Thanks for all the well-wishes and helpful suggestions. Here's some pics of the new ride, a 2016 Road King. I've been modding it non-stop for the last


week or so.

 

A bit of an update...

Still on the mend. Having a bit of a hard time getting new skin to grow over my left knee cap, keep ripping it off. Torn left buttock muscle makes it a biatch to take long rides. I've been told that it'll take many, many months to fully heal. I'm running an Air Hawk bladder on the seat which helps a little bit. All, in all, I'm fully mobile and loving the ride on my new to me 16 Road King. The braking is light years better than the Softails I've owned.

 

I would much rather be reaing about your accounts with you posting them than someone posting your Obit.
Heal quickly and get back on the horse.
May the cause of the accident never be repeated.

I would like to nominate the dude that invented the flip-down shades integrated into a helmet for a Nobel Prize. Push a button, they retract into the helmet! One of the two best things for riding in the last twenty years!

 

Did you get ABS on the new bike?

 

Yes I did (16 RK) and have put 5k miles on it already. The torn muscle in the left side of my **** is still healing though and still gets a bit painful on long rides.

 

Get well soon!
