Default Crashed!

SH*T!!!
&nbsp\\;
2 days ago my buddy came by on his Road King for a cruise around the lake and lunch.&nbsp\\; I had my windshield off, and thought it would be a hassle to run home and put it on as I was at work.&nbsp\\; Not 2 miles later a bee hit me in the temple, ouch, no big deal, but an inner voice I ingnored told me to get the windshield.&nbsp\\; I was following him, and around an S curve a bee flew into the right side of my glasses, and started buzzing around between my eye and lens.&nbsp\\; As I grabbed at my glasses with my left hand, a cage came at me around the corner about 3 feet in my lane.&nbsp\\; I missed him, but ended up scraping the guard rail around 45mph, bounce out and laid it down on the left side.&nbsp\\; Bike is pretty much totalled except the motor, and I'm looking at at least 4 weeks to get it back.&nbsp\\; I walked away with a bruise to my leg and ego.&nbsp\\; The Sheriff that came out happened to be the local motorcycle instructor, and couldn't believe I was walking.&nbsp\\; Been riding since 76, and first time I've laid one down.&nbsp\\; Thank God for Insurance!!&nbsp\\; What did I learn?&nbsp\\; Listen to your inner voice.
&nbsp\\;
Of course the cage never stopped, and I can't for the life of me tell you what kind of car it even was.&nbsp\\; Ride safe Brothers!

Sorry about the bike bro, but glad that you are OK. Bikes can be fixed easier than your body.
