! Take it easy for awhile, and work on the story; you will get to tell it a few dozen times!

Soooo....I'm in my camper, looking at the site on my iPod. Everything's soooo small!  Hit the wrong button, then hit YES in whatever popped up - Sign Up thread go bye-bye.  :o

Sorry everybody!

@ Joni -     Heal up fast.. hope you are feeling OK!

@Yeti-   LOL at least there is an explanation.   I was afraid we had some weird software or hosting problem.    The sign up thread had pretty much outlived it's usefulness by the time it happened, right?

Had an awesome time this weekend. Thanks to Josh, Gerry, Jacin, Snooker, Dave and Dave. Thanks for getting my big pig up to the top of Bear Mountain. What a freakin ride. I lost count of how many times to the El Tigre went down. Will be cleaning mud out till spring.

Hey does anyone have my tan camo lawn chair?  I forgot it last night.  I left it right next to Jacin's camper door under the awning.  I was hoping Jacin took it home.  LD

Awesome weekend guys, I'll post some pics.  Thanks to everyone, especially Yeti and Josh for organizing, Jerry/Dave for food, and Brad Lackey who showed up instead of Malcom Smith this year (sorta)!   The Hills are awesome riding, especially the ATV trails south of Deerfield Lake.  The Hat Hill climb was a challenge, and I've some video of crazy Dan's Tiger being pushed up the wet trail to Bear Mountain lookout tower.  That was a classic!  Would be great to camp over closer to Deerfield IMHO, if an appropriate place can be found.  Going to work sucked after this weekend - that is a good sign of a good time riding (plus being sore for awhile yet)...

Heal up JoniJo....      Put out a missing person report on Plumber Mike, kinda worried he has lost his way home and is out there laying off of a curve in a ditch somewhere (maybe in his driveway?)...     Next time Mike!   peace out, -matt       

p.s. Endurocross in Denver, Oct. 1.

i agree that we should look at something like the Deerfield campground or resort, there are a huge amount of trails near that area. wer spent a lot of time burning up the asphalt from Hill City to Deerfield.

It was a great weekend. were is everybody photos? i have a share site up....see above.

Joni. let us knowe how you are!!

thanks to Yeti and Gerry for all the food!

Awsome pictures. I'm ready to jump in the truck with my KLX and head back out. Broken leg or not!!!!!!!!!   ;D

Steve and Kent (hope I got that right).... It was great meeting you guys! Hope to ride with you again. :cheers

Had surgery this morning and all went well! Now I have six screws and a plate in my right leg!

I have to say it again.....Did you know that that I rode back to PG with a broken leg? Am I cool (or stupid) or what??? I did have a great wingman!    ::)

I've decided to lower my asking price for my KLX..... $10,627.00. Think about it.              Miss 'ya, Joni

Joni,
Glad the surgery went well. I rode many, many years ago with a cast on my leg and skied several times with a cast on my arm. Where there's a will there's way. ;D
I do like your attitude. Oh....I looked on Kelly Blue Book and I think your 32 bucks too high on your asking price, then I realized there's a 330 kit in it. I think your right on.

To the KTM boys, Great riding with you guys too. Always room for more.

Hey Ya'll, sorry I wasn't able to make it, sounds like it was another good one.  Hoping to make the Spring one with my son.  Really sorry to hear about your leg Joni, but I know you're tough as nails and will be back in action before too long.  I don't think I could keep up with you even if you had two broken legs! :D
