Stupid, Stupid & Stupid. I told my wife I was going to the Harley Shop. At the entrance of my Neighborhood, "Four Lanes", I cross two lanes of traffic to get to the other two Lanes. I am sitting in my entrance and a large boom truck gets in the turning lane into my neighborhood, I am thinking he may not have enough room to swing in without hitting me. Instead of rolling backwards and giving him room, I looked, did not see anything beside him, cars way behind him, I made a split second decision to cross the two lanes of traffic on Big Red.

When I cross his frontend and looked to my left, I not only pulled out in front of one but two other pickup trucks beside him in the blind spot!!!!!! :oops: They both hit their brakes and tried to go right but the lager truck was in the way. The truck in the passing lane, (running about 55 mph) hit me about my saddle bag behind my left hip. I herd the crash and the next thing I know, I am crouched down looking at my bike from the front saying 'Stupid, Stupid & Stupid....... The Lord took me off of that bike. I only had a scratch on my hand, elbow and back. I never hit the ground. :o :(

Sorry for the damge to the bike but am glad you OK. We have all done that kind of thing.
