Excellent idea. Please do this! I have many times - wondered about the life story of the riders here and the history of their personal bikes. I usually ask but to have the info in hand - that would be something I would love to have.

I crashed big time in last section, not that I was having a good day anyway. I got stuck twice, Got pole vaulted off the bike when I hit a 3ft. tree limb and it fliped up into the swingarm and tire. Got lost then got hung up in a hog wire fence. THEN, I was going good in last section when I hit a hidden stump in the sand and pine straw. I endoed and wadded up my Husky. I finally came to rest with the bike laying across my legs and me looking at skid plate. When I got out from under the bike I had red, black and white plastic strown for 20 feet and my clutch lever bracket was broken. I had to ride the remainer of the section in first and second gear being careful not to stall the bike. I am having to replace all the plastic on my bike except the headlight and front fender. It is either gouged, cracked, shattered or broken. I was lucky it didnt get the radiator or pipe. Me, I'm a bit stove up and bruised. Just not my day for sure.

Freddie,
Good to hear your are riding again. Also glad to hear of the pending surgery to repair the septal defect. You have clearly documented the risks though. May I make a suggestion until the surgery, ride cautiously and just have a little fun, not too much, but just enough to keep your sanity so that there are not unforseen accidents that may delay or cancel the surgery. You want to make it to the surgery date, so that you can go WFO afterwords. I say this only being concerned about the risks and the potential for future good outcomes. Good luck and keep us posted.
Lloyd

Yes, I rode. Got 12th 50A+ out of 44 entries in class. I tore a abductor groin muscle in the 2nd section. Burned like hell. Fell over a few times because of it. It is just now turning most of my thigh black and blue. Yes, I will be ready for the Sandlapper !
Be there Friday evening or afternoon.

Freddie, don't give up. One of the pro ISDE riders had a similar thing happen a couple years ago, in January. Had the heart surgery a few weeks later and still road the ISDE in Mexico for the US Team, and finished well. I was told by my cardiologist not to ride ever again, but he misdiagnosed me. I take over the counter omeprozole (prilosec)and it caused a condition called hypomagnesemia. This causes cardia arythmias and PVCs. After tons of tests, he said I had a electrical problem with my heart and it would just stop one day and not to put any stress on it, "No riding". FORGET THAT. I did my own research and discovered several research articles on cardiac electrical problems and found research the PPIs (like Prilosec) cause PVCs. You would think the cardiologist would know this. I supplemented my diet with extra magnesium and low-and-behold, problem solve. I councel all my patients now on the possible side affects of PPIs. I have found 5 people with cardiac conditions related to PPIs over the past year that their PCP or cardiologist misdiagnosed. Follow the doctors recommendations, but make sure you get accurate information and make an educated decision on any health care issue.
