accidently swallowed a big piece of ice that lodged in my throat (no homo). I gulped and it slipped back up.

Clearing a hilly trail with ditch blades and machetes. I was about 15' - 20' ahead of another guy when I bent to tie my shoe, I hear this   "wooosh" "ping" noise. The other guy had lost control, slipped, and thrown the machete and that was the noise, if I hadn't been tying my shoe, it would've caught me somewhere between the shoulder and mid head.

Once in the city, during a wind storm, I was about a building length ahead, when a bunch of construction material came off a high scaffold. That could've been nasty too.

YEA, WES! I'M ALSO surprised that you once had a serious drug addiction.

I've never been addicted to anything that was harmful but I once tried my best to be an alcoholic because everyone in my Irish background (family and friends) have been very successful alcoholics so I decided to give it a try but failed miserably because after two drinks my eyes shut.

I  can stretch those limits to a couple more if there is a lot of activity surrounding me, but even then my eyes shut tight.

But no matter how many shots I may have, just give me 15 minutes with my eyes shut tight and wake me up and I'm the DESIGNATED DRIVER with no complaints and could drive ya safely home no matter how far off the beaten path.

Have you told your story on this board, WES?

stunt, I figured you'd have some pretty good tales of your own. Was I mistaken?

Hi Stunt.....told it many times,but left out parts because if I told you,I`d have to kill ya` !!

My main addiction was to alcohol but if any drugs materialized I considered it a bonus.

Not to say I didn`t do my share..........done just about every thing out there at one time or another.

It is great to be clean and sober all these years................... ...sometimes I wonder what I was thinking back then,but it was mostly due to my upbringing,no self-esteem, and chronic depression.

I've raced motorcycles competitively for well over 20 years. Motocrossed since I was a kid, street rode since I was 15 years old.
