John, glad to hear that your ok!

At that speed, I'll bet that's some road rash!
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

You can't make a race horse out of a pig. But if you work hard enough at it you can make a mighty fast pig. - Bob Akin

By sheer weight of numbers Noonan has had one booked for a while. He has seen close friends crash with horrible consequences.

When I had a low,low speeder that hospitalized me for a week Jon sent me a message that was very welcome and meant a great deal that he was glad to hear I was OK.

Jon, I'm very glad to hear you're OK and somehow not surprised that whatever speed you were pulling you have come up smiling/or at least grimacing......

Look after him Michelle , he is a treasure to the landspeed game.

Best Wishes

Very glad to hear John is just a "little" banged up, at the speed that John races it could have been a lot worse..........."washout of the front-end".........with the Dustbin fairing maybe a cross-wind?
Take care John...

John,
Sure glad to hear that you are upright! Man you are going to have scab sandwiches for months!~!!  Man you are going to be sore in the morning!!

Looking at the bike he was running and knowing how fast he went on a near stock Hayabusa maybe his GPS isn't that far off!!!

John, good to hear your were going fast, hated to hear you crashed.  If you broke your wrist you may be limited to scratching that big pair with one hand for a while.  :roll:
Kent and Bob, thanks for helping out.
After the pain killers kick in, let us know how you are doing....

John, I am so sorry to hear this shocking news. Unlike the others, I won't say a broken wrist and road rash is being "OK". I would not call that OK. That is definitely not the news we wanted to hear from Mojave. I know you will heal fast and jump right on another bike.
Best wishes,
