Hi Pete, I'm new to this forum (joined based on my interest of purchasing a SW) but familiar with accidents and unfortunately death. I just wanted to say may God be with you and give you the strength to get through these events. I wish you all the best, I see you have quite a few of friends on this site and I'm sure you have many, many more so stay upbeat and follow doctors instructions and lean on friends for conversation and comfort as recovery time can bring us down sometimes. Be strong my friend.

GREAT! The Beast survives his crash, survives his surgery, then gets a beating by his wife because he keeps reading Gaige's posts over & over instead of taking that "little blue pill". I'm more worried that after surgery he'll have nothing to do, but post on TY so much, he gets Metacarpal Syndrome & can't use the throttle next year...

Pete...It sure looks like you've been put to the test in more ways than one these past few months and have come out of your experiences a better man. It's great news to hear that your surgery was successful and that you're on the mend with both your body and sled. There's been a lot of TY brothers who've been pulling for you through all of your tribulations and we all wish you the best while you heal up and get ready for next season with your almost new again SideWinder.
Keep the faith brother.

Very glad it all went well. Now you know there is still time! I bet you take it for a little spin.

Oh ya,i would like to for sure,maybe in April,if we still have any base left,i may be very tempted. My buddy shaune,now has 30 miles he has put on it,and he said its getting better with every mile.But we did gear it quite high,and I may have to have him remove on tungsten in each arm,and install 4 washers in stead,as the shift rpm is quite low at 8800-8900 allen wants it to 9150 to 9400.Very glad it all went well. Now you know there is still time! I bet you take it for a little spin.
