What super tramp sez really does work.
I also carry lug nuts in my pockets, given the chance to throw one
they can get someones attention if they are cutting you off
from a lane besides you.
But, looking both ways before going thru a green light is
some of the best advice I ever got.

Horrible news, bike can be replaced by a new one.... Hope you get better really soon......




Freaking people here in Miami are color blind I know I typed this before but here it goes:

Green means go
Yellow means speed up
Red means go even faster

Between all theAzzholes on the cell,eating,texting,putting on makeup, reading etc...[:@][:@][:@]
not paying attention.Someof them were riding a donkey in their third world country thenmigrate here and buy the biggest truck,suv etc and claim that they know how to drive.

the same can be said here in Palm Beach, FL - you have to be so careful!

Knowing how people run the lights I always cross an intersection carefully.

Glad youwere able to walk away from it, not to mention having plenty of witnesses. If it was the white Ultra in your sig, sorry to see it happen to such a beautiful machine but at least you lived to tell about it.
I go through an intersection every morning with cagers speeding on the service road to get ahead of the traffic on the highway. Its gotten so bad I've actually counted 6 cars go through after my light was green![:@]
I finally called the police and said they needed to park someone at the corner every morning during rush hour and they'd make their quota in a day. I still haven't seen a police car there. Every time I'm in the front of the pack when it goes green, when I'm in my car, mind you, I start pulling out - if they are there, I just get right up to their door give 'em brights and lay on the horn. The first time I did it, the freakin' CEO drinkin' coffee, reading the stock page as he blew through the light got a full dose. I think the coffee wound up on his lap scared him so bad! Freakin' idiots - killers in waiting....

Guys, I appreciate your thoughts, prayers and support.

There are plenty of other bikes to choose from, but when you get something you have absolutely no complaints about, then something happens to take it away, it is very frustrating.

Be Safe.

Funny you should mention that. I carry 1/2" nuts in my jacket pocket. Unless I'm on my Road Glide. I put em in the glove box for easy access. They'll usually get those tailgaters to back off. Old School bro....

Hate to hear about your accident but am glad you are still around, as you know bike can be replaced, you can't. Have a great Christmas.
