Got driven off the road by a panel truck on a country road I drive all the time. Moved a 2,000 lb boulder 20 inches at least. Sailed 20 feet and walked in with the bike. Everyone at Harley of Dallas wanted to see the bike - usually folks in this kind of accident don't walk in to talk about it. Totaled.

Wow! Glad you're alright! With that kind of luck you should buy a Lotto ticket ASAP!!

Last year on my way to my 1K service a truck came into my lane on purpose - the guy was laughing!

Hope you're fixed up and back on the road soon. :bikerguy:
