[QUOTE="justalonewolf007, post: 1416849, member: 77294"] Some of you heard, some of you didn't. My dad crashed an ultralight aircraft the day before Mother's day. He's the skill and mind that keeps my bikes running. The week that we had set aside for putting the 250 back together, after pulling it apart to clean up the carnage from my clutches, was spent in the hospital. One crushed heel, the other ankle broken, two compression fractures in his vertebrae. No weight on the heel for 6 weeks (He's within a couple days of that), and no weight on the broken ankle for 3 months. He's healing really really well. :) [img]http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/260549_2081821761051_1110271946_32517766_3220722_n.jpg[/img] This picture was taken last Sunday. The "thing" his foot is in, moves it around to keep the ligaments and muscles loosened up. He sat for over three hours while we fiddled around with things. His patience and attitude are unbelievably good. We put all the bearings back in the case after some very thorough cleaning. Then noticed one of the crank bearings just wasn't turning smoothly. Yesterday, while I was at work (generally 15 hour days), my dad spent a lot of time getting hauled around the area (huge thanks to my little sister too!), picked up bearings, and had the crank checked and trued. He had a great time at the shop talking to the crank guy. Today, we're setting up a lower work bench so we can install the crank back into the cases, and start buttoning things up. [/QUOTE]
