Scratchings
of a Biker
Yep, that's
me, one year ago, post chemotherapy, red wig and all...
Photo Gallery
Ghost Towns and Rally Alley up and running.....
I am pleased to announce,
I have fixed the diary page. As you may recall, I had lost
a ton of pics on there after accidentally deleting the folder
from my FTP. So, after much anguish and a bit of grumbling,
I located the original files, and arranged them, then re-uploaded.
During this, I found some pics that I had long ago forgotten
about - pics never before released, during my recovery days.
One fine time I will release them on diary page for the
world to see - now that I'm able to look at them myself.
It's a little disturbing to see myself not looking very
well.
Also - just got around
to adding a late 2007 article I had written for inMotion
Magazine - Amputee Coalition of America, called A Foot
Forward
Okay - I just realized
my "tell a friend" feature is not working. Don't
have a clue why, so bear with me. So, to refer your friend
here, copy my web address in http bar by right clicking
and then slecting 'copy' from drop-down list (for all you
computer illiterates - I know - I used to be just like you
until my friend Walter showed me the way) and paste it into
body of your e-mail to your friend. That's it.

Welcome
Summer!
I happened
onto this funny site, called
Short Bikers.
I should have found this a long time
ago - before they sawed off my leg and I no longer needed
to worry about reaching the ground. Due to the nature of
the topic, I found the site humourously entertaining...
New addition
