If you do ride again seriously consider a pulsating headlight add on. It's saved my bacon many times as I see cars start to pull out from driveways and stop short when they see my flashing headlight. It's called a "headlight modulator" and is legal in most States. Easy to install inline on your headlight wiring harness and you can turn it off and on by hitting the high/low beam switch rapidly. It goes to full on in low light automatically. Great stuff. Glad you survived and good luck on your recovery!!!
so does that mean I should wear a helmet going down the stairs.....//?? not being a smart but, but that sorta proves the point. slip in your bathroom and bam head hits sink I shoulda had a helmet on. glad the op and his wife are on the way to recovery.
Ask Indian Larry if wearing a helmet is a good idea??? Oh wait.....
it always hurts to hear about a brother or sister going down period, but due to some idiot not paying attention makes it worse, best of luck to the both of you.
A friend of mine went over the handlebars after hitting an animal. Was lucky enough to walk away with some serious road rash and a bad headache. But this is what his helmet looks like now. Without it, he would likely not have survived.
Glad you guys were wearing yours, and that you're going to be okay.
We are thankful you and your wife are OK. We have been there along with our community and all understand where your head is at too. God bless you and prayers for continued healing of your bodies and minds. There is no shame in hanging it up, 30 years was a good run, and it is such a different road way out there than it used to be...
You're ok, she's ok.
Your experience, understanding, skill and ability saved the day.
Don't beat yourself up, use it as a learning experience. Hell of a training aid, but you've learned.
95 can and is a ridiculous place in the DMV. Agreed.
Drink your favorite libation, reflect and learn, now move on.
Most if not all around here have been in a tight situation one way or another. You came out clean.
Three years after the accident, I hope he checks in and updates us...
