I don't post on here as much as I used to, and right now I'm not riding as much as I have over last ten years, partially due to other life projects, but also partially because I had my own wakeup call.
Some of you may know this, others may not but I had weird sort of crash last year at a local track on an open practice day. This was my most severe crash that resulted in a permanently separated right shoulder AC Joint, as well as a dislocated left hand and fractured wrist, and banged up ribs. I ended up with a plate and screws in the left wrist. That was one year ago this week (April 28, 2024).
This morning, I read a link on facebook of another rider who just suffered a much worse injury, and this guy became a hero on Pitracer a bunch of years ago. His name was Jerry Robin, and back in 2013, he raced a 1985 CR250 at Lorretta's and done exceptionally well against a field of modern bikes.
Now it looks like his racing days may be over for good.
