OK...I'm back.  To those of you who asked, I actually got cited, because the Ranger couldn't show that the SUV had crossed into my lane.  Right before the collision, after I had started skidding, she had swerved back into her lane, where the collision occurred.  I wasn't too upset about it, until I got a copy of the accident report, which wasn't completed for 2.5 weeks.  The report was so inaccurate that I had to laugh.  This Ranger didn't have a clue what she was doing.  I'm a cop, and my report for this would have taken about an hour, and would have been done that night.  This one took 2.5 weeks and was BS.  She even put in the report that my buddy hit the SUV after leaving his bike.  Simply wrong.  

Anyway...a silver lining to the story.  We are all healed up mostly, and my buddy who wrecked his Honda VTX (it was totalled) bought a Softail Deluxe that he had been eyeing for a while.  He never had an excuse to switch until the accident.  So I bought his first year to HOG and now we all ride Harleys...haha.

Doc,
Welcome back, glad that you both are all healed and back in the wind. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Now get your buddy in here so we can spend some of his money on some chrome. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]

Ride Safe,

Sorry to hear about the Ranger and paperwork mess, but certainly glad to hear everyone is mended and that your buddy is on a Harley.

Thanks for the update and hope you can get some riding done before you lose the weather. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Doc,

Glad to hear you guys are doing well.  Sorry to hear about the accident I cringe everytime I scroll down to the rider down forum ...

I wish you both a speedy recovery

[Doc]

Thanks for all the support, everyone!  I got my bike back 2 weeks ago.  Rode it home 40 miles in 29 degree cold.  But it was great!  They found a cracked tranny case when they got into the repairs.  So the guy calls me.  "Now would be a great time to put in the 6-speed."  Labor and case are paid for by insurance.  So I couldn't resist, and had it installed.  I loved the ride home.  My buddy (on his new Deluxe) and I went riding that weekend, and it felt great.  THanks again, and ride safe!

Total repair bill.....$13,500 plus $2200 for tranny.

Doc,
   I've been a long time no lid guy,  but as of the last few months,  I'm looking for a good full faced job for long runs.....  Glad you're OK...

Doc, happy to hear that you're back up and running.

I'm curious if you're contesting the accident report as it's written?

[RJ749]

Glad you are back on the road.

Nothing wrong with a cold ride in the right gear on a clear day. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

what  without a helmet ? ? ?

Doc,
 

[CVOMOE!!]

So sorry to hear about your accident.  You can always rely on the other guy cutting the curve to ruin your day.  You were lucky you weren' hurt.  You can't argue that helmets don't save lives and injuries but the fact of the matter is they do.  I know how hard it is in 100 degree weather not to take it off and I'm guilty of that myself.  I hope your buddy is doing good.  You'll love that 6 speed.

Cheers, Moe

Doc, happy to hear that you're back up and running.

Atta boy...Keep the Faith...

Well...the three of us in this accident went out for our first ride together after the accident.  It was nice to get out and ride, have dinner, and talk.  We are all back in the saddle and being a little more wary.  Plus, my buddy has his Harley now.  So that's good.  Cya this summer on the road.
