Combination of working on cars (repetitive heavy lifting/motion, etc) a few car accidents. what put the nail in the coffin was an allergic reaction to some steroids my doctor put me on which caused me to pass out and fall, landed right on my left hip and totally screwed everything up.

We run at barber, vir, jennings, road atlanta when possible. I think thats pretty much it. We did a small stint as privateer ama team, didnt make it past laguna seca... Too much money. I wasn't a rider at the time, merely crew.

I've looked at the more upright bikes, but if it came down to it I'd still keep my R1 and build an old school bobber.
