glad he's ok, the bruise pride is the hardest to heal, hope he can shake it off and get back on the saddle soon.

I've noticed a lot of loose gravel on the roads lately. Hope all heals quickly for him. If he has some down time and is a reader as well as a rider, may I suggest "The Shack" if it hasn't already been read.

I can sympathize...Hope he isn't too sore and gets well soon. I was rear-ended earlier this week and am still quite sore myself. As has been said several times before, the bike can be fixed...Good luck

That's sad to hear...all that chrome. Bikes can be fixed and replaced...it's health that's the important thing. I'd much rather be able but not have anything to ride than to have something to ride and not be able.
