Truly a blessing from above on making it through that.

Glad you're not to bad off. Just goes to show...no matter how careful we are...we cannot control the rest of our environment.

That sucks bro, I get on the 15fwy at baseline to go to work in Hesperia 4 day a week. I also work Graveyard ,so I head up the hill during rush hour traffic. It sucks with all the traffic but it been great riding weather. Heal up quick bro.

BTW what were you wearing for riding gear when you went down. I too am guilty of rolling with just a skid lid. But i aways were jeans and boots, SS T-shirt if its warm and some tan industrial gloves.

Motolex! was wearing steel toed boots that barely were rubbed, levis, not even scathed, thick Carhartt jacket that got worn through in some parts, forgot to mention the road rash half way up my back that hurts the worst on my whole body, leather gloves that were not really scathed a bandana, some wiley x glasses both seem fine and a german helmet that is scraped up but not through and no neck injuries. I was wearing a Rolex, yeah I know I just like watches, that all I have to show for it is half of the case though.

Glad you are alright. Blows dogs for quarters that you dropped your scoot, but on the bright side, now you get a new one and chicks dig scars!!!!!!

Wow! That happened to me while in my Tahoe and it destroyed the front of it. I even told my wife I'm glad I wasn't on the bike or it could have been worse. Glad you made it bro.

Wow, that is truly a nightmare scenario. Glad you made it through. Whenever I have stuff in my pickup or utility trailer I strap it down with bungee cords or ratchet straps. It's amazing how much lift the wind creates at 70 mph. Had to lose a few garbage cans on way home from dump before I realized it. Hope you enjoy your new bike and underwear.
