RE: RIDER DOWN / DougJ
Glad to hear that you are ok. I have been a a cop in Texas for over28 yearsand we all are not butts as most people think. I ride a 06 Bob and have had close calls. Hope the bike gets fixed ok. I live in a college town and the phone drivers are very bad here. Have to be extra careful on the streets and roads. I hope the driver had insurance to help fix what got damaged on your bike.
I too have had thoughts of getting up in a person face after a close call but realize that they are obliviuos to their surroundings. I have a motto that I try to use everyday " I am going to make it home tonight". Wish you the best and safe riding.

Glad to hear you are not injured. The bike can always be repaired or replaced. Your reaction to the young man who hit you was one you should be proud of. Maybe he will be more careful in the future because of it.

RE: RIDER DOWN / DougJ
Really happy to hear you are not seriously injured, we all need to remind ourselves sometimes that we take our lives into our own hands every time we throw our leg over the saddle. I usually say a little prayer in my head when I'm leaving the driveway. Here in LA nobody looks before they make a move on the road. I wish you a fast recovery, and hope your ride didnt get banged up too bad...
