Those images are sobering; I'm so thankful you're still with us, brother. You can repair your ride; and you're here to do it

Yeah, at first glance...doesn't look all that bad. Forks look to be bent evenly...we're you looking for a little more "Trail"

Stupid boulders

LOL! Too right! I keep meaning to get my x-rays and CT scans from the hospital but I always forget. I assume I'll have more after the implants. Eventually I'll remember and get them in the other thread.

Mister Gorman,
You are one tough son of a gun, I admire your grit, and your attitude. Full speed ahead my friend.

Best Wishes: Mike

Thanks, call me Chris. We're all brothers here. I just use the impossible-to-pronounce cggorman as my handle because it's what I've always used. Google it and you'd probably find forum posts from 15 years ago. LOL.

Yeah, as long as the frame isn't twisted I'll probably have it back on the road next summer. Mostly depends on how long it takes me to get my arms back and how much money the insurance pays out.

Funny, before one of your hospital posts that had your actual name on it, I always read it as "cggor-man" and wondered what the hell a cggor was.

Good to see you're enthusiastic about getting back to working on the bike. A lot of people would walk away.

Got a call from the insurance today. They totaled the bike. No surprise. Repair estimate was about $10k and bike value is about $5k. I'm going to stop by the shop and go thru the estimate to be sure the bike is repairable, but I expect to be buying it back. In that case, the payout will be about $4k and I have to get a salvage title.
