Subject: A Cursed Motorcycle?

Well, guys. Just as I am healing, another of us bites the dust.

Jay decided to go riding with some friends last weekend (yep, back out to Ocotillo Wells, site of my ill fated run) and borrowed my XR250 because his is not running again. Seems he hauled up a hill (hmmm, no tracks up this one, wonder why?) and when he got to the top discovered it was really a point with an 8 foot straight down drop off on the other side. Ever the bold rider (actually, couldn't stop) Jay hung on right over the top and rode the beast right into the ground below (thought it might pull out at the bottom?), smashed headlong into Mother Earth and then (no doubt worrying about my bike) acted as a human cushion for the XR.

Anyway, after Pioneer Memorial Hospital (Jay and I are now it's main financial backers) in Brawley did an MRI from head to waist, he was declared alive but not kicking. Says my bike is now sans speedometer and perhaps some other nonessential items on its front end but otherwise still runs and drives (got to see this one, I'll head over to his place Monday). Says he's pulled every muscle in his chest area, and can't raise his arms. Says he is so swollen he's lost track of his collar bone. With a little physical therapy he expects to be able to jack off in 10 days without help from Carla.

Odd isn't it? I can't walk and he can't use his arms. So between the two of us we now have one working body.

Question: Is it possible to have a cursed motorcycle? Or maybe just Jay and I trying to ride without Glen giving us shit around the campfire?

Well there is a YZ250 in pieces in my garage...belongs to Paul. He too, went
riding without me. He only lasted 25 secs. Launched off a table-top jump a
little to aggressively and over shot the landing with the front tire
pointing to the stars ( that Paul would soon see.) Paul is moving around,
but his tailbone took a pretty bad wack. His whole backside is bruised,
making for the Ugliest Butt Crack ever (remember Paul is a plumber, thus his
butt crack is on display daily) To modify Tim Allen's famous butt crack
phrase, "Get some spackle and spackle that thing shut...And then paint it"
