I'll take this opportunity to thank all of the members who do not necessarily have the same beliefs as Doc, Spud and I. It's very kind of you to not blaze someone for his beliefs in a public forum. That said, I certainly respect your right to your beliefs, whatever they may be. Cheers!

I decided to stop street riding this summer because of the high risk area I am in. Too many distracted drivers with poor training. The lifan having some issues really sealed the deal.
Its great that you were able to witness while be worked on. Will add you to my prayer list too. Allen

Fastdoc, sorry to hear this news, but glad your gonna be ok. I know your a Doctor, but my advice to you is take it easy and don't over do it with getting back on the bike. I wish you a speedy recovery. Get well, Lego.

Hey Doc,
W&G told me about this today as I don't lurk in this section of the forum much. My thoughts with you in your recovery and safe riding in the future! Scary story with a 'happy' ending, considering the alternative. I'll still stick with dirt, trees don't run up behind you and thump you from behind like this ignoramous did to you... but respect your choice to get back in the saddle and do what you love! Take care of yourself. -TT |

I'm very new here but this caught me by suprise since you had been giving me a lot of advice in another thread. I hope you mend well and quickly.

Thanks for all the prayers and good wishes, guys. It does help.
Yesterday I was hurting bad, but today seems a little better. I hope I'm turning the corner. Drove the pickup to church today. It's not quite PTSD but it seems everyone out there is driving like an idiot and I was glad to be in a 4,000 plus pound 4X4 Ford.

Things could have turned out much worse it sounds. Glad you are feeling better and wish a speedy recovery for you.

8O 8O That is crazy Doc, glad you are OK! ! I haven't been on since Thursday and come back to this 8O!! Cant believe that happened, but it was all definitely her fault, watch out for those crazy teenage driver's !! Sucks the bike was wrecked, it was a beautiful bike, but more importantly you are ok. At those speeds on a car/bike collision, you are a lucky man, must have had your guardian angle with you that night.

Hey FastDoc!
Glad you are well and able to type somehow! 8O That just sucks about the girl running into you. So happy to hear that you're relatively unscathed. I rode my KLR650 back from a 800 mile adventure ride and had to get on a similar freeway. Not having enough acceleration on the KLR to get away or out-brake something like this happening made me leary of dual sport bikes. I got the SV650 now and know that I'd be at redline/every gear until comfortably miles ahead of this dumb girl. I've still got my Kazuma and will keep it but will remain leary of interstates as your example proves. I really never thought about a drowsy/inattentive motorists rear-ending me until now. I will keep the SV now to avoid the next inattentive driver. I hope you heal right up and get comfortable riding again. :!: |
