glad you are OK.
Ouch. Sorry to hear that. What an idiot that guy was.
I'll give you some advice that might make you feel better. I've been scraped off of the highway a few times in a few different vehicles over the course of my life. Heck, I'll need a pick-me-up sometimes as well. Some of the accidents I caused a couple out of my own stupidity, and had more of them happen due to others stupidity. The public roads are full of idiots. Many times we can make the situation worse on outselves by not paying attention or riding too fast or aggressively. I'm not saying that you were doing any of the above. It sounds like the dude was an idiot and then ran off like a coward. Sometimes you just need to take a break and regroup yourself. Re-center your spirit and get back into harmony with things. Trust me, you'll feel better.
Accidents happen. It's not some warning sign from above. It's a combination a factors. Many years ago I lost control of my Z06 Vette and was run over by an 18 wheeler who couldn't stop or avoid me. The impact was horrific. I woke up an hour later after they cut me out of the car. I was laying in the middle of the Interstate with an entire fire department looking at me as they were strapping me into a back board. The cause? I slid on black ice. It was 15 degrees outside and I was driving a friggin Corvette to work---another smart moment in my life. My point is that stuff happens. But from that stuff happening you can come out a better person. You'll be more prepared for disaster let's say.
Just take a break, stuff happens, have a good Thanksgiving, and it'll be okay.
theres is no way im sellin it..its the fast color tooSucks man, glad your OK.
Hows the chapstick? Think you can get it fixed, or is it a total loss? Let me know if your planning on parting it out, the chapstick I mean...
im in a lil better shape then i was after that sunday in eureka springs..Sorry to hear my brother. Hope the leg is alright, the bike can be fixed. Poor Barney.
i had a great time and wanting to make it to the next M&G as wellGlad your ok. Glad you use chapstic and not carmex. Those things hurt when you fall on them. Maybe you could do an endorsement for them. (This is why I only ride with chapstick) you know that kind of thing. Hope to see you at Eureka.
umm you know something i dont?BTW were you on your way back from fixing a certain car ?
matter of fact, they are the same Icon kevlar lined jeans i wore when i went down in eureka...they real do their job, but im afraid their might be karma thereOMG!!!! So glad you are OK!!! Sorry about Dino, I loved that bike!!! Were you in a populated area maybe cameras from Businesses maybe caught something on the accident? Did you file a police report? Save those jeans, you could make big bucks off of designer distressed jeans. But lets just make one of them. OK!!!! Hope you can get Dino up and running!!!
rash on right side onlyWow...sorry to hear this but glad you are okay. How bad is Dino hurt ?
if you only knew me...if i got my health, im great with lifeGlad you are posting and with humor, it helps, I know.
Was that chapstick stock or aftermarket?
J/K
Hope you are feeling better.
Cagers just don't care at all anymore.

i try not to take my fortune for granted1st I am glad you are ok! 2nd that Frick'n sucks! 3rd.... give it a day or 2 and check the bike over and form a plan to get it fixed if it isnt too much damge! 4th Be thankful it wasnt any worse!!!!
im flying out on the 29th, i really need to get the ball rolling on this one monday morning, estimate , call insurance, have them come and look at it , and more non sense i had to deal with before...they are loving me nowoh brother, i am so sorry to hear this!!! how bad off are you and how much damage to Dino? how much time before you ship out? are you going to have time to get everything together and fixed before then?
for real, i cant believe i left the reciept in walgreen tooYou're in one piece - thats good. But I think the insurance company is going to "total" that chapstick. Don't let those bastards give you one cent less than the full replacement value.
thanks, it is minor damage but the paint is gonna be a little highDarn Boaz What is important is that you are OK. At least this time it sounds as if the bike is not totalled. Wish you the best to get back to normal riding again.
ill bounce right up eventually...thanks HalSorry Boaz. Hope you are OK.
along the lines of ' you should stop riding' maybe?!?
this is some bullsh!t.
I'm ok, no broken bones. Can't say the same for Dino.(<--named changed from Barney)
that didnt take long...damn, my insurance is gonna love me
just got cut off by a black jeep and I had to slam on both brakes, the fronts gripped way harder and brought the rear end around (jack knifed like a freakin 18wheeler)and went down on my leg. We span around for at least 5 seconds while my right leg pinned under the tail section.
I was too busy watching out for on coming traffic to see where the jeep went.. They never stopped.
have you guys noticed how under adrenaline you can pretty much pick up anything of the ground.
I'll update later, I'm out
so pissed, i just bought this chapstick too
