hello all... i just signed up a couple days ago and want to introduce myself. i'll start off by explaining my situation... i'm a C6 quadraplegic and in a wheelchair. i broke my neck while racing in a Hare Scramble 17 years ago('92). i was 17 years old at the time. i got thrown over the handle bars and landed on top of my head and shattered the 6th vertebrae in my neck which left me paralyzed from the chest down. **** happens but i just play the cards i've been dealt and roll with them. lol...

needless to say i have a passion for dirtbikes and i'm particularly interested in z50s. i own quite a few z50s even though i can't ride them but i let my buddies keep 'em runnin'. i have a couple KO z50s, as well as other hardtail "project" bikes. i have a pretty nice all original '78 z50, a very clean '99 z50, a nice '00 xr50 and i recently bought my 6 year old nephew a brand new '07 crf50 and hope to get him into some racing. we'll see...

other interests of mine are collecting vintage paintball guns, deer hunting, rifle shooting and racing R/C buggies.

that's me in a nutshell. just wanted to introduce myself and i'll be hanging around.

thanks

Chad
