For those who might remember I totaled Bonnie in June of '06 by Labor Day I had her back to new specs.
Well June 3rd '09 I was running down to Des Moines for a BBQ contest and a skool bus pulled out in front of me.
I don't know if Bonnie will be totaled this time but I nearly was.
Multiple spine fractures (3) in a collar for 6 weeks. Broken nose, nasal cavity, cheek bones, skull fracture. They had to do emergency surgery to save my left leg and many abrasions and bruises.
All of this even thogh I was wearing a full face helmet, armoured jacket, gloves and boots.
I'll be fine but am going to miss the Mid-west gathering in July.
Me and the Bike?? Wife says divorce me the minute my leg slides over the saddle again. I think she might mean it this time.
So take care all. Wear your gear, and ride well.
