Some old pics of my ill fated Zong.

FastDoc · 03-01-2011, 06:53 PM

I just came across these in an old computer file and I don't know if I've shared them with you yet. These pics just document the fairly minimal damage my Zong incurred after our crash 15 months ago.

May I ask Doc what transpired? Crash? Hopefully you didn't get hurt?

I remember when you shared those photos after the crash. Specifically, you shared the pics when you put the bike up for sale. I wanted to jump on it, but it's not on Transport Canada's approved list. :(

I was hit from behind on the highway by a girl on her cellphone. I had a few injuries, broken and dislocated fingers mostly, but I'm fine now.

I didn't remember if I posted them. Do you remember that the guy I sold it to wrecked it riding home from my house and broke his arm? 8O

Yep. You figured that the bike was posessed. I still want it.

Glad to hear that all is good Doc. - I recently ordered a couple things for my bike, and in the Package was a bumper sticker that said:

"Want to meet God?" Keep Texting! - I Gave up owning a Cell phone a couple years ago - Simple fact was I did with out them years ago - Why dod I really need one - I don't - I will say this. I own a Trac Phone for emergency purposes only - thats it. It is amazing how these little devices, Just like Computers which have become so much part of our daily lives.

I Did also just buy some NEW Mirrors for the "Q" that will allow alittle better rear view for me so I can hopefully see whats coming.

Best wishes Doc and Ride Safe.

Andrew

My biggest safety tip.

DORK VEST. :P

I wear one all the time after dark while riding since the accident. It may be a good idea during the day too, but I only use it during the day if its foggy.

katoranger · 03-02-2011, 08:51 PM

I got a dork vest too.

Weldangrind · 03-03-2011, 01:24 AM

I haven't had a street bike for awhile, but I have a reflective vest for any kids that want to come trail riding with us. They'd never wear it if I called it a dork vest.

Holy crap! hit from behind and thats all that happed! Nice save! what speed did it happen at?

Weldangrind · 03-03-2011, 11:37 AM

Doc will confirm, but I think he was maxxed out at around 60mph, and had no speed left to accelerate away from trouble. That's why Doc wisely guides us to secondary roads with our small engined bikes.

I was going about 60-65. She was going much faster.
