Sorry about the mishap, that is a bummer for sure. Glad injuries were minor and the old couple was ok too. Hope your bruises heal fast.

I bent the frame on my 06 Heritage Classic trying to take it off-road (unintentionally) in a curve. They didn't total it, just replaced the frame. Other than a few scratches, the only other thing damaged was the rear brake cylinder was torn off. Thank heavens for a muddy ditch! That is the day I learned the meaning of "Ride Your OWN Ride!"

Glad you're okay, Pastor. Sounds like it could have been much worse. Maybe I missed it, but what made you go down?
