I sold all of my dirt bikes a while back and bought this 1997 Honda Valkyrie. It has a 1520cc 6 cylinder engine and Honda only made it for 6 years, 1997 to 2003. It’ll leave Harleys in it’s dust. I just removed the factory exhaust and replaced it with aftermarket exhaust. The baffles have been removed and it sounds GREAT! Loud.

You get to see my handsome self in the video. I reluctantly decided to edit out my huge wang from it in order to comply with YouTube’s policies, sorry ladies. Enjoy!!

Over a year ago I completely tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL is a ligament in the knee. I was stupid. Not regular stupid, I was Corky from Life Goes On stupid. Here is what happened.

I had just bought my first home. It was a brand new home out in the sticks on an acre with a brand new toilet that had never been desecrated. I was happy. I took a brief break from moving and decided to celebrate with a few Rolling Rock.

After about six beers, for some reason I thought I would continue the celebration by performing a few stunts on my dirt bike. A total redneck move, I know. Just as you have by now guessed, this is where things went horribly wrong.

Now, I consider myself a decent rider. I don’t race, never have, and can’t hit jumps like those guys do, but I can ride around pretty good and hit tiny jumps like a pro. I have a 2001 Honda CR250 (pic at right), which is fast as hell. Previous to this incident I took a weekend trip and practiced my wheelie pulling all day. I was pretty good at it.

It is true what they say about alcohol reducing your reaction time. I pulled the throttle back and due to my impairment, didn’t roll it back off soon enough. I flipped the bike, fell off and totally jacked up my knee. It hurt. It hurt a lot. If you’ve ever had somebody hit you with a sledge hammer then you understand. I went to the hospital where they took x-rays and told me I had torn my ACL.

Tomorrow I go in for surgery to repair it. The doc says it’ll be stronger than before. They are going to take a cadaver tendon and replace my torn ligament with it by screwing it into both bones. Sounds gross. I will have dead person parts in me.

I wonder if having someone’s body parts changes you. You know, like if I get a Mexican then I’ll start craving refried beans or start saying “jes” instead of “yes” or something. If so, I hope it’s a male at least. If I start posting crap about how I enjoyed the sunset or my monthly cycle then you know I got stuck with a female part.

So… I will be out for a bit.

Caveman Conclusion: Stupid hurts.
