The milk made it. Good thing, it cost 4 bucks and wasn't insured!

Sad, but better the bike totaled instead of you. Sounds like you did evasion almost perfect. Just hit the front end instead of t-boning and didn't drop the bike till after impact. That means you kept the wheels on the road instead of the metal and maintained some control. Too many people think that laying down the motorcycle is the first thing you do instead of the last.

Glad to hear you're OK! Since you didn't mention it, did you spill the milk?

Man. And you land on your feet standing up!
Go to church brother and thank god.
You'll have a new bike shortly but most people don't get nearly as lucky as you. Lost a buddy 2 years ago that rode over road kill at night and went down broke his neck.
You my friend need to rejoice on this one. Merry christmas.

sorry to hear. walking away I'm sure gives a new meaning to christmas for your family.
one bad thing about this time of year is that they are watching for us even less (if that's even possible).

Could have been better but it could have been a heck of a lot worse for sure!! The main thing is that you were able to make it home - and with the milk no less!! "Stuff" can be replaced...

Must be a Canadian thing though - when someone mentions "sled" I automatically think snowmobile...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year - start looking for a replacement ride!!
