On monday night i had some friends that decided to go for a ride that night. They decided to go to patterson and they started off from the tarpon side and they were goofing off and they lanched and hit the corners at around 110 mph. He came into that corner way to fast for night time driving. But anyway the tires broke lose b/c he hit his breaks in the corner and he and the bike went into the air and when he landed on the pole and and broke 5 of his ribs and punchered his lug he is at the hospital where he will be for atleast 2 more days. My thoughts go out to him and i am sorry and hey i will help you fix the bike. LOL keep smiling and no guys he is not going to quit riding. A matter a fact he was asking for a bike magazine in the hospital.

 

man i hope things come out ok.... God speed on the recovery

 

What a trooper

Hope he is alright

 

God Speed to him. Anybody know who he is by chance?

 

wow, that sucks. That's the chance you have to be willing to take tho, especially if you're gonna be foolin around like that. Good luck to him and best wishes.

 

the rider is nick girodano

 

Hey guys i'm the one that went down.... I started at Tarpon Rd and like he said launched into the turn with a buddy of mine. anyone that knows that first turn on Patterson knows that the turn starts off easy and then out of no where breaks into like a 90 degree to the left it sucks. anyway i locked up and thats about all I can remember. I blacked out and then to unconscious. The guys behind me said that I did a sort of front flip over the handlebars and so on into the dirt. I slid through that barb wire fence and took down the pole with my ribs in the back. Ended up in the brush on the right side there. Ouch. They said my bike went 10 - 20 feet in the air flipping end over end and yeah that probably looked pretty damn cool. anyway I broke 5 ribs in the back and punctured and deflated my right lung. They said I should be in for a 2 -3 month recovery. I most definetly will ride again when I can. As for the bike if anyone knows where I can get some parts.... I need.....

rt. side fairing
upper
headlight
sub frame connectors
gear shift lever
tail section
undertail w/ the 2 round led lights
frnt. brake resevoir
front rim
fuel tank
it's a 2000 gsxr 750

appreciate any help and thanx for the thoughts for me.

 

Glad to see you survived, at that speeds man, I thought the bike would be much worse!!!! Anyhow, best of luck with teh recovery and getting the bike back together.
