[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 205745, member: 1650"] I was never more than about 40 minutes without feeling my feet, and that was the second time it happened. Being across the pond probably made it a little bit scarier but the treatment I got may have minimized it. The antiinflamatories they shot me up with were not even sold in the US in 71. But I don't think it ever left my thoughts and probably kept me from hurting myself worse in the future. I got an insight into what I would have to constantly risk if I wanted to move up to the next level and what those guys who ride at said level face every time they get on a motorycle. you have to ride, practice, and race at that level if you want to just stay at that level, pushing it up further each even or each season is all that keeps one competitive. The scarier of the injuries cause some or I guess I should say almost all of us to admit we hit our limits. If any of you have seen the original "On Any Sunday" and want some help following up on the racers that were objects of that movie it is a sobering reminder of the grim side. On the plus side, if any of you went to the "On Any Sunday Reunion" I hope you found it as uplifting to hear how many of the guys who are left would do it all again. [/QUOTE]
