Dapps Bro :Bro Fist Bump: Welcome to the bone plate club.



Appear at your event and present this case: "I'm a business owner in town. My commuting choice, limited to bicycle, has cost me more than you can measure".


BTW
You are constant source of disappointment.

NEVER NEVER NEVER trust drivers! they're too busy texting, fighting, applying make up, and generally spacing out to be trusted even for a split second. hope you heal soon. DRIVE as punishment?

I will go out on the limb of ridicule if it means saving one pilot.

You may have contracted a bad luck spell from the "Hallowed rituals of the teufel-hunden"(5th Marine Regiment) by simply flying over the Stand 4 Fatality Site: the Rock Cairn, area above point "B", or area "F" and mistakenly referring to those locations as "Stupids and Retards" which are all located near the base of the Towers/locals mountain.

Mere acknowledgement of the memorial should clear you of your bad luck streak.

Pro advice to those with metal... Don't wallop the arm and have and go back to the bone doc. Yea it's cool I have full strength and range of motion after a break that would have cost me my life 100 years ago. However it still is fragile and causes problems.

This was taken today after an accident a week or so ago. Life is no fun with pain and a job:

Looking for trends, who of those have never landed at the base of the dam or haven't had a landing out clinic there?
