I know! I just hear that so much, and it only seems to make the asshole that caused it feel better! They need to feel AS BAD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE!!!

Hoist!

Hurry "back," Grinner! !   Glad that is was not worse. 

Funny, they keep trying to make cars, "idiot proof"  but the keep letting idiots drive.

Sorry to hear about your crash Grinner. Won't call it an accident because it was due to some one else's lack of attention. Our prayers will be with you for a full and speedy recovery!

On 11-4-09, at about 6:30pm eastern, I t-boned a Nissan in north Georgia at about 50mph.  I was coming into an intersection, geared down and saw everything was clear.  As soon as I committed to going through, the Nissan turned right in front on me - no options other than impact.  My four month old CVO SESG was completely totaled.  I flew about 85 feet in the air after impact, and skidded another 20-30 feet after landing.  Lifeflighted me to Atlanta trauma where I stayed in ICU and CCU for 10 days.  Got back home on Friday night 11-13.  Broke (or fractured) everything on my left side (scapula, collarbone, left arm, left hand, 9 ribs, pelvis, left leg, left ankle).  Thank God I am a rightee so able to still do a lot!!  Collapsed both lungs, but no neck/back trauma, no internal issues, little impact rash on my chin and right knee.  

Very thankful to be alive and able to recover in time.  Had all my leathers on, 3/4 helmet too, and was told point blank that my gear definitely kept me from greater harm.  Thanks to all my buds for their immediate and continued support, my thanks to God for reaching down and saving me, and safe rides to everyone!

In my best Terminator voice - "I'll be back!"

We are definitely thinking about you!!! Please take the time to heal AND to locate another CVO bike that the guys insurance company can go buy you ASAP so you can at least stare at it in your garage while you are healing and plan out what you want to do to it.

BEST WISHES

Glad to hear of your good fortune! You can get another bike!  but another life not so much!

Been down that road!

heal fast and listen to the PT tech, sometimes they cause you more pain than the original trauma!

Hope to see you on the road again soon!

Best Regards,
Wheels

Here's to a speedy recovery...

It was a young girl in an 09 Nissan, and I'm pretty sure she was on her cell phone at the time.  Just found out I totaled her car.

Short-term I will be in a wheelchair until mid-January.  Long-term they are concerned about the ankle and the arm/wrist.  Can't foot shift if ankle doesn't recover so you can bet your a## I'll be following all orders to heal.

You guys and gals are FANTASTIC - thanks for all the responses and encouragement!

[grinner]

Hoist,

Never met you but I love you man!!!!!!

Grinner,
Sorry to hear about the accident and the dumb-a$$ bimbo turning in front of you.   But very glad to hear that you're still around to talk about it.  I was in the same position as you and I got called three days after I got out of the hospital by the officer that investigated the accident, and he told me, I know this doesn't make your pain any less, but if it's any comfort, you totaled the guys pickup when he hit you.  It didn't ease the pain any, or bring back my bike, but it did bring a small painful smile to my face...

Heal quick bro so you can get back in the wind...

[Screamin]

Man does crashing suck! Glad you're on the road to recovery and best wishes for a total recovery.

On Oct 26th this year in Ontario they made it illegal to use a cell phone without handsfree device. Minimum fine is $500, worse if it is the cause of an accident and God forbid if someone is killed, the Crown Attorney has the right in certain cases to move charges from vehicular manslaughter to criminally negligent homicide.

Grinner, very sorry to hear about you being cut off. Wow it gave me the willie's thinking about it. That's the scenario I get the sweats over! You seem to have a solid grip on things... so kuddo's to you dude!!!

Take care of yourself and mend!!
