Bikes are dangerous as fuck. I have owned 4 in my lifetime and still have 1. I Love riding but every season there is at least 1 close call that makes me wonder if I should sell the god damn thing. They say it's not if you will crash but when and how bad.

Glad you came out okay Joe!

I hit a deer on my Harley a few years ago, 6 broken ribs , 2 fractured ankles, lived to tell the tale

Thankyou guys for all the heart warming messages. Couple of responses really got to me. Evil Chris asked how will this change me.. Well Im not a religious man, but I do have a bit more belief we are watched over in some way. I will continue to ride my bike. I may be a bit cautious my 1st few days but I think what saved me was all my years of riding as it was happening I didn't panic and just rolled with it. Still I was very lucky and Im very appreciative of all my friends a lot more. I miss a lot of you guys. ALos I wasn't wearing leather I was wearing jeans and a padded wind breaker jacket with gloves. BTW I was going 65 not 50. Im very lucky to be here. Im very happy to help anyone here who needs assistance. Youre all my friends.

sad shit man, if I buy a honda could probably get a good deal as I have a honda car financed direct with honda, only reason I'm thinking Harley is cause I want something loud so others know I'm around, realize I could probably change the pipes on the honda but don't really wanna get into modifying something that's brand new, still debating the whole thing in general, fastest I could probably go in the city is 40-45 as traffic blows.

Trust me, being more cautious doesn't help

Been riding 6 years now, had 2 bad accidents - neither of them avoidable..
Have titanium plates in both collar bones, pain in my hip a year later, a pinky finger that doesn't bend properly....
I should really sell mine too...

Those that say bikes are too dangerous just do not understand. We that ride have been injured, maimed and had friends that were killed. Not for a minute does the idea of giving up riding come into play.

That is just the way it is.

What he said

nico-t · 04-11-2013, 04:58 AM

You're very lucky.
Know someone who crashed at 20-30 mph, flew over a car because of a stupid whore who was turning in the middle of the road.
Result: intensive care, even though wearing a helmet face fucked up, cant think fast anymore, reconstructive surgery about 2 years later still, depressed, unable to work a decent job: Fucked up his life.

Very true. If we didn't do anything that might hurt us, we would just stay in bed all the time.

I come from a strong motorcycle family. Both my father and brother own Harleys. I don't own a bike. It never really took with me. My brother and I drove euduros and motocross bikes in our youth and I had a few bad spills, but it doesn't make you want to quit. We did crazy jumping stuff too. Probably not a great idea, but when you're 14 and 15 years old, you just don't think of the danger!

Thank god for happy endings.
