Default Personal Intro
Hello everyone! First post here and just saying hello. I live in the North Georgia mountains and have been riding for around 12 years. I currently own and ride a 2003 Aprilia Falco for the street and a 2000 KDX200 for the dirt.
I lowsided on "The Dragon" in August of 2005, shattering just about everthing below my left knee. I now carry a permanent 15" titanium rod inside my tibia. Didn't stop me from riding though......one day short of six months after the crash I got back on my Falco and have been riding ever since.

I hope to be at least a semi-active member around here, so let me get started reading.........

Welcome Jeff.
Titanium huh...that's one 'mod' I can do without.
Good to hear it didn't get the better of you.
Enjoy the site and be safe out there.
