hi guys...thanks for the good wishes...did something
really stupid...only been riding around 4 years...
one of my highway pegs fell off and i decided to make
a quick stop to retrieve it...first mistake...was going
about 55 and hit the brakes...but because of traffic
behind me I moved over to the gravel too soon...probably
20 or so...and hit the deck right away...but since I'm
a fairly aggressive skiier...I know how to fall...did a
little tuck and dropped on my left side...pretty
sore ribs and back but reasonably happy with the minor
injuries. My Suzuki Volusia suffered a cracked front
fender...many scrapes on the windshield...broken left
mirror...and bent shifter. But I'm a tough tiki..
i got back on and rode the last 22 miles home.
thanks again. will get back to carving later in the
week.
