Default Oh crap!

Good friend and co-worker went down yesterday afternoon. A lady turned left in front of him. He tried to dodge her but she still clipped the rear end of his bike sending him sliding down the road on his back. He suffered 3 broke ribs, some damage to some vertabre that won't be any trouble , a lotta road rash and a bunch of stitches in his foot. His Road King is toast. He spent the night in the hospital and came home today. He's thinking he'll never get on a bike again.
He loves to ride and had been on some pretty long rides out west and up north. He wanted to get together and ride this weekend but due to previous comittments I couldn't make it. Now it doesn't matter anyway. This sux. Keep your eyes open and expect the unexpected out there folks. Ride safe

Sorry to hear about your friend. At least he'll recover and who knows maybe he'll change his mind about riding again.

If he really loves riding he will get back on. I've had a couple and sometimes ask myself what the f**k am I doing. Here is the problem I love being out there on that thing and just going. So that love for the ride is stronger than that fear. But it will teach you respect for the many dangers out there.
