Crash 1: Drunk does "L" turn into me on freeway to keep from missing exit: All I remember thinking was "WHA......?" 'till I was sliding on my chest.....I was watching my bike endo across two lanes of traffic thinking "$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!"

Crash 2: Leaning into a sharp righthander I'd ridden a hundred times before and one instant I'm sitting pretty and the next I'm sliding under the bumper of a car.... no time to think anything.

Crash 3: Grabbed a handful of front brake in a misty rain on a decreasing radius righthander as the car in front of me spins: as my hand closes down on the brakelever I'm thinking "wrong wrong wrong wrong dummy!!!" thud crash tinkle tinkle sky ground sky ground sky ground and then I tried to stand up while still sliding..... too pumped full of adrenaline to feel the busted pelvis till a few minutes later........I picked that bike up and rode it the few blocks home, and then realized I couldn't get off of it....and boy did it hurt.....

Numerous track crashes.....self talk... "dummy dummy dummy".
