Oh! The story! I almost forgot. Here it is:

A few hundred years ago, to get cargo from one place to another, it was usually by boat, and big sailing ships were the norm. However, ship captains always had to be on the look-out for pirates (we all know about pirates! Booooo!). The pirates would come aboard, loot the ship, scuttle it if the ship is useless to them or take the ship as their own, and impress the crew into their own crews (or kill them).

One day, a merchant vessel was being chased down by a pirate ship. The pirate ship had twice as many men as the merchant ship, and they were all mean and smelly. Now, the captain of the merchant ship was a brave and courageous man. He did not want to lose his valuable cargo, crew, or his ship to the pirates, so he announced to his men that they were going to stand and fight the pirates.

The decks of the pirate ship were swarming with men, and the merchant ship's crew was becoming afraid. The captain, however, was cool and calm as he called out, "Bring me my red shirt!" just as the pirates were closing in. A great battle ensued as the ships latched onto each other, and every time the merchant ship's crew felt like all hope was lost, their captain would jump into the thick of the fray slaying men all about!

The tides turned and the merchant ship beat back the pirates and sank their vessel. The crew was very proud of their captain, but were curious as to why he had called for his red shirt. The captain explained, "So that if I were wounded, you men would not know that I were bleeding and would keep on fighting to the end!" The men thought this very wise indeed and looked at their captain with new eyes.

A few days later, the look-out spotted TEN pirate ships closing in on the merchant ship. The crew became worried, but immediately looked to their captain for guidance. The captain looked cool and composed as he gazed at the oncoming pirate ships. He then turned to his men and calmly said, "Bring me my brown pants!"

Lou, I've very sorry to hear of your misfortune and hope you heal up quickly. Alabama's gravel was the basis for both of my only two serious accidents on two wheels (I'm lucky that they were about 22 years ago now). If there's anything I can do to help, just ring me up.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the kind words peeps. AS for slowing down, yes, when I am turing from one road onto another, but I shall never slow down when I am hitting a nice set of twisities .

I really don't know how I managed to stay up on my feet the whole time, and not go over the front or anything. My brother-in-law made a good point... It is a good thing I don't weigh a buck 80, or else I would have been FLYING over them bars

Cyber, you made the offer of if there is anything you can do... Can you get your hands on a street sweeper?

I kidd. I am hoping that my leg will be healed enough to go to bike night this friday. I think my stoppie days are over, and I now understand why the windscreen is designed to pop-out easily!

Yes, look for a new paint job this winter, unless I can get a proper booth set up down here with a dehumidifier. I'll prolly just wait till winter though.

I stil need to get pics up, I know, and I think I can walk well enough that I Can prolly do that tonight before I go to work.

...with a dehumidifier

HarborFreight!

Or call any A/C company and tell them you need some used systems and what you need them for. Lots of people upgrade their A/C systems here in the south, and buying used ones that aren't particularly energy efficient is easy (and what do you care about the energy consumption -- you'll only need to have it on a few days at a time when you actually shoot the paint).
