Well we didn't make it to the Big Steak Place in Summervillle. Damn.........I wanted a steak.

It was sprinkling. We were cruising to a Red Light on 2920 and Rhodes Rd.. We were in bike formation. Sheri is on the right side and me in the left. IAll I saw was Sheri went down. She was sliding into my lane. I applied my brakes to keep from running over her and must have applied the front brakes to hard. They locked. I started fish tailing and the Black Dragon went to the right and I went to the left................. $:-\$ $:-\$

I have 2 bummed bruised knees and a bruised hip..... $:-\$ $:-\$ $:-\$ I'll let Sheri tell you what hurts on her body.

Want to Thank Dar, Neo and Brian for being there to help us.

Joined a new club today, the riders down club. Ouch!

Pride hurt most

then shoulder, neck and hip. First thing I said when I got up is I will never ride with out a helmet, I hit my head on the pavement hard 3 times. Thank God for the helmet. We weren't going that fast, it could happen to anyone. If you ride with out gear I'd reconsider the helmet, my jacket did even have a snag on it, my helmet has several marks and shield is messed up.

2 margaritas later............. the sun is out if it weren't for my shoulder I'd be on my way to Somerville.

Thanks guys, thanks God.

Ride Safe

Sorry to hear this gals. Hope there wasn't too much damage to the bikes or the bodies. I will ditto the helmet comment. Don't risk re-using a helmet that has contacted the ground. Once the shell is compromised, so is your safety.

Thanks for the well wishes. I am going to be more sore tomorrow from what I feel now..

I think my LeatherLykes saved my bike. It split when it hit the road. Saddlebag Stuff everywhere.......

I think I will always second think riding on an almost wet road.....Too much grime, oil and radiator fluid on the road. Rain makes it slick as soap....

What a bummer!!! So very sorry for the mishap.

Very very glad ya'll OK. Let us know tomorrow how you feel. Hope you are off tomorrow for a few hours of recovery and many hours of soaking in a hot bath.

We all know who to thank for the relative lack of injury. Let's all bow our head now.

Hang in there!!! Here's something to make the bo-bo all better.
