Glad things worked out better than they could have; you are still here! Honestl, after a no fault accident a couple years ago due to a roadway hazard, if the frame is messed up pray that they total it. The turn around time for an HD frame is terrible and, especially on a CVO, all the wiring change over can go very wrong. It’s too bad you don’t have someone to go after on this one, because the dimisnished value of a CVO with a frame replacement would be bad.

Good to hear your still alive. I hope you find out who the person was that didn’t surcure the load and let them pay for your medical and bike bills. I hope it all works out for you
Had a similar thing happen to me a few years ago except it was a 2x4 got kick up by the truck in front of me and I almost took the 2x4 in the head.

First, I'm happy to hear you made it through without any major injuries. You were damn lucky! Second, I flew over my handlebars and landed on my head earlier this year after hitting a car. I, too, survived without any significant injuries. One thing I remember distinctly was as I was in the air and during the "landing", I had my eyes closed the whole time. Do you remember if your eyes were open as you flew that 50 feet? I'm just curious if that's a normal reaction or not.

Glad your OK.... I had an rough meeting with a mudflap that was kicked up in front of me doing 70....Locked up my front tire and I went sliding down 99 for about 120ish feet...
I don't remember leaving the bike or flying though the air, but I do recall hitting the pavement and thinking this was it....

Thank God you wore the helmet that day! Also good to read your assessment of what could’ve been done better/differently, because there are usually things to be seen in hindsight. That also applies to those of us reading your post; my takeaway was to use a helmet more frequently. I’m prone to not wearing it when temps are above 80, and really should know better.
its been a couple of days now and anything that’s gonna hurt should be, so what’s the latest? How’re you holding up? At 64 I’m not sure I could even get up for the morning coffee!

I’m glad you are ok. I live about 40 miles east of Pecos and work out of Pecos. To say the least, it’s a zoo around here. Horrible traffic, oilfield trucks everywhere, and a lot of these guys just don’t give a ****. Earlier this week, some ******* intentionally ran a bike off of the road because he didn’t want the bike to pass him. It’s almost to the point to where I don’t want to ride because of all the ******** around here.
