I'm recovering from a similar type of wreck on july 25th. I was on my way home from work and was only 1-1/2 miles from home. a 325i BMW came around a Left hand bend, he was 3 feet on my side and he hit a toyota 4 runner head on ( driver to driver anyway) they bounced apart about 8 feet and i came around the corner and laid the bike down. broken R elbow, L wrist, concussion and lotsa bruising. had to be lifeflighted to hospital ($28,000) for the ride and i didn't even get to watch. I may never straighten my right arm completely and have lost almost all my grip in my right hand. my bike is repairable as it only laid down ($5200 to fix it). my riding days are over ( i'm 57 yrs old) and she will be for sale when she comes home from the dealers. 2009 Speedmaster. Almost kinda deja-vu and I'm not putting my family through this episode again, Des



September 27th a car stopped hard on the interstate for little to no reason. Like Friar John my son washed out the bike while stopping went down at about 60MPH. Compound fracture right arm broken left wrist, broken left elbow, 3 broken ribs, 2 facial bones broken and a traumatic brain injury. The brain injury is still keeping him out of work.

You are correct, this stuff is life altering. I was 30' behind him on my bike and still dream it every night. It makes it all much more serious when you see it or live it.

I try to aggravate one person a day. Today may be your day.
