Totaled out my 07 EG Classic
I've been away from this forum for about 3 months now. In late July I bought an '07 EG Classic. I had just put 1000 miles on it and took it for a nice ride the day before I was to take it in for the 1000 mile service. Well I was cruising in the country and came around a 45 mph corner and I saw a 2'X3' patch of fine gravel on the roadway. I'm not sure what happened next. I remember seeing the 4X4 sign post that I was heading for and then nothing until they put me in the trauma helicopter. I was in intensive care for 4 days and 3 day in the general ward. I had 5 ribs broken in 8 places, a banged up spleen and kidney, collapsed/punctured lung, left ankle was 6" in diameter and black. The bike was totaled out. I just got back to work a week ago. I was out for 11 weeks. I slept in my Lay-Z-Boy for 8 weeks. Now I'm sleeping on an air mattress.
Oh yeah, I went looking for another bike today. Got my eye on a 2004 Road King Classic. Unfortunately, it's almost winter.

Glad to hear you're on your way back to riding again. At 19 (1970), I totalled out my bike, lost my right knee cap, 11 weeks in the hospital (while I was in the Navy). First time I was out of the hospital for a few hours of leave, I rode back on another bike. They chewed me out pretty good, but I survived, and so will you. Hang in there. George

Laid my RK down on a highway by Giant Stadium about 2 months ago. A car was stopped in the middle lane for absolutely no reason at night, right over a hillcrest. Had nowhere to go. I faired much better than you. About 2k to he bike, a broken rib, tons of black and blues, and a bruised ego. Glad your here to tell us about it and hope you continue to mend.
