Default Upgrade on hold.... Probably forever

Sunday the wife and I were out for a slow put through southern Wisconsin when a 19 year old kid decided to blow a stop sign and try to kill us..... Bride and I got banged up pretty good, but can't complain from hitting a car that came out of no where... Bike I think is headed for the parts bin..

Thank God you guys survived! Get healthy and take care of yourself and the wife. The good lord is taking care of you brother. Your story is our story. It can happen to any of us at any given moment. Good luck with the healing process. Hope to see you back in here someday!

Keith.

Good thing you and the wife got out of it alive. I ride all over southern Wisconsin and it seems to be getting worse for people blowing thru stop signs, some areas worse then others. Hopefully you'll be getting back into riding.

Machines can be replaced, people can't. Mend up, take a step back and you'll know what you want to do down the road.

glad you made it out safe. There will always be another project as long as you are still among the breathing.

I almost got clipped 2x when riding home from work the other day. One was a big cargo truck who looked at me and then turned on his turn signal and starting merging while i was right next to him, the other a lady looking down and didn't see us stopping. I was ready to do some lane splitting when she swerved out into the emergency lane all locked up. It's a scary place sometimes with these stupid cagers.

Thanks for all the kind words, we are very fortunate and know it. Maybe stereo time in whatever is down the road for me...
