well, I have been off rides for awhile.

I have totalled 2 bikes in my earlier days. Both of those were the same motorcycle. Without going into detail, It took 2 and a half months to restore my first motorcycle with a new frame. Then 6 days later I totalled it again, I didnt ride another motorcycle until just a few years ago. Trucking kinda kept me busy from that pasttime. Both wrecks were the result of unattentive automobile drivers. One was at an intersection and the other guy was in a hurry. The other was just before a light and the other guy was waved thru the traffic with me on the other side riding thru....baaaam! Popped out both his headlights, buckled his hood, burned the buttons off my helmet from asphalt. Luckily I believe in leather jackets and leather gloves when i ride.
