Racing my R6 at Laguna Seca with a broken neck, well

I crashed my R6 hard at Buttonwillow Raceway in Sept. With some hard pain in the neck and arms (that's due to pinched nerves..), somehow I decided I have to race the Laguna Seca AFM round on my (just repaired) R6 in Oct... Well let's say I am glad I didn't crash in the races. I found out after the race in a CT scan that I had a broken C7 vertebrae from my Sept crash --- that explained the pain and suffer! lol
Halfway into the race my arms were just giving up, from the pinched nerves. It was quite difficult to keep myself in the race ... but I did it.
I guess when I am very old, I will watch this video and remember the days of being reckless (and stupid) lol.

Awesome video! Always NOICE to receive an d learn different info(more description, videos, tech things=better).NOICE work on the camera looks really professional. I'm really interested in year of the bike(You already answered that question), in tires compound or the tire model, lap times,angles u making, tech condition of the bike(upgrades, hp output on the wheel, etc). Keep up good work, wish u smooth riding💪😎🤙More time on the track and less time in the hospitals(Improving lap times👉😂👍

Glad you're able to finish the race safely! You need to take care of yourself more!

[@leitian7328]

do the doctors inform you some type of repair is possible or you have to live with the radiculopathy for now or until it gets worse? great riding on such a legendary track. indeed this video is a keeper. hope you find permanent relief or surgical correction. I read nerves can un-pinch in some instances over the course of 90 days. hoping that is true for both of us

[@leitian7328]

I did visit a neurosurgeon afterwards; based on measurements from the fracture,his conclusion was that it was not bad enough to justify any correction. Now I am a few weeks into Physical Therapy and the nerve-pinching seems to be 99% gone. I guess we both are very lucky!! Thank you for the message bro!
