Looking at your pics all i can is you had to have an angel protecting you. You were truely blessed that day.Glad your back on the road.

 

Glad you are okay.Takes a set of ***** and the love for something to let you continue to do the thing that almost killed you.Hey when times get crappy always remember how you felt after the accident,about your wife and family.

 

Like I said, dont know really. Been riding my whole life and know front end shake can happen with bad tire pressure, too much rebound, bad rake/trail design etc coupled with speed and road conditions. My bike was in great shape, tire pressure was good (check weekly). I had 14 " apes, I was accelerating as I swung over to the left lane and bang, the front end started shaking so bad that I could barely hold on to the bars. I knew not to hit the brakes and to let up on the gas. Tires didnt blow, no other mechanical failure was spotted at the dealership where it was towed.

 

Lucky to say the least. These are the kind of post that scare the hell out of me. Unexpected wobble without warning. Is it Harley or does this thing just happen on any bike. Seems like its just a accident waiting to happen to all of us.

 

A+ absolutely! I've had two crashes on my police bikes over the years, and was back in the saddle after a few days each time. I tried to learn from my mishaps, and am very grateful to God that I'm in one piece and still kicking.

I'm glad that your injuries were't too bad (considering the nature of your crash), and that you got back on the bike and will continue riding. A true rider picks himself up, dusts himself off and thanks God that he's still there. He learns from what happened and moves on, just as you've done.

My hat's off to you.

Happens to any bike. Happened to me on a sport back back in the day. What I hit was a gap, or a linear pot hole, that grabbed the front wheel as I was leaning over to change lanes. Bike got squirrely and went into a death tank slapper. I think since the bike was a hell of a lot lighter then a big cruiser I was able to save it.

 

Glad your maintaining a good attitude. Where abouts on I-95 were you running? I know there's lots of contraction between Melbourne and Titusville, and the road is really f'd up. One stretch has half old pavement and uneven new. I cringe when riding there and have to change lanes. Also north of cocoa beach they used concrete instead of asphalt, maybe just my tires but the front gets wobbly on that stretch.

Heal well & take care

 

Glad you are still with us and able to ride again.

 

Unlucky but lucky. Yes you are very blessed. Knoow how you feel. Last summer a truck knocked me off my bike at 70 and only had a broken wrist, which I found out 6 weeks later. Glad youre mending

 

Good for You! Glad you are healing well, have a supportive wife & have the courage to ride again. You are blessed in many ways.
