Here I am!. I know everyone here has been worried sick about me since July. I have been away from Alabama working in Kansas City, Missouri. I don't have a laptop and didn't feel like a library visit so there was no internet for me. That was nice, since I got to play my guitar as much as I wanted, but I missed BA.com and my brethren & sistren. I am home for Thanksgiving, and will be back in KC,MO Sunday evening for a few more weeks before the layoff.
Before I left Platte City Tuesday morning, I rode to Parkville, MO to pick up a few gifts for my bride, and laid my bike down when a truck pulled in front of me. A couple small scratches on the bike and none on me. I rode back to my apartment to load my bike in my truck in the rain. As I rode up the ramp, the back tire slipped and off the ramp it went bounced off the tailgate and flipped over, landing on concrete on its other side. Two dents in tank, front fender cracked, rear fender bent, lost two turn signals, one mirror, one coolsac throttle grip, bent backrest and tore the pad. I managed to stay on top of bike, but the end of handlebar stuck my right thigh hard causing a bone deep bruise. Remember what I say, "if you're gonna be dump, you gotta be tough" (now I wish I was tough and rich). It would have been nice if Yota would have been there to make an initial assessment, laugh at me, and help me finish loading my broke up motorcycle! I'll get it fixed when I get laid off.
