I feel you. Its good to be well and be blessed!!


Sorry about your bike though. In terms of picking a new one you cant go wrong. I was gonna post about the cager that cut me off yesterday in the rain...(down goes Frazier). I fell into oncoming traffic but was thankfully not hit. My bike is still rideable. Just a little dinged. I'll need a new shifter probably. I was slowing to turn into a gas station when it happened. If I hadn't put bags on yesterday the whole left side would be... a wrap.

Sucks about the bike, but at least your up right.

Build it better, or buy a new one.

Stay safe, and listen to that inner voice.

Sorry to hear about the bike, but thankfully you are still in one piece.

Looking forward to hearing you are on the road again on your new or rebuilt scooter.

Listening to the inner voice is good advice for us all.

I've been buzzed by several bees, a couple up in the helmet, over the years. It's not easy to maintain composure until you can get to the side of the road knowing youre getting/gonna get stung.

Glad youre ok.

lesson to be learned - wear goggles, not glasses. I'm glad to hear you're safe, though. It could have been much worse.
