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
color does not matter as it will be painted all when done (need a good cheap paint place too)
appreciate any help and thanx for the thoughts for me.
