Crashed!
SH*T!!!
 \\;
2 days ago my buddy came by on his Road King for a cruise around the lake and lunch. \\; I had my windshield off, and thought it would be a hassle to run home and put it on as I was at work. \\; Not 2 miles later a bee hit me in the temple, ouch, no big deal, but an inner voice I ingnored told me to get the windshield. \\; I was following him, and around an S curve a bee flew into the right side of my glasses, and started buzzing around between my eye and lens. \\; As I grabbed at my glasses with my left hand, a cage came at me around the corner about 3 feet in my lane. \\; I missed him, but ended up scraping the guard rail around 45mph, bounce out and laid it down on the left side. \\; Bike is pretty much totalled except the motor, and I'm looking at at least 4 weeks to get it back. \\; I walked away with a bruise to my leg and ego. \\; The Sheriff that came out happened to be the local motorcycle instructor, and couldn't believe I was walking. \\; Been riding since 76, and first time I've laid one down. \\; Thank God for Insurance!! \\; What did I learn? \\; Listen to your inner voice.
 \\;
Of course the cage never stopped, and I can't for the life of me tell you what kind of car it even was. \\; Ride safe Brothers!
