CHOPJAW Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Hey man, sorry to hear about your accident. BUT, if you would of had the proper gear on you probbly would not of had such a bad break or break at all. I'm not trying to preach (maybe I am) but someone has to say it. If and when you ride you always have the proper gear on. Good Luck with the rehab. Quote
