    Hi: Aaron was real nice to see you and talk to you this weekend, the girls thought that was cool, but couldn’t figure it out. The two left Monday morning for Sioux Falls and stayed there and then they left for home today.

    So happy for you on your progress, when we talked to you it was improving, we were able to understand you alot better.

    Keep up the good work.

    Love Dave & Sharon Jensen

  8. Sue McKinney Jan 20th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    Hey Aaron. Seeing you last evening was such a delight. Your wicked sense of humour is still very apparent. Each time I see you the improvement is incredible. Won’t be long before you disappear out of Rehab – especially if you keep running on the treadmill!!!

    Keep going kid.

    All our Love Sue & Rob and the rest of the family

    WOW!!! You are back. Great to see you are up to writing. Simply awesome. Seeing your words brightened my morning. Thanks and look forward to hearing more soon.

  10. Dave & Sharon Jensen Jan 22nd, 2009 at 10:41 am

    Hi: Aaron, sure was good to see you had left a message on your web site, every time I go to your site you are making another milestone event. Keep up the good work. We think you are awesome.

    Thanks.

    Love Dad & Mom Jensen

    Clarkie – What a great couple of recent posts! Certainly great to see you back in action. As in everything, you are always faster than the average Joe, even in recovery. The whole Longbottom Brothers Racing clan is behind you. Although we do okay on pits in Daytona, I think your choice to go to NZ and keep us away from tinkering with your medical equipment was a wise one.

  12. Garth Callaghan Jan 22nd, 2009 at 8:45 pm

    Clarkie.
    Sooo good to see you getting around.All the best to you bud. Coming to NZ in March. If you are still in Auckland Steph and I will try to visit.

  14. Adam Lichty Jan 24th, 2009 at 3:12 pm

    You probably don’t know me but I was out at just about all the races this past year. I really enjoyed watching you race and putting down some great battles on the track. Glad to see you’re up and about and able to talk. Good luck with all your rehab, it appears to be paying off big time.

    Whatup clarkie,Toby Wong here, sending you positive vibrations since the day of your accident.Just wanted to let you know the crew and I have started every rip ride,every cocktail and every bowl with a toast to your rapid recovery.I hope our positivity can be felt a half a globe away.After working next to your smart ass all season,I knew you would’nt be lying around in bed for to long.The news of your plans to return to RMK were no surprise to me.You’re one tough kiwi bastard,and I’d expect nothing less from a British colonist.Can’t wait to hit the dirt/tarmac with you.Stay Strong homey. -Your China Plate Mate TOBY WONG-

    Hey Aaron, great to see you up and about again, especially without crutches. I was surprised that when you went to the fridge you didn’t pop a beer though. I’ll toss one back for you then. :D

    Take care and continue to get well. Speaking from my own experience, you will be up and back on the bike before you know it.

    Love dad & mom jensen

  20. Tom Beagle Feb 3rd, 2009 at 1:18 pm

    Aaron, good to see you doing so well. The interview confirmed you are done racing, but not entirely. My Clarkie bracelet is going to be installed on the top triple of my 1098 for this season.

    It may not go as fast as you are accustomed, but you may be able to give me some pointers. So, Clarkie will ride in 2009,

    TB

    Hi Aaron and family -
    So great to hear of your continued progress! That’s fantastic. We wish you continued healing and happiness.
    All the best,
    Brian

  22. Dave & Sharon Jensen Feb 9th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

    Aaron Hi. was so nice to read your latest message,wish we were with you in New Zealand, we still have snow on the ground. Today we havea warm front moving in with feezing rain, wind, tonight it will change over to snow, so the roads will be slick, icy, I suppose lots accidents, fender benders. We are getting spring fever, ready to get the pontoon in the lake.

    Congrats on your pregress. Very enteresting article, beautiful scenery where you are.

    Love Dad and Mom Jens

  23. Jessica Lynn Zalusky Feb 9th, 2009 at 10:34 pm

    Hi Aaron,
    It is so great to hear and read about your progress! You’re doing so awesome!!! You have a lot of people rooting for you!
    We’ve met before at the AMA when we were both racing I believe. I’ve been following your progress and have kept you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
    I too suffered an injury to my brain (had a stroke in November) and have shared some of the same experiences. Its crazy how something can change your life forever in one second. Like you said, its crazy how things we once took for granted, like walking up stairs, we now cherish.
    It would be awesome to connect with you sometime.
    Continue to do what you do, your impact is huge and will be felt by many. Keep plugging away at therapy! All those little and big accomplishments add up! I’m sure you’ve had frustrating days, I have them too, but you work through it and it only makes you stronger and more determined to pull through.
    Take care!
    Jessica Zalusky

  24. Adam Bennett Feb 11th, 2009 at 9:28 am

    Hey Aaron,

    Keep up the good work! It is good to see you progressing week to week. I know the speed of recovery can be frustrating, but keep your spirits up – all the fans back here in the US are still rooting for you. Thanks for the invite to NZ, but I think I will see you here (Miller?) before you see me there. The kids say hi.

    Adam

  25. Clayton Chapman Feb 12th, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    Clarkie,

    I had not checked back for a while, but great to hear you are progressing so well. Alway appreciated the info and advise you gave to me.

    Heal well

  27. Wyeth Jackson Feb 17th, 2009 at 9:06 am

    Aaron, I love reading your updates, we’re thrilled with how well you’re doing. Keep up the amazing work, you’re an inspiration! I’m looking forward to seeing you again when you finally get back to Colorado. :)

  28. Dave and sharon jensen Feb 17th, 2009 at 9:57 pm

    Hi: Aaron, good to see you are doing so well. Sounds like rehab is working out for you. That exercise ball sounds like a good tool for exercising on. I have been wondering if that would work for me, it might be a good investment, huh. You should see Sprocket, he is not fat, but just a big cat. I asked Tedi & Scott to take him home with them, but they didn’t. He runs from one room to other, he has alot of energy. Keep up the good work.

    Love Dad & Mom Jensen

  29. Matt Gimple Feb 17th, 2009 at 10:09 pm

    Get well Clarkie….EVERYONE at MPH in Hastings, NE is praying for your speedy recovery, health, and well being. God Speed to you and your family.

  30. PJ and Paige Feb 19th, 2009 at 5:31 pm

    Clarkie,
    It’s great to see your progress. You’re an inspiration and I’m happy to know you!

    Get home soon and I’ll have to come out and visit!

  31. Bob Holcomb Mar 4th, 2009 at 2:25 pm

    Hello Aaron – You are writing remarkably well! Thanks for sharing with us. It is the most reassuring thing you could do for those of us back in the states.

    Snow all over New England, but race prep is well underway. Gus’ younger brother, Zach, will be a first year expert in LRRS. We’re building him a new R6. Pat Doyle is prepping it, Jesse will map it, and Mike Martire will do the suspension. Wish you were here to help him learn how to go fast.

    Take care and keep the updates coming. -Bob Holcomb, Boston

    hi aaron,great to read how well you are doing,keep up the good progress.luv denise & paul,jordan,dana

  33. Judy and Jack Hannon NH Mar 6th, 2009 at 1:02 pm

    Hi Aaron,
    Just wanted to tell you we still think of you and hope recovery continues to be steady.Most of Jack and my conversations (ok almost all) are about racing and bikes so I enjoy the stories Jack tells me about when you gave advice or just talking stuff to him back in the seacoast days.They make me laugh.
    take care
    Judy

  34. Bill Hooper Mar 9th, 2009 at 8:13 am

    Hi: Aaron we just gothome from Flandeur SD, we went down on a tour bus Sunday and came back Monday. We had fun, came home ahead which is nice for a change. We drove in blowing snow and tonight we are expecting snow around 5 inches and blowing snow tomorrow.

    So another blast of snow and cold weather.

    Dad & Mom Jensen

  36. Brian Whipple Mar 15th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    Wow, Clarkie – sounds like you’re making great progress, which we LOVE to hear. Probably for you it feels slow and frustrating at times, but keep battling. I hope you’ll make it out to Miller during the season. We’d love to see you!

    I wish you continued healing and progress,
    Brian

  37. Dave & Sharon Jensen Mar 24th, 2009 at 9:01 am

    Hi Aaron: Just read your newest letter, you are doing such great work & progress. We are doing great, the weather has gotten warmer here so the snow is melting and the frost is coming out of the ground, now we have been getting rain, so the river is rising and overland flooding, so we have water problems, Corey is having a wait and see problem until thursday when the river in Fargo is expected to crest, that is the Red River, which flows north. All of the other rivers which flow into the Red River. Alot of sandbagging being done in the area. So we are just hoping and praying that everything comes out okay.

    Love Mom & Dave Jensen

  43. Bob Holcomb Apr 17th, 2009 at 12:53 pm

    Clarkie – GREAT POST! Thanks.

    LRRS starts next weekend. Our new R6 was mapped by Jesse a couple days ago. Zach’s first expert races will be MWSS, MWGP amd MWSB. I’ll post an update and a link to picks here. Keep on keepin on. I can’t speak for others, but once you survived the first few days, we never doubted you’d make it back. Regarding no job, you have lots of company!

    -Bob Holcomb

  44. Tom Beagle Apr 21st, 2009 at 11:25 am

    Aaron, you ( my Clarkie bracelet) and I are about to go racing on my new 1098. Your name is across my dash and hopefully with you on board, we will have a very successful season for an old man (me).

    Keep up the good work.

    Tom

  45. Papajohn Apr 22nd, 2009 at 8:40 pm

    Clarkie! The video was awesome! You haul ass on whatever you ride it appears. Thanks to you and family for sharing the last six months with everyone. It can’t be an easy thing to do. And….I am going to celebrate with a greyhound this weekend…maybe two. Glad to hear that you are planning to head home.
    Chris and Big Mike

  48. Andrew aka Mossback May 1st, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    Hi Clarkie,

    I just found out a little while ago that you were hurt. I so glad that you survived this. I wish you and yours the very best mate.

    Be well, be loved.

    Andrew

  49. Sue & Rob McKinney May 5th, 2009 at 1:21 pm

    Hey Aaron. It is wonderful you are preparing for your trip back to the States. Of course there are a lot of people back here in New Zealand that will miss you heaps – but the fact that you are ready to go home is a wonderful achievement. Maybe one day you can bring Tedi back to show her our beautiful country. Take care and remember we are all only a phone call or email away. Best love to you both. Rob & Sue

  50. Ted and Candice Stimac May 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm

    WOW!. Loved the Clarkie rides again vid. Made my day.
    I hope your flight home is that much fun. Haha.
