RE: Update on my accident
I share your pain, my lower right(kicker)leg was crushed into 8 pieces back in Nov. As I built the bike myself I have to rebuild. As soon as I was cleared by the doc, I went out and kicked the bike over a few times to assure I could. I then stripped it so the frame could be straightened(frame guy should be done next week). I have a big window at work facing I10 between Houston/San Antonio and hearing the bikes daily is frustrating as hell. Have been ordering parts and set up with a good bud who does dynamite paint. Did attend a 4 day rally last week and got to put a few miles on an old freinds softail, that was Great! Good luck to you!
Ready to go when the frame comes back!

RE: Update on my accident
Well its not good to sare your pain and I am sorry to hear about your bike as well. Its a very nice looking custom! I think that half the fun is going to be being laid up so I can sawp of paitend inner fairings and to put all the parts back on that I want. I ordered an ultra classic tourpack that I get to play with and put on that should be fun wiring the speakers and hunting for a backrest. I am really looking forward to it as I am not going to let this get me down! It will happen slowly but surely and I can think of this as like half of winter! Except this time I am down and bike is sitting there but I have to time to play and not miss out on riding time. Plus I really like surfing the forum.

RE: Update on my accident
I have to admit I'll use the opportunity to upgrade some things and modify my riding position a little. Always felt the forwards were an in or two to forward and the Cobra seat was fine 10 yrs ago when I had a butt. Over the years I've collected a few ideas to improve it, now I have the chance. Atleast I'm up and about, the leg aint perfect but I can work with it. Just got a late start taking the bike down but things are coming together. The frame work and painting will determine how soon I can kick it and ride. Assembly will be a snap, I've done it before!

RE: Update on my accident
Godspeed on your recovery my friend. Your positive attitude is an inspiration in itself.
I wish you well with your new bike, and hope it turns out better than you expect.
I wish I lived closer to you, so i could cheer you up in person, or help you with your new ride, but with the attitude you have, I'm sure you have more friends than you can shake a stick at.
