My son has had 3 grade 3 concussions, the last one he was knocked out and pronounced dead by an Emt. Was out 5 minutes or so, I got on top of him as his Mom was freaking out doing laps in her mind after being told "He's gone". His eyes rolled back in his head after all that time, deals with short term memory loss today but has never quit racing, he's 26 and the bad one happened when he was 12

Here is a start to the conversation. Demons can be fought by psychedelics. For anyone interested, check out Michael Pollan. He's a credible mainstream author who has been on Joe Rogan's podcast and wrote a book called "How to Change Your Mind". He started hearing stories of addiction, depression, anxiety, etc. being helped by psychedelic therapy and felt the need to learn more and share, which is where the book came from. I know this will be downvoted by a bunch of individuals with preconceived notions but I don't care. I care if it helps one person find some forward...

In these sorts of acts it's time to question society not the individual. RIP Brother.

5/8/2017 7:03am F150, you are right.....I remember running into an issue like this when my dad started premixing my 1971 Kawasaki g5 100. For anyone still racing that g5 100...well, ok, probably not to many....

5/5/2017 6:32am Thats the same technique I use on Lions and Tigers. Not so much with elephants. My hands are not large enough to reach around their legs.

3/30/2017 7:42am My father was on blood thinners when he fell and hit his head. It was not even a hard hit, but hard enough. Over the next three days his head doubled in size. We were relieved when he did not survive. Im sure your choice to not ride is difficult, but you are smart for doing so. To our original...

3/4/2017 7:24am I always wondered if the "cost" had anything to do with taxes, and maybe its an advantage to value my race bikes at 1 million each, and not 50k? As far as moto gp goes, even the used, moto 2 bikes are 150k. I imaging a real moto gp bike to be 10x that, if not more. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2015/january/moto2-bikes-for-sale/ I never...

1/31/2017 6:14pm Moto, would your situation have been different if ALL you had to worry about was getting better? I imagine its a huge advantage to not have to worry about insurance payments, jobs, school, or money while trying to recover from an injury.

1/28/2017 8:18am I know 'm coming from the"easier said than done" and "hind site" department. With that being said, one thing little league, high school and a good day and a half of college football taught me to not land arm first. Curl up, and let your entire side take the blow. This is easily learned if your an average player. Your...
rcannon Added a reply to 100% tafiff on Euro Dirt Bikes is insane
1/20/2017 8:27am Not that the tariff is awesome, but when they did something similar, in the 80's, the percentage was based on the manufacturers cost, not the retail price. Its likely the $10,000 KTM would only end up being 17,000, or so, and you just saved 3000.00 dollars.

1/12/2017 7:42am Thats interesting that you said that. If you were to park Mc's cr250 next to a 2017 KTM 250. Comparing those two bikes, theres less technology change than their would be between something like a 2009 yzf 450 and a 2010 yzf 450. I believe this is why this is not a fair fight. Even though the ktm has been...

12/24/2016 11:50am My friends dad had the same car, same color. He took 7 or 8 of us to football practice. He drove like a maniac. We were smashed in so close to each other, no belts or restraints were required. I wonder how well that would go over, today? Por guy would be in prison.

12/23/2016 9:22am How does a persons temperature even go to 105.9? When a persons temperature sounds more like a radio stations call numbers, thats horrible. I'm glad hes ok. S, hes sitting at home, recovering, and this happens out of nowhere? How long did you have between him showing symptoms, and KNOWING you needed help? My granddaughter broker her arm on Monday...

12/13/2016 10:03am Dont do something stupid...Owning this bike is stupid. If it were offered to me, free of charge, Id refuse it unless I could part it out. If it were given to me under a condition where I had to keep it running, it would be cost prohibitive to do so if I ride it. Right now, you are not in...

12/13/2016 5:51am Probably you cannot unless it kicked back and the flywheel moved......Wait, on this specific bike, I dont believe it was uncommon to lose a timing chain, or timing chain tensioner. That could do it, too. But it does prove a point about this specific bike. This 04 rmz/kxf bike forced owners to learn how a motorcycle worked. Often times things...

11/28/2016 1:47pm I always agree to the price, no matter how low. Keep them going for 45 minutes or so just to let them get excited over owning this new motorcycle. After that long, they are already picking out graphics. Then, just as we discuss the where and when to meet, I will text back that I did not know you already...

10/30/2016 6:55am When I buy from the redwing store, I need the 11EE+ width.....always on sale in that size, go figure...? I have to wear New Balance shoes like the senior citizens as they offer the extra width sizing. My feet are mostly like squares. That rumor of large feet, large hands, large...is not true.

9/17/2016 7:55am You know what else was different is how many motorcycles average people owned. I grew up in a normal, middle class neighborhood. People that would not even consider themselves motorcyclists, owned Honda trail 50, 70's and 90's.. Out of the 15 homes on the street, only two did not own a motorized two wheel something. Then this movie comes out...

7/1/2016 12:14pm I've tried the BMW system. Its pretty good. Better than the stock bike for just riding around. "Active" ? Dont confuse active with predictive. The bmw system is set to respond for the average rider weighing the average weight. Spring rate is not electronic. Its also a Sachs brand. The ohlins is probably better? Its a 2000.00 or so option...
