my first cab
DirtyDachshunds:
Yea I wouldn't want to mess you leg up any more than it is. Don't you have anyone who can help?
Your story is amazing, but I'm sure you've heard that a million times. Curious question though, will you ever ride a motorcycle again? Seems like 1/2 the people in bad bike accidents hop back on and the other 1/2 dont.
Anyway, the aimtraks will work fine on your vertically mounted monitor. One of the first steps in setting them up is calibrating them to your screen.

funnel - yeah 2 days. i do not recommend it. i did all kinds of crazy things to stay alive.. it happen in summer.. so i put mud all over my upper body to protect me from the sun.. i originally drag my self to the side of the logging road and crawled into the ditch cause i was gonna dig for water in the mud but i was a couple days to late for that.. stuff like this i did over the two days. laughs.
dirty ( for some reason i parsed your nick as dad.. laughs ) - ( i know i should of just go slow.. but i promise my sister id start on her cab in two months.. so i just want to get mine done. ) yeah i would honestly get back on a bike if i could bend my leg further than what you see in the picture.. that is it. i just can not bend it enough to ride a bike.. plus, i do not trust my leg..i would be afraid of it giving out at a stop light.. and having the weight of the bike crash onto my bad leg,, would be messy. i started riding when i was 4.. so its in my blood.
im convince.. its not if you will wreck a bike.. it just when. :)
thanks for the info on the aimtrack. will go that rout.. and ditch the ems idea. must be a reason aimtracks are recommended time and time after again on this forum.
stay healthy. :)

Don't take this the wrong way, but your insane imo. I hope you're not married or have kids. You're gonna end up killing yourself.
I hope you at least wear a helmet.

I hear that. The goal is to limit damage done to you/bike on the eventual crash/fall. When I had my first kid I gave my bike to my brother. When I got divorced I got it back again, then gave it away to a friend with new marriage & kid. Now I moved to an old Mustang which gives me much more protection for similar enjoyment! :)
But helluva leg and story there jipp, glad you made it!! :applaud:

i think you read my response wrong. no need for a helmet i cant ride anymore. my leg dose not bend enough.
no wife or kids.. mom was raped when she was 17 so i decided when i was a little boy to not have kids.. no wife because well no chick needs to put up with a guy who lives in pain.. so i just keep to my self.
its all good. never claimed to be sain tho. heh. :)
