    I doubt anyone missed me, but I was in a near death motorcycle accident early September. Have recovered well, was pretty broken, but on the mend very well. Hope everyone has been well, and I look forward to getting back in the mix.

    New member here I have no idea who you are, or why you may think no one missed you. I was a motorcycle mechanic and shop owner for 25 years. I've seen my share of accidents and lost a few good friends and customers along the way. Glad to hear you are healing up and heading in the right direction. And thank you for your service.

    Glad you survived brother! I loved riding bikes in my younger days but just could not accept the risk once I got married and had kids. You know all too well that they are very unforgiving when someone makes a mistake!

    PS: Sounds like God has something planned for you before you check out!

    Glad to hear you pulled through. Thinking of selling my bike this season for that exact reason...

    Thankful for those great doctors, nurses, and medicine we have that kept you afloat.

    Glad you are making the comeback. I took up riding in my early 50's and loved it. Would love to ride again but
    there are too many idiots on the road.

    Glad to hear you made it. A buddy of mine almost died some years back while out on a ride with his R1. Construction crew left a patch of debris in the fast lane out on the highway. He saw it too late and lost control.

    Glad your ok! I had a close call on my ninja 3 years ago due to me being old and injured. Sold the bike and got a Can Am because I lost my nerve on 2 wheelers after riding for 40 years. Found out 3 wheelers are no safer but at least I don't worry about low or high siding. Hope ya heal all the way man!
