Riding the yamaha..

[Jakobi]

Yeah I know of another friend who had the same thing happen with his foot. Ended up having to have it reopened and cleaned and spent about 6 months in total on antiobotics and pain killers. Not very nice at all.

I'm watching it closely and won't hesitate to get medical asssistance if it looks like its going flare up!

[REVERUP]

Yow, glad your OK, that was a pretty lethal spot to receive it.
Impale type injury's certainly can happen while riding, while crashing too. Ive seen a few over the years.

[Jakobi]

Thanks all.

You know Glenn,, I still get a bit uneasy when the blowdown tree tops face the trail due to that day I had you up here..

I hope we have all learned a valuable lesson here---Dont ride Yamaha"s.

[Jakobi]

Hahaha! Will have the gasser back together for the next ride. Don't think I'll be mixing it up in 450 roost zone for a while again though.

I have some rash/redness below the wound either from where the neck has to crease where it didn't before, or from a reaction with the adhesive patch they used. The wound itself is healing very nicely with no sign of infection and minimal scarring from what I can tell. Will probably remove the stitches tonight.

Sounds good. If there was a problem you would know it.

Yeah Steve, any place there is a lot of dead wood still gives me the creeps. There is a trail here that has a short section I call the "punji stick forest", as its all dead pines with spikes and lots of stuff on the ground. I still back off through that section.

A branch up the nostril isn't much fun either. I'm waiting to find how much those new reeds improve Jakobi's idle.

[Jakobi]

I'm waiting until I'm sober enough to install them Still have to slap the power valve back together yet too. The stitches have been removed and everything healed nicely. Quite a bit of scar tissue internally which will no doubt soften up as it matures.

Merry Christmas all!
