I personally think for sure he was. Hell, you are right it's getting to be a huge thing. All kids do it. Sorry, by kid, I mean this guy was 27. He got out of his car with his cell phone still in his hand. He was holding it in his hand when I hobbled up to his car with my helmet in my right hand. Honestly, I didn't do anything because he looked like he was staring at a ghost. Kinda freaked me out really. Had to check myself. I guess I just come from a different era. I won't even talk on my cell phone in a cager and won't even look at it if I get a text.

That's a great pre-crash pic. It really is a pretty bike. There's so much on it I like. It sounds like you have the skills to bring her back to that again.

In the meantime, you'll have to ride the pink/white bike I saw in the background in one of your pics.

Lol! Yep. I love that bike. Put many a mile on it. Almost wish I was on it Saturday, but that paint job cost a bundle.

Not really, but a dang nice bike. Just an ole 2006 Honda Aero 750. The rich lady that had it before spent a boatload and had it painted by Emil of Debonair FX. He's the guy that has some TV show Pimp my ride, or trick my whatever. Not sure, burt it is a beautiful paint job for a Honda! Looks like I'll be riding it this summer.

Here's to hoping the repairs come quick on your Sportster.

But still, it's nice you have an option.

Great that you are up and walking around. Even busted up, you can still work on your ride....I think. Wish you a fast recovery. I am old too and I know the body takes longer to recover...and definitely not as fast as you want.

I am sure as I get older, (if thats possible) the story will grow!
Am pleased to hear it! More of a James Bond crash then? Shaken but not stirred!!
