Default Accident and Aftermath
Thanks to all of you who gave me words of encouragement regarding my accident (hit by car) last Thursday.&nbsp\\; Haven't heard from the ins co yet regarding repair or replace but I do know the frame is bent.&nbsp\\; I am thinking about giving it up after this accident and a very close call only one month ago.&nbsp\\; I have pics of the damage but cannot post.......I will check in later with more news.&nbsp\\; Thanks again.
2008 FLHR.

Good Luck and God Bless.&nbsp\\; Close calls can alter our destiny.&nbsp\\; I've had a couple but choose to keep riding.&nbsp\\; All in all, what better way to go.&nbsp\\; No, I don't have a death wish, I'm careful, but just can't imagine life without two wheels under me.&nbsp\\; JHMO.&nbsp\\; Hope all goes well with you and your family.&nbsp\\; CCRyder

Take your time and when you are ready (if ever) then you'll get back on the iron pony. Best of luck!

I had an accident back in 2000, wasn't sure if I'd get back on. Bought my SB, was nervous, but glad I did it.
