Hey everyone,
I am the notorious KTM pilot.  Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes.  I'm fine, unbelieveabley so.  Lots of BIG bruises and I'm still pretty sore.  No work this week either.  
Here's a recount of what happened...
I was in midrange coming into a corner from a whoop section starting to back off the throttle and the bike leaned out and pinned wide open in second gear.  I twised the throttle back hit the back brake and had about 3 seconds until impact.  No time to bail.  :bang:  BANG!  OUCH!  My buddy says I flew like helecopter blades sideways and landed about 30-35 feet away.  
I've been riding bikes for 28 years from 2 strokes to 4 stokes and have never had anything like that happen before.  Can't wait to tear it down and find out what happened.  
As for now the "boss" isn't too happy but she is very supportive and won't tell me I can't ride but doesn't make any bones about telling me I'm too old for this *&%!
I have some pics of some pretty bruises but don't know how to post pics.

Mike,
Sorry about Eugene....for the 7 tenths of a mile I got to ride it it was great.   :(
