This is A Letter I wrote to a new Rider friend of mine after the passing of another Great Biker/person before the new yr..
Thanks Richard. I agree. that's what I was saying on link.. Both of mine were due to cagers but they want to blame him of course the biker.. because he was speeding although she didn't yield.. comments are awful. I've written editor and some have been removed.. YOU SHOULD have seen them, make ya sick at your stomach. and YES his wife, ex wife and family are all reading them.. so sad.
You know that's one reason after my last wreck when I couldn't ride or walk for 6 months.. My bike looks like a PURPLE alien coming down the road.. I got them leds all over my bike not just because they Look cool as hell at bike nite but people will now stop a damn mile away at a stop sign and sit and wait to see What the Hell that is coming glowing purple? LOL..and your Right we are 100% of the time driving Defensively always gauging how far that car is or if this one is gonna pull out cause ALL of us have been down. Well NOT YOU. but you are an exception to the rule my friend your new to riding. I hate to tell ya but the honest truth is.. There are those that have been down and those that are going down.. that's IT.. some time or another.. Just ask around.. not to scare you at all its just dangerous Riding cause NOBODY looks. everybody's in such a hurry to get where they are going, angry, on that Life threatening cell phone or text they just have to do while driving a killing machine.. .. But what do you do? You try to educate the public to LOOK and PRAY to god when you head out to Protect us all.
I Know I'm blessed. 2 bad wrecks and about 4 bike drops later.......(for you NEWBIES to my blog Click Read more below for rest of STory) thanks..
(remind me to tell ya bout the one where guy jumped out in front of me at night at 2am LMAO). and I'm still Riding.. One I had I shouldn't have been. Guys in truck behind me, saw mustang in my lane I started to swerve in his lane but then I thought OH surely he is gonna pull the wheel and go back into his lane, then I had tenths of a second to decide hit him head on or eww there's a ditch on my right with/ grass. I choose DITCH... FINAL ANSWER LOL,. As soon as my front tire went of uneven rode it tossed me high side about 20 ft as MY Helmet came off (yes) and I landed back down in bottom of ditch. then my bike flips twice and lands on top of me...I was knocked out, they woke me up. I got up, fell back down, my knees didn't wanna work like I had been on a long binge.. I looked myself over moved my fingers made sure all of me was still attached. My cell phone was ringing somewhere.. i walked around found it, apparently answered it. it was KEN. he as telling me that he was stuck on Gallilee church rd. somebody had had a wreck.. I was like.. OH.. ok.. be careful... I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE he was talking bout ME.. or where I WUZ.. then they had already picked my bike back up and was it sitting up in rd where traffic was backed up everywhere now.. and You know I was so Disoriented I got back on my bike, yes it was still Ridable, and Drove home they say. Why them guys didn't stop me I have NO IDEA. but when I got home my 10 yr looks at me. Sees my clothes all torn and me bleeding says OMG mama what happened? I passed out in floor where I stood woke up in Hospital.. Only thing that was wrong beside concussion wear my helmet snap gave way and my helmet flew off, and both my legs where bike landed on them. It tore acl in one knee and both bilateral and lateral meniscus. I had cast brace on one completely immobilized and the other with full leg brace where it bends.. I was stuck in those FOR 6 months. Could not walk for almost two months. I wasn't supposed to have strength in my knees to ride till about a yr. After 3 months when I learned to walk up and down stairs.. I got mad one day.. LOL (YOUR REMEMBER THIS LISA).. I threw my crutches out the window of my second story house.. hopped my butt down the stairs. called Lisa said IM LOSING MY MIND I'm coming over on we going riding.. took off one brace but my left leg I couldn't I could get it back far enough to push gears down but NO way could i pull em up when i was speeding back up.. I knew I could straight clutch it most of times but I tied a Dang string to it. pulled it around my handlebar kept it in my hand and when I needed to change gears pulled string and changed them.. It felt so good to take off on my bike again.
Anyway long moral of my Ranting story is.. PPL go down.. but its whether YOU get back on or not is what makes us different.. Some of my friends that have had wrecks never touch one again, or once and they realize they are too scared to be confident in riding and are a danger to themselves.. Then, ME, Lisa, and a lot of others. Are laying in ER asking if our bikes are ok.. I got slapped in ER cause they told me guys on scene said bike flipped completely and landed on my knees but believe it or not, I rode it home only bent handle bars, clutch, broke a some cosmetic stuff etc.
