Wow, thanks for the prayers and support. I still cannot believe I walked away from that wreck! The insurance guy who came to my office for settlement on the bike said he couldn't believe I was still alive--but that bravado only made my wife cry.
I am keeping all my gear and tools. I want to ride again, but winter is approaching and my "new" car (a 2000 Grand Marquis with only 69K miles) is the smart way for me to commute right now. Yes, I bought an old Grand Marquis because, after all, I really am a grandfather!
I just got back from an MRI, and even before getting the official word from the radiologists, I'm pretty sure I'll need some knee work soon. In the meantime, I'll just keep using the cane, as it generates random acts of kindness from people: for example, ladies hold the door open for me!
I miss the bike dearly (HMF high mount carbon fiber pipes, PCIII, fender eliminator, plus other goodies). I plan to hang out on the Forum for a long time, so I'll be in touch with you all.
Ride safely. ATGATT. Give thanks to God every day you're alive!
