2008 tour
i was lying in the hospital bed, totally drugged up. i still have no memory of these events. my son who sat faithfully beside me would break up the boredom by informing me of my situation. he would start by telling me if I remembered that new triumph shirt i just bought. I would respond with a yes and then he told me how they had to cut it off and i would moan 'oh nooo, not my new shirt'
my son would wait a few minutes and then would begin asking me about my new leathers? and i would respond" oh noooo, not my leathers"
Then he would begin again about asking me about my bike[2012 rocket roadster] dad , do remember what happened to the bike? YA DAD , IT BURNED UP. NOTHING LEFT, NOT EVEN THE RUBBER ON THE TIRES." Oh noooo, not my bike." The good news is that God is Good and I'm still here. It'll be a long recovery [7 broken ribs, 2 crushed vertabre, screws and pins in my back]

So be carefull and thanks for the forum, I'll have to do my riding through you for a while
 
That sucks man. Hope you recover quickly. What happened?
 
So sorry to hear....Speedy recovery and hope you are able to get back in the saddle soon!!
 
Cliff, I'm sorry to hear you have been seriously injured. Thankfully, you are still with us. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Tom
 
Sorry to hear about your accident...hope you mend well and fast.
 
Oh crap that is not good news, speedy recovery, glad to see you still have your spirit with you and I sympathise with you on the cutting the gear off that sucks I had it done once too but after I was well enough to see the gear I at least knew it had done its job well and even if they had not cut it I still would not have been able to use it as it was trashed but that why we wear it .... Not to look pretty
 
****, that sure sucks..but at least you're still here to tell us about it..heal well my friend, and don't worry bout the bike..they make new ones every day..all the best to ya..
