That is cool as sh^t. I wonder how much that recovery cost the guy ???? Not just anybody has a darn helicopter to come and get you.

The cost he told us was a lil' more then $3000.00.... I think i would have tried alot of other stuff before i did this..

Yea, that would have been a fish bed and insurance would have taken care of that one.

I wish I had one but I do have access to one. My boss has a Bell 206 Jet Ranger. It's the coolest way to travel. he's been teaching me to fly for about a year now.

kick ass. I ain't never flown in ANYTHING in my entire life. I've never even seen the inside of an airplane, except on tv. I don't like heights.

That's kinda funny...I hate heights also, but flying is no big deal to me. It's different when you're in an enclosed space like a plane. A chopper might be a different story though since I've never been in one.
I forgot all about Eds access to one...I think he flew over Peoria even before I met him in real life when we were first chatting on another forum.
Sure could've used his help getting Aaron unstuck from the icy creek!!

That's 1 cool Ranger. LOL I got alot of time in ultralights (600 hours) and about 20 in a cessna but none in a chopper. Unless you count the V-22 simulator (about 20). That bitch is hard to fly in helicopter mode.

Everyone has told me that being in a plane is nothing like being high up in the air, heighth wise, if that makes any damn sense at all. If I had the opportunity to fly, I would. BUT......... I ain't going by myself the first time, someone is going with me and holding my hand,lol.

It's very true...trust me. I consider you to be a very good friend, but I sure as hell aint gonna hold your hand though!!!
Just be sure to partake in plenty of hydro beforehand and you'll be fine. ;)

i flew for the first time when we when we went to florida. i don't mind hights but you can't even really tell your high up unless you look out the window. also my neigbour is scared of hightes but he has and flys his own plane.

D@MN!!! I'm not ever gonna get away from that!!!!!:biggrin1:
It was all fun to me anyway though..... Belt don't look too bad though.. I thought I had slipped it when the water entered it but It doesn't even look like it but then again it doesn't take much... got one to replace it if needed....

Nope you'll never live that venture down buddy!!!!
It was quite the good time for all, and the best thing is that your bike wasn't hurt at all.
But yeah, might want to invest in a new belt just incase.
