Yes he is :P

Just kidding outlaw, and i do feel for the pain that you are having since your accident. I have lost 4 good friends to bike accidents in the last 20 yrs. and that's one of the reasons that i donot like bikes. I've never riden bikes on the street but have desart raced and rode trials for a couple yrs. it was a great challenge and something i'll remember for the rest of my life, but i'll never get on a street bike.

With the advent of cell phones and texting, cagers are even MORE oblivious to their surroundings. THAT is why I don't ride anymore. MY LIFE is in THEIR hands not the other way around. Even out on lonely country roads they can whack ya and not even blink an eye.
I haven't had an accident on the street in all my 44 years of driving because I practice 'spacial awareness'. Some close calls though when I was doing really stupid stuff in my youth ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops: ops:

Outlaw,
I too always have my second thought every time I swing my leg over the seat, especially when I have the wife on the back. I have been on motorcycles since I was 9 years old (Honda XR75). My uncle was president of the local chapter of Grim Reapers MC when I was young. He was ran over by a semi and paralyzed on his left side. His brothers built him a automatic trike with all right hand controls, a glove with a hook on his left hand and he rode for years that way. His paralysis mysteriously started going way 10 years later and he saw God. Now he's a minister of a church (yes, robsbird, my uncle is a minister). My stepdad was hit by a cra, still limps to this day. A close friend was killed by a drunk driver on his bike right after we graduated high school. The total count is about 4 riding buddies gone, some caused by thier own stupidity, some not. 3 other fiends with permanent scars both physical and mental. I cant ride as much as a I used to but I still get a big grin when I fire up that 97" S&S motor, the wife climbs on and we take a long ride out in the country. The idiots are out there but I have never laid down a street bike and guess that makes me real lucky. My concern would be her first. Until the day she's says no we just keep going. Who knows that may change in time. If I do die on my bike, I will at least die doing something I love...

Outlaw, we are just glad that your awnry-ass lived through your accident. I think you are a survivor... keep digging brutha.

I hear you guys talk about being guy-shy on bikes... man, I have not ridden in awhile... just an occasional spin on the old mans Harley. Even dirt bikes now days... I have backed off alot. I still have a 450R that sits & has bad gas in it. I think being a father has changed me some... I don't know.

Tod7-fo': Yeah... what is up with ZZtop dudes on Harleys & Hot chicks?? Man, I need to get some tatoo's & a chopper.

I used to have a little crotch rocket when I was 20 years old.It was a Honda CBR...It was only a 600cc but it had a Yoshimura pipe and jet kit and the sprocket had been changed... That thing didn't even start pulling hard until 6500 rpm...tach red lined at 13,500. Back then I never really contemplated what would have happened if a rod would have kicked out the side of the block at 135 mph. :? That was my first and only bike.
It's a miracle I lived . :lol:

Those were the days.
