Wheww!! Glad you made it out just bruised Doug!! My little sis was heading home from Quantico (she lives in Manassas) and wrote me an email about an accident involving a motorcycle that she saw, said it made her think about me. I was thankful that she said it looked like the "old-timer" was ok, just pissed! Now I'm TRUELY thankful because it was you!! And talk about good people, look at the guys on the forum!! Where else can almost total strangers offer what they have to you and Snappy? GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

That makes a great story in your life, so glad it will have a good ending. Take care of that leg and Snappy so you can tell it while you two are sitting around talking bout the "good ole days" And baby that ride a day or two.

Da-yuum DD, good to hear you didn't get seriously hurt. Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending some good karma waves your way. Are you gonna be alright until yer leg heals back up? There's a bunch of us here who live in VA (including myself) ... if you need anything ... just yell real loud, I wouldn't mind bopping up there lending a hand.
Get better quick!!!

Glad to hear you are doing ok Doug. Sounds like the kid and dad, as well as Andrew were stand-up folks. Good to see that in today's world.

Wow, sure glad you got your leg out of the way of his bumper! No accident is a good one but this one sounds better than most. You must be part Irish to have such luck. Take care of yourself and Snappy, too.

Good to hear yourself and Snappy walked away relatively unscathed!
I'm guessing Snappy was wearing his full riding rubbers.
Cheers... Ben.

I told him he needs a plain black one, but he likes the bright orange. He is resting.

Glad to hear you are ok. At least you get the chance to do all those jobs on the bike that you have been promising yourself you were going to do and could never find the time. Hope the leg heals quickly.
