Hello From East Texas
Hello From East Texas.
I’ve been reading this forum since April of last year when I had a lot of time to kill recovering from a pretty bad wreck. I was the victim of a drunk driver who turned left in front of me at a busy intersection and then left the scene of the accident. Witnesses and the police report say I flew at least 30 feet & then rolled another 60 feet after striking the car at around 45 miles per hour. It totaled my prized 2002 Vivid Black Wide Glide. After three months on a cane, four more months of rehab and nine months of insurance hassles I just got back “in the wind” on New Years Eve with a Black Pearl 2008 Street Glide. By the way, the drunk got probation. Go figure. Anyway, I’ve been riding nearly all of my life, about 40 some years I guess, all kinds of bikes & brands. My wife and I ride two-up and love to go hunting new places to eat throughout East Texas, northern Louisiana, southern Oklahoma and Arkansas. I’m a politician, a County Commissioner, so, be assured that in the future when I lie on this forum, I have a license from the Texas Secretary of State that says it’s ok. What spurred me to join y’all after all this time was the huge outpouring of concern and sincere sympathy I have witnessed in the past few days toward one of your own who suffered such a heart rending loss. Any group with that kind of close knit brother and sisterhood is well worth being associated with. Well, nuf said. It’ll be Spring here in East Texas in another week or so, so any of y’all in this neck of the woods lemme know and maybe we can get in a putt or two every once in a while.
