[Flightdeck]

Funny! I kept thinking - oh this is going to hurt! Then I flew a few feet and bounced up thinking - that didn't hurt so bad! That was 3 months ago - my wrist is still healing! Took a while for the shock to wear off and the pain to start. It also took a months for my nuts to get over being purple from the dent it left in the tank!
I could have gone around it, if it hadn't been for a car coming the other way at just the wrong moment! You only pass 1 car every 5 mins on that mountain road and that car timed it just right to take away my exit path. So I hit at about 35mph and came to a very sudden stop! I was amazed that despite the damage to everything - I rode it down off the mountain - handle bars pointing left, wheel pointing right, tank leaking, blinkers hanging down by the wires! If was some experience for sure!! I have since ridden the Harley past that point of impact and gotten weird feelings looking at that boulder on the side of the road. Almost wanted to go up with my truck and pick it up and bring it home as a constant reminder of the hidden dangers of riding and to be on the constant lookout for unexpected hazards - not all come from cars!
