What areas were on that video that have been shutdown?

Many, many years ago. Back in 1991, living in SanDiego, I was at a practice track with no one around. A pickup truck with illegals in it drove out onto the track, going the wrong way. I came flying over a big tabletop with a long downhill landing ramp and hit him head on. Front brake lever impaled my gut and tore up my intestines. Long story short, the illegals bailed, and left me there. Somehow, I found it in myself to get to a hospital to get patched up. 18yrs later, I'm having complications. Gotta shitbag attached to my leg while infections clear, then I get to see what the rest of my life will be about. My results today were somewhat good though. Gotta wait another week or so to check again.

Fun stuff.

:ride: safe!

I'm amazed you survived that. Riding in 1971 was the same in Northern CA. Not much of it left now.
