You Should Have Seen The OTHER Guy

The first responders dusted the spilled fork oil to prevent traffic problems.

For the full story and updates please go to my blog.

And yes, I walked away. No blood, no broken bones. My gear was totaled but I wasn't. Ride smart, kids! Fifteen years of daily two wheel riding and this is the first serious accident I've ever had.

*s* Thank you, picgerl. I'm fine, a tiny bit sore once in a while but otherwise right as rain. Heartbreaking? Oh yes. Every time I see a bike out and about and it's NOT me it just tears at me.

Timo, I did. *g* I often brag that I wear almost $2000 in safety gear every time I set ass on that bike, $500 of which goes into my Arai Quantum helmet. And yes, I think it would have--I hit head and shoulders first, on my back. I'd probably have had a concussion if I'd been bare-skulled. Not the kid!

I heard that from a cop friend of mine the first year I started riding, fifteen years ago. *g* I'm glad it took that long for my moment down to come. Keep your eyes open, ride defensive and keep the shiny side up!
