Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your daughter Newt, it's got to be a tough business for you right now.

Considering that a test dummy's can flex as much as 2" inward in a 35 mph simulation I'd guess your daughter is really lucky she didn't puncture a lung or have an even worse injury. Bones will heal, especially young bones, be thankful they weren't zipping along at regular sport bike speeds.


A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
