I had one. I crashed into my cousin so hard that it bent the forks so bad that the front wheel was pushed into the engine. I took a bumper jack and straightened them enough to clear the motor and kept on riding it till it died.

LOL .....that there's funny......I don't care who ya are ! 

Scott already knows but for Gary and Larry, I've had to put off BBT untill next year.  Had to have quadruple coronary bypass surgery on the 11th of this month and motorcycle riding and even driving my truck will have to wait for a couple of months. Doing fine and will expect some good stories to be shared along with a nice 14 yr old scotch (I'll buy) one evening some time soon.

Dang Dave, I had no idea. Take care of yourself buddy and I'll lift a glass of fine scotch for you. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

Get better Dave, it's a long hard road and you have no choice but to travel that road.
Good luck!
Next year, I too will have a fine Scotch in your honor!

Brother take care of yourself

Just remember:


If you want to be happy for a day, drink.
If you want to be happy for a year, marry.
If you want to be happy for a lifetime, ride a motorcycle.

Thank y'all for the encouragement!  The 'adult me' knows that I am truly fortunate but , the 'kid' in me will likely be on the inside pouting for a while missing all the fun. Ride safe everyone and get back home again.

I may go back up in Sept.  You should be rehabilitated by then.
