Thanks. I'll say this much - she rides too fast. I don't think speed was the issue in this particular case but she was freaking flying around blind turns where I slow down a good bit, even though I know the lay of the road by heart. A couple of times I was a little afraid I'd go around a bend behind her to find something I didn't want to see. We need to talk...
1st - I hope all is well health wise. You can fix a bike, people not so EZ!
When the time is rite, a good talking WITH her couldn't hurt. I emphasized WITH because nobody likes to be preached at. She will probably need to "face her demonds" to get back on the horse, or not. I hope all remains well and you all remain safe!
Nope - Harley "half" helmet. Face untouched, she said she tried to tuck and roll and to protect her face, but her hands have no evidence of impact either, so she musta done a good job.
Interestingly - her jeans are completely undamaged, but her knee and hip show some decent road rash - through the jeans, which as I said - are untouched!
Side note - she's a tough chick - still wanted you know what this morning!
I love to ride, always have, but it's good to remind yourself how quickly it can all go south. Glad she's OK!
Sorry to hear that but glad she is ok - The image you hold must be tough - replays in slow motion - I hope that she takes your advice and concern about slowing down -
Speedy recovery to you both -
Give her a couple of days and have her get checked out. Trust me three days after I was rear ended the pain and soreness really rolled in hard. Just tell her to have the Doc give her a once over just to be sure.
I'm Glad she's doing ok, and wearing her gear. I had a good one a long time ago. bruises and road rash on my legs. but my jeans were ok. didn't see any marks on em, just dirt.
