Also wishing a "Speedy recovery" to Mr. Stroud, whose skill and attitude are both among the most admirable on this board.
Well said, Ed.
Dave, sorry to hear of your accidental incident. It was good seeing another old IM at Carlisle. Hope you are able to keep it on the road. Glad you are on the mend. Although I am sure the pain will last a while. Nice to know these things don't just fly apart when impacted.

Dave,Sorry to here of your misfortune. You mentioned that your upper right teeth don't feel right. If they don't feel OK soon or if there is swelling get your maxilla ( upper jaw ) checked.
I've had patients unaware that their jaw was fractured and infection set in.
Get well soon!
Joel
I too wish Dave a "speedy" recovery and hope gets his "speedy" repaired or gets a new and better "speedy".
David, sorry to hear of your misfortune! Glad you're still among us, and Francine wasn't with you that day.
Rest up, heal up, and get another one! You should be able to buy it back for peanuts and hopefully find another one for not much money and transfer your stuff over. Maybe?
Sad news David…….reading through everyone's posts they got it covered……..what a great group of guys!
David..... Dialog sent ~ALan aka Drclock
sorry to hear this david, i hope you get better soon.
ted and jim about covered everything there is to say.
best of luck with everything.
Sad news about your car, David, but glad you're not banged up worse. Hope you heal quickly and the insurance companies make it right.
David -- this is a tragedy. I think all of us live w/ a nagging uncertainty about having to tangle w/ any other vehicle, as we are definitely unsafe at any speed. That said, I am happy to hear that you were able to walk away. The very definition of a good landing, eh? One you can walk away from. Not sure how this might have been avoided, sometimes **** just happens. I think I will be pretty cautious going around a left turning vehicle from now on, on the chance that there may be another lefty turning from the other direction. Slow down and have a look, w/ foot on the brake.
I think Alan said he could fix this. Pix do not seem to be SO bad, but I know next to nothing about fiberglass, and how you might actually have to redo all that broken plastic. And then the frame work.
Let us know how it turns out.
I'm really bummed about this. Glad to see that you are already shopping for a replacement. Maybe you can get a new roller for not much $$, and stuff in all that cool Soobie hardware you got -- assuming it is still all OK. You are nothing if not handy w/ a wrench.
Holy carp Dave.........glad to hear that you're ok.
