    hey louis,

    yeah i got there and started workin gon the black RSV-R on my bench and everyone started getting edgy about me working on stuff the day after i got out of hospital, so i went home.

    sorry i didnt catch up with you, maybe next time.

    i was looking at my bike and its actually not that bad - considering how bad i got off, but that is always the case. needs a new frame but the swing arm isnt bad at all and everything else forward of the tank (dash, duct, forks etc is busted up but i have done/seen a lot worse

    i have everything except for the dash and frame but i could get the bike back on the track for $2000..........

    actually we are doing our first (and maybe our last) complete motor swap with the guys at Scuderia West in NorCal, i can rebuild the motor they sent us over the next few months and it gets them on the track with a good strong motor quicker.

    in case anyone is interested, after plowing the bike through the dirt and tires we checked the airbox that has the Evo kit installed and while there was a lot of dirt in the intake there was nothing past the filter....... but then maybe i just installed it correctly

    When I saw the bike I couldn't believe that you were up and around already. You took some hit ! Thank's for the help with my bike, everything looks cool.
    My family's best wishes for a speedy recovery.
