sooner or later it was bound to happen

[DaveHawk]

About 10 days ago I went to a friends 60th BD party. It was in an area I never been to.
@ 9 pm it was time for me to head home and get some sleep for turkey hunting in the morning. Walked out of the club located on A back country rd. Drove down the driveway and I thought I was turning onto the main street leading out. I wasn't. I was doing about 20 mph on new blacktop when I came up on a unmarked "T" section in the road. So basically all I can remember is oh crap turn ! I turned and hit the front break. Now if I had not laid the bike down on the otherside of the road was about a a 30' drop off.
So a panel truck came by the driver started yelling at me to lay still and don't move. Ambulance showed up, half the people from the party showed up. No neck problems, helmet had no cracks so a medivac ride to Baltimore was not nessary. By 945 I was in the ER, exrayed all the other good stuff done. I was in extreme pain with 2 broken ribs in the back. By 230 am wife and I were heading home. Now its been a little over a week, pain has fallen off by 50% so I decided to
Visit East Side chop shop and meet Bobby the owner and I really like the guy. He will be repairing/restoring my bike plus putting a new paint job on the bike. Cadillac's new Black Diamond. If you have not seen the color , next time you see the new black caddy take a look , it's cool !
Got about 3 till it's ready. This is a good thing... I meed to heal.

Welcome to the brotherhood of guys who have dumped their bikes There's an old saying about riders....there's 2 types of riders on the road...those who HAVE dumped their bikes...and those that WILL sooner or later. Glad to hear you're ok

 

[DaveHawk]

Wow Dave. Glad to hear all is well! JC's pic has the exact neck brace i currently wear.

Thank God your all good and off to showcase your fantastic art!

The bike statement is etchex in stone! Was a rider of long ago (not too long for some grandparents here ) long ago for myself I played the rice rockets... matured to a sexy fat boy ... wrecked a couple of the crotchers, sold my fatty before I for dumped her. Lucky nothing serious as your incident.

Again glad to hear your all good and your baby is getting a clean blk caddy revamp!

Go knock em dead with your art!

 

[DaveHawk]

Besides the art work every morning this week I wake up and think about getting out to hunt a bird. But more then a second of thought I'm back on the pillow thinking this feels much better. I am biting at the bit for my 2nd bird I hope I can make it happen before the end.
But the upcoming show is taking the bit out of all the pain and lack of hunting ...just a bit LOL
