Smile Hello all, I am a Cobb

Hello every one, and yes I am a C.O.B.B.. I HAVE BEEN FOR AWHILE NOW, ON 6/15/99 I was introduced to a old International Semi while I was riding on the highway at around 9:00 pm. It came up from behind me and knocked the you know what out of me! I got ejected off the bike and slammed into a wall that held back the embankment and then proceed to flip-Flop and also I did some gymnastics by tumbling for a 100 yds....... The Doctors called my Wife and said bring my 3 Children with her! When she got there she was told to let my Kids come in my room to say Good Bye to me. They told my Wife that I had less then a 2% chance of making it thru the night ...well I made it thru and I also had to be "Jump Started" a few times over the next three months....
I am now at grips that after 27 years of riding that I can no longer ride!
But I still want to work on and also learn about the new bikes that H-D is putting out...Hence my reason for joining this group..........Please forgive me if I ask a really dumb question.....after 4 or 5 times of getting restarted or as the newer saying goes "Rebooting" my memory was effected a great deal...so I say ahead of time I am sorry for being a schmuck .....
Happy Holidays to all !
