So to bring this full circle...

Got some screwing around with the insurance company, but that is a different thread.

Ended up trading my wrecked FLHTC, the insurance check, and some $$$ for a 2010 Ultra in Vivid Black with security and ABS. Brought it home last night. As it sits, it is pure stock but that will change in short order.

On a side note, one of the riders at work was killed on his way in yesterday.

Please all - do be safe out there. I know I'm riding different that I was a few weeks ago.

 

Well, glad ya got a new scoot... and thanks for your words of wisdom!

 

Thanks for sharing your lessons learned. Glad you're OK. Hope you can get the bike fixed fairly quickly.

 

I agree with you. We sure don't see that very often. It seems like it's always the other persons fault.

Those painted center lines are extremely slick when wet.

 

Glad to hear you are ok. I think that everyone that rides needs to be reminded every now and then to keep your head in it (the ride). Thanks for the reminder.

 

Glad you're ok and that it turned out as well as it did.

 

God does protect those in his will. I was T-boned in my car about 6 years ago, passenger side. My car was totaled, I was knocked unconscious, came to 30 feet off the road facing the opposite direction. Paramedics were dumbfounded that I had only a couple small cuts on top of my head. Passenger door was caved in past the driver seat. I have other dangerous hobbies besides riding, never fear, and always trust in God's protection.

 

Well I will thank god you are OK, couple of years ago I cut a deer in half at 70. Bike stayed up through the deer and another 20 or so but like you in the guts and goo my rear tire locked and I went down for close to a hundred feet..leathers and the good lord saved my but a cager helped me tireiron the fender off the wheel and I rode home..this year i replaced tghe bike with a new electra glide..and opted for ABS.. Truly glad you are doing well

Sorry to hear about your ride and your injuries , but it seems you got the ride part sorted out quick and you'll be all one color again soon I suspect lol . Good to hear it wasn't more serious , especially after you tell us what happened to one of the other riders on his way in that day . Ride safe brother !
