October was an interesting month...

[alien]

Kinda lumped everything all together, so I didn't know where I should post this.
I hope this is alright. Mods, please move if necessary.


Well, I went on the coldest, most wet ride ever. And, not in a good way.
Still had fun, though.



Then, I received my new(ish) saddlebags. Big thanks to frosti108.



2 days after I test fit the bags, some guy makes a left turn in front of me. No signal, no looking...
I ended up breaking both my right wrist and left forearm and my left foot swelled up like a balloon!

I guess the bad luck had to balance out the good

Anyways, bike is totalled but I'm still alive

Already had a sushi celebration when I got my right cast off last Monday.
As soon as the left comes off and physical therapy is done, I'll be parting what's left of my bike.
Just a heads up for people looking for parts. And if you're close by, feel free to drop by
and pick something you might need from my bike. I wouldn't mind the company.

PS- KatRiders kicks so much arse it should be illegal... wait... no it shouldn't.
But it does rule

Glad that you're ok. So are you getting another bike?

[yngveny]

Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you heal up fast.

[jday240]

Glad you are no worse for wear...get well soon and back in the saddle. No better way to celebrate bein' alive than sushi and hibachi at a good place.

Glad to hear you're well on your way to recovery and there doesn't sound to be any permanent issues other than the bike. Musta sucked being casted on both arms, you gotta have an understanding wifee or gf, feeding is one thing, but what about everything else.

Glad you're okay!

[yellow_kitty_kat]

Hope you are doing OK.

[katanawarrior]

That sucks man, I wish you the best and I hope you end up with a new bike!

[JIB]

Sorry to hear about the crash, but glad to hear you're OK. Go out and get a new bike. It is possible to ride with a cast.

[JasonChen]

[whitecl0ver]

Look on the bright side....some to start shopping for a new bike

[HexKrak]

Wishing you a speedy recovery and good luck finding a new ride.
I hope you had good insurance

[gobigorange189]

wow good to hear that you are still alive!!

[alien]

Thanks everyone for the kind words..

Glad that you're ok. So are you getting another bike?

The nurse asked me the same question and I guess she expected a "no"...
Boy did I surprise her.

Ya, my fiancee is a definite keeper. She doesn't even mind if I get another bike. Probably cuz I don't
ride like an idiot. I think I'm gonna hold out till after the wedding next year before I get back on the
horse... unless I find a deal I just can't pass up

I don't think that'd be such a good idea. One cast, maybe... but two???

Ouch, glad you're all right!
