I’m glad you didn’t get hurt seriously but I think everyone is missing the big picture here. Dude you have crashed 4 times on a motorcycle. You either have the worst luck of anyone on a motorcycle or you need to improve your riding skills. I got my first street bike the year before you were born and have probably averaged around 5000 miles a year for the last 28 years with 1 crash. That crash was in 1995 and reason I crashed was I was drunk. It was a single vehicle crash with no one to blame but me. You need to do something before your 5th crash happens. OK I'll get off my soap box now.

Totally useless and uncalled for post considering you obviously know nothing about Joe, his riding habits or abilities, or the circumstances of the times he's been down. \\; Get off the soapbox and stay off \\;- forever.

Joe, glad you are okay.

Dam Bro, just glad to hear that your not too bad. I hate to hear about things like this. Sounds like someone was watching out for you. Happy new V-Rod shopping!!! Some guys here would kill to have thier other half say that after they layed down a bike.
Think the guy did it on purpose? \\;Just sounds like he did, not sure \\;but dam ....... \\;If this was the case, may God rest his Soul (if you know what I mean).

RE: just got hit by a car!
ooh she knows now... i feel like someone took a baseball bat to my ribs, my hands and forarms now have scabbed up, so i feel them everytime i move... ahh... ooh well, met with the police and head of the club house today, yep he was in the Gin mill getting drunk... he did not play golf, has to use a walker to get around, but is a regular at the bar. \\; funny thing is no one knows his last name or where he lives, I have Jim the guy that drinks Jack and cokes on thursdays to go off of. \\; He always pays by cash so we can not track him that way. \\; we will have to wait to see if he is dumb enough to come back thurs. \\; I have to order a new windshield for her bike, but that is all, everything else i was able to polish out... funny i get tossed into the street ad the bike goes into some muddy grass, go figure. \\; ill let you guys know what happens at things progress.

.If you have a vehicle description and a first name I would think the police could probably track the old guy down. A guy with a walker is probably not driving far to get his drinks. Good luck finding him, hopefully someone gets his *** off the road soon. I am not sure what state you are in, but if the police do not help it might be worth your time to spend a buck or two on a private dick to track the guy down. Should not be too hard.

God Bless and Protect you man!!
