I dont recall the details. just a typical store run for smokes. I have two metal rods in my wrist and road rash all over.

my bike came away with a few scratches. and a bunch of deals i was working on all closed while i was in the hospital. i hurt vary badly. i was in john c lincoln for two weeks.

please be careful out there.

I'm just glad you're alive, and not a vegetable. Spills are no fun at all. I feel your pain (literally, most days). I have a rod and pins in me too, left leg.

You know, another way to look at it: now we're men of steel! Ride safe, my man. And watch out for those who don't.

I hope you recover, I always feel a little uncomfortable when there are a lot of cars, vehicles around me. Did you go down going around a corner? There are so many ways to lose control. Arizona is a beautiful place, I visited a friend there many years ago. I climbed that Squaw Peak what a tall mountain. Get well buddy, the time to ride is the summer as you know.(^)

Care to tell us what happened? The details of your accident might help others to avoid the same thing happening to them.
Glad you're well enough to type. Take care of yourself and keep us informed.

mt front caliper brakes are way stronger than the rear cruiser. brakes. Standard ride i had to stop quick and went flying. this bike is too fast and i gotta put a bigger sprocket on it.
im going to install rear caliper brakes where the kickstand attaches and use a rear axel kickstand.

dont take too many of those little pills they give ya. I have not ridden since this accident.

One thing I know, crashes make you a better rider. Hope you heal fast, and ride again.
