There's a light at the end of "my" tunnel, lol... I bought a 2016 Road King Saturday and it's being delivered this Thursday. I don't know when I'll be able to ride but it'll be tucked away in it's new home (my back garage). I've been loading up the credit card (I can still do that) with all kinds of accessories and new mufflers. It's time to get back on that iron horse.

Tuesday it's back to the hospital's trauma center for an "open and inspect". Fingers and toes are crossed.

Glad you are OK. When I first started riding I wore polarized sunglasses. Here in Wisconsin there aren't many tunnels, but it gets dark in the woods. That's why I wear Transitions lenses. They don't get that dark, and they do lighten up.

I know that tunnel well--you are lucky all around. In addition to how well the rolling around treated you--you are darn fortunate that traffic from behind didn't run over you.
At another time, it would have.

Glad you are OK.

Ridden through that tunnel many times. I have noted that due to the bump at the transition there is always fluid down on the road!
