On 5/1/07 Iwas on my way to work at 6:40 am, a truck made a left turn and cut me off, he was issued a ticket for not yielding the right of way and driving with a suspending driver license. He used no directional just went fo rthe left I saw him and slowed down flashed lights and horn, I had no where to go I ended up locking up the rear brake and layed the bike down so I wouldn't have a head on. I stayed on the bike and sort of got sandwhiched. I broke my left leg and knee, 7 ribs on the left side, both sholder blades and rotator cuffs. No head trauma and my left lung survived. This was 3 weeks ago and I am healing up, feel a lot better and am finally home. I was wearing a helmet, jeans and boots, which one of the boots had a hole in it, sneakers I woulld have lost part of my foot. As for the bike bent license plate, saddlebag scuffed and wind scuffed. It all happened so fast! you think what could I have done better or differentley? but I then think it wasn't my fault and I'm luckly to be alive. The best thing to do, for me anyway is where a hemet and dress for riding and of course watch out for the other guy. I pray and hope all my brother and sisters out there that have gone heal fast and condolences to the familys that lost a loved one. We have to be seen, people in cars or trucks need to pay attention! God Bless All

I went down Monday. Similar scenario, butI went down at a slow speed. I've been walking around in a funk ever since. Reading your post made me realize how damned lucky I am to be walking around in a funk.

Heal well, brother.
