Title: went down 7/12
Post by: Pokins on July 26, 2011, 09:31:28 PM

Well, it finally happened to me.

I always ride my bike to work everyday - damn the heat.
On 7/12 on my way home after work - it happened.

Some dumb Cranberries little 16 year old punk kid pulled out in front of me.  Making a left turn right in front of me.

Totoally fu--ed up my right knee -  spent almost two weeks in the hospital.

Now  just have to wait to heal so I get back out riding again.

Still haven't seen my bike yet.

 Hope you have a speedy recovery and the idiot cagers around HOuston seem to be getting worse.

Glad you're ok.  The kid was probably texting.  Hopefully, they'll check his phone records.

Pokins, that SUCKS...sorry to hear that you have been laid up...just glad you didn't get hurt worse.  Look at the bright side: now that you have have joint/bone damage you will be able to predict future rainy weather - probably more accurately then the weathermen, LOL
