Karlton Kop (Honorary Member - NOT DEAD YET!)

"I WAS dead, for at least a little while - code blue.  No big deal."

"This is my third life.  The one you knew me in HS.  At age 19 I - yes, unbelieveably - I crashed on my first motorcyle on Canal Road in Washington DC and fx and L2 segment of my spine, resulting in two weeks in the hospital and 6 months in a back brace.  Second life, college, law school, decades of law practice, largely business and real estate law with no karmic progress aside from money, houses, boats, cars, exploring the world with what little free time law practice afforded, then the Ducati 1098 Superbike, actual death, becoming Lazarus-like, and now this third life.  Perhaps to help such people I can survive these most horrific of times."  

"No comments, because I already know what they are.  There is another Ducati in my future.  Not now, not that soon, but in the future.  The Ducati Street Fighter.  I have the need, the need for speed."

 

"Peace to you and to those you love."
