Brian, John and Mike and I went for a ride yesterday to Highlands NC. When we got ready to leave I made a U turn from the parking spot and dropped the bike! I was told that I was unconscious and the bike was on one of my legs. I don't remember anything about it! The last thing I remember was opening my tourpack before leaving, next thing I remember is standing on the side walk talking to Brian and John. I don't remember dressing for the ride, starting the bike or making the U turn! Weird. I was told that I talked to EMT's and told them I was fine and sent them on their way. Big mistake! After walking around and sitting for about 30 minutes I realized that I needed to get check out. John called 911, they came back out and transported me to the local hospital. Judy wasn't on the ride with me and John called her and she drove from Maggie Valley to be with me and carry me back to MV.
I was diagnosed with a concussion and bruised ribs.
John and Brian left my bike at the fire department in Highlands. The service manager at my local HD dealer heard about my situation and is sending someone to pick up my bike. Thank you Mike!
Anyway, I'm OK. A lot of pain from my ribs and a slight headache, Can't drive or ride for three weeks. It could have been a lot worse!
Thanks to John, Mike, Brian, Judy and the service manager at my local dealer!
