Default I'm in hell

Well as some of you know I've just finished my 7 months project bringing a 09 iron back to life,*
I've been waiting for the weather to turn sunny and warm to get out and give it a real ride.
Well here in the uk we have a bank holiday (4day weekend) coming up, the weather is really sunny and hot and Monday I go and have a head on crash with a car in my works van.
I'm now stuck inside unable to turn my head or lift my left arm above shoulder height. It's killing me not to be out on my bike :0(
Just wanted to share my sadness lol, to all you riding, take care, it's not you it's other drivers :0)

No wonder, you guys drive on the wrong side of the street.

Seriously, sorry to hear about your accident, you will be out on the bike soon enough. At least you got some nice weather, it has been cold and raining for the past week straight here in Ohio.

Glad you're gonna be ok, but as soon as I read "van" in the description of the crash I was much more relieved.

Yep sorry guys not really sportster related, lol
It makes me cold thinking what would have happened if I had been on two wheels.
Seeing that car on my side of the road coming towards me, I won't forget it in a hurry :0)
