Dino took a tumble........ Saturday on a ride in the Cascades he slipped out on a corner. Layed his ZX-10 down and skidded off the road. The bike and him just missed larger trees knocking down smaller ones before getting stoped. NO BROKEN BONES...... but his legs took it tough, knees and ankles. Will know more when the swelling goes down. Damn lucky to still be with us for sure....... Keep your fingers crossed friends!!!

Not good news at all.

DAMN IT, DINO! Your supposed to leave that fuckin' "dirt farming" at the track!
Glad that he "kinda" okay.

Alway's sad to hear when someone goes down whether you know the person or not. I have had a few spills but that was many years ago. Here's another wishing you a speedy, full recovery!

FYI: I talked to Dino today.
Other than being sore as hell he is ok.
Well as okay as you can be when you try to be a human chain saw!
He's hoping to be back riding in a couple of weeks!
And if he doesnt heal that fast: see previous post. . .

Dino... I was very relieved to hear that you were relatively OK. You had us all worried..
I was on that ride this weekend but I was in the slow group (as usual). Dino was the last person I expected to crash. Heal well my friend... (see ya soon)
BTW, after poking Ozzy in the ass at about 85 mph at SBNW I think you deserve to be his SBNW bitch... lol just kidding buddy

Thanks for the well wishes guys.
All I can say is ....OUCH. Ones body shouldn't be used as a tree topper/ trimmer.
Thank God for protective gear and allowing me to go through the trees where I did. I'm actually EXTREMELY lucky to be in one piece.
X-rays showed nothing broken, but I now have a black and purple foot, one knee that looks like I implanted a football beside it and the other one looking kinda' like a popeye joint.
Just waiting for some swelling to go down before we can get a MRI.
