Glad your back in the saddle. Drive like they're trying to kill you and you'll be fine. Training does work as you stated.

Don't I know it!! 3 feet of air space that I gave myself 2 split seconds before she pulled left out of a side street is what saved me. Thought my left leg was gone when I hit the ground. Engine guard saved it. Lower left leg ankle to knee was fileted open & crushed, right shoulder broken. $6000.00 cosmetic damage on my 2000 Heritage. You'll all be proud, I did not cry!!! I phoned the Lawyer while on the ground waiting for the meat wagon to pick me up.

It's taken a divorce, 4 yrs & 4 surgeries to get to this point. Am thrilled to be back on. This birthday was a great one!!!!

Cheers,
Linda
