HIWATT Halloween Party

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party
I've recently had one friend and one "almost friend" killed on Harleys. Once you get better ditch that bike! Hope all turns out well and I might drive on up one weekend before the Christmas holidays.
Keith and I couldn't make the party anyway. Not sure if the All-Stars will ever get together again, but it was fun a few months ago. Hey, you can form some "new" all-stars....
Again, get better fast and sell that bike and don't look back at it. Both of the guys I mentioned above had wrecked before and thought they'd be tough and get back on those bikes. Now they're dead. Sure...they were "cool" and "tough."
All the best for a speedy recovery! Keep in touch and let me know if you need anything.

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party
I am 99% sure that I will sell the bike once it is repaired.
It was a pretty scary crash, and it will free up funds for more HIWATTs!
I bet the "All Stars" will be rockin' the valley next summer!

Hmmmm, SOMEBODY wasn't paying attention! "Ditching the bike" was exactly what Dr.Hiwatt DID .Mike B. wrote:Once you get better ditch that bike!
I lost my two-wheel nerve after a couple of friends & acquaintances had "incidents". A short time later, we moved to the Twin Cities. Traffic is WAY too crazy up here for motorcycles! Still have the '70 Triumph Bonneville though (been in storage for 20+ years). Have a hard time parting with that British-made stuff .

Sounds scary to me: one painkiller for the patient, one for the doctor, one for the patient, one for the doctor...now which tooth was it??? (cue high speed drill noise)Dr.HIWATT wrote: I hope to be at work again on Monday. I will probably be in a wheelchair.........but I can still work!
Seriously, glad to hear you're still functional, if a bit slowed down. And yes, more Hiwatts would be much better .. and safer!

Clayton,
Good to hear that you are alive...... Nothing is as cool as a harley, but damn, shit that would be a fender bender in a car is fatal on a bike. Almost all the guys in my band have gottne Harleys in the last few months, and the peer pressure is on. I am sticking to my GTO......
Get better soon!

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party
I am healing fast. Got some good news today with the Orthopedic surgeon. The fracture in the tibia is in a location away from the knee joint and will heel ok without intervention.
I go back in two weeks to plan the ACL replacement surgery.
I have been doing OK at work. I am freakin' tired by the end of the day and my right (the better of the two) leg is sore. But I can see improvement daily. Most of the "road rash" is healed and the scabs have mostly flaked away. Still have lots of bruises and some swelling.
by the next convention I will be as agile as a jungle cat!

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party
Yup, Dr. HIWATT is a great host, even on crutches. Thanks again, Doc!
That '71 sure sounded good after a little TLC. You'll have give everyone the run-down on the new ultra-anal re-cap technique.

You mean the "no diodes were hurt during the recapping of this Hiwatt" technique? I wanna learn about that.mikhailwatt wrote: You'll have give everyone the run-down on the new ultra-anal re-cap technique.
Does it involve any Cirque du Soliel moves ?

Re: HIWATT Halloween Party
Yes, it does involve some contortionistic moves. No Diodes were harmed during the re-cap
Afterwords, Mike and I realized that we should have taken pictures of the procedure. Maybe I can make a short instructional piece.
