Smile Rider down

Howdy guys and gals, Hell, three of us take the day off, no wives or kids. man we went to breakfast had a great ride, well, we dicided to take a lunch ride, after all ,the day is young, so off we go to the local choke and puke to get a bite , hit the country roads and then it happened, my buddy bringing up the rear over ran one of those decieving turns, panicked and off he went in the ditch, locked up the rear wheel. CRAP, we are in the middle of no where. So in the end he is ok couple of scrapes is all. To add a little happy ending since he did not get hurt bad or anything. The question to him was, Well Fred, your bike is trashed, and we need to get you to the doc and get you cleaned up, Who do you want to ride bitch with. He started laughing hard, we all did. glad my buddy is ok, he lived to ride another day, and real happy about it. This is just something we all need to accept as riding motorcycles for fun, or a living. god bless. boy an i happy. my bud is ok.

Wow, no kidding. What a blessing that he is OK. Glad you guys found the lighter side. Always nice to have a reminder how quickly things can go bad if we're not careful.
