Bikerbozo
Class Clown
I say stupid, because it was completely my fault. No cars, dogs, wombats or midget clowns to blame.
Trike in shop (HD slacking off getting it back to me). Was on my '04 Electra glide 2-wheeler. After work heading to final softball games. Changed to shorts and sneakers at bar (ginger ale only). On way to field with light drizzle starting. Road I used to know well. Going a hair fast for what still looked like dry road. Concrete and worn stone. Good curve in road. Clown who should have slowed down more than he did. Completely lost traction when trying to brake. Had to keep letting go of brakes to work on steering. Heading towards pole. Car coming the other way. If I had managed to make turn, would have been head on collision. Managed to aim for clear path into woods. Jumped curve right on target. Seemed to have clipped guide wire for pole. Sent me over handlebars as it stopped bike real fast. Tucked and rolled. Landed on my back sliding feet first.
Not sure, but I either hit handlebars with my legs or impacted on something when sliding. Note this was all around 30 mph. Crawled back to see how bike was (I dont think too bad. Windshield gone. Looks straight). Passersby asked if I needed ambulance. I did. Was sitting up at this point. Was pretty sure nothing broken. Correct. Gash in left leg. Right leg severely sprained and road (woods) rash. X-rays all clean. With the amount of milk I drink, my bones are like steel. Friends about 10 min behind me stopped to gather up everything that spilled out of tourpac. Then gave me ride home later.
Called the wife to break the news to her. She outsmarted me and saw caller I'D was from hospital.
I probably won't be up to riding even trike when I get it back. Planning on still making TTNE rally, even if in truck. I'll just relax pool side for the weekend. Was supposed to fly to New Orleans Monday for work. With brace I can't bend knee. No way to fly. Guess I will be home for 2 weeks annoying the wife.:qpnmt::Whack::Crap:
