    We are coming off of a two week, amazing vacation in the southwest. We toured the Grand Canyon, camped in and around Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. I spent 5 days shredding the mountains on my Mtn bike with a smile on my face.
    We said our goodbyes to our family yesterday and headed back to Madison, WI.
    Now for the not so perfect part.
    Driving through Pueblo Colorado, a tow truck lost the Hoover Round style of scooter in the middle of the freeway and I became the middle of a 5 car pile-up!
    Thank God we are all ok! My son walked away with a little busted lip and that was the extent of our injuries. My wife and kiddos are doing well and that is all that truly matters.
    My truck however, not so much. I do first want to say that I am so grateful and VERY impressed as to how well the Tacoma protected us. We are so very lucky and thanks to our Tacoma, we are all ok. I’m in the process of getting all my shit taken care of so any advice is most welcome. Buckle up everyone. Love you all!

    Oh man! Glad you’re safe.

    Just read this thread to my bf and his response was “how’s the bike?!” :rofl:

    Probably because we’re doing a 1.5 week trip up to Oregon and back(to AZ) next month. We’re bringing his bike so he can ride.

    Thanks!

    Bikes are much better than expected. But a couple wheels bent. I still have yet to determine if frames are bent.

    He's likely too far away from home to drag it back for a part out.
