Shit happens, if it wasn't for Bad Luck...

You need your own topic header Don, that way I can just subscribe to the "What Did Don Crash today" thread.

Don't let it get you down buddy. Maybe something with an airbag for your next ride?

 

[FredandJeannesRacer]

No ATGATT for Don, cause "it's hotter than a half fooked fox in a forest fire!"

 

[James Burleigh]

Sorry to hear about your little get-off.

Glad it was a landing you could walk away from.

No excuses! I'm ATGATT in the same >110F oven every damned day and you don't hear me bitching! (well, not much...)

 

[Redfish Hunter]

I do not think the problem lies with motorcycles or Harleys. (Not to imply that Harleys are not motorcycles!)

I just do not think a trike with a skinny front tire is going to respond to the reflex actions of an experienced motorcyclist like Don. I am certain that after decades of riding all sorts of motorcycles and all different brands on all different surfaces Don's "instincts" are well honed. I am betting the trike requires some different inputs and is not as "safe". They always look awkward as hell to me.

At least with the Can-Am it is a purpose built chassis, designed from the beginning to function with three wheels. Not so with a triked out HD.

For shit sakes Don .... really! At least you can laugh (cry) about it. Get in the pool dammit!

Perhaps part of the problem was going from 2-wheels to 3-wheels... one of the things I found that I had to overcome was tracking as a 2-wheeled vehicle (i.e. right or left of the center of the lane) and instead tracking more center... perhaps if you'd not ridden in "formation" (right/left) you might have avoided hitting the other bike... I'm really sorry this happened, my friend...

 

[escapefjrtist]

Glad to read you're OK Don...now knock this crashing shit off!

[SwollenRaccoon]

Mazda Miata. That's the answer.

 

[erixun]

Shit man, that sucks. No two ways about it. Glad you are ok and did not land on your 'still healing' side, though this will still leave a mark.

 

[beemerdons]

Damn Don not again,

you have to at least heal up from your first mishap

....sure glad it wasn't worse, and hope you have a complete recovery.

Thanks Petey, I got this very nice note from my AZ Beemers Friend Jodi Koller-Smee. She summed up my feelings perfectly: Yes, I want to ride! JSNS, ese!

"Don

I am so sorry to hear about your "incident" yesterday. Hang in there, Don. It's all going to work out okay in the long run, don't be discouraged. I've had my moments as well, and then I ask myself, "well, do you want to ride or not?" The answer is always "yes, I want to ride," no matter what I have to go through to do it. "Not riding" is not an option for me.

Take care, and let me know if I can do anything to help you.

Sincerely,
Jo"

Jeez, first a post whore, now an attention whore.
BTW, Mikey gives good great reach arounds JSNS.

Heal fast my friend,

Mark

Bokerfork, I had to fix it for you Brother! JSNS!

Mazda Miata. That's the answer.

Actually Swollen Raccoon, if a Roadster is in my future it would be this one! The 1990 Corvette ZR-1 owned by fellow FJR Forum Member Bearly Flying - Don of Alberta, Canuckistandia. I have always had LUST in my heart for these beauties, Hubba-Hubba! https://www.zr1netregistry.com

If you are going to be throwing around big $ buxs $ then something like this could work too. Best yet, it can come with a K1600 engine! Note the beemerdons protector roll cage..... and it comes in colors other than black.

Thank you Alan, that Campagna is a Real Beauty. I can't take my money with me when I croak, even though I heard that Niehart and Petey have a plan!

Right you are KJ, if I have el Dinero for a Campagna then Kate Upton will be alongside me: "butt nekkid", ese!

 

[wheatonFJR]

C'mon Don, no way you should be fookin smiling after that. Your AZBeemer buddies are gonna blackball you for taking out one of the Bavarian motorbikes.

Watch out for the Luger carrying buddies of yours...
