Made it out alive
|
|
On July 6th while on my way home a car turned left in front on me. Needless to say the car won. Me and my 3 1/2 month old 2012 Triumph America lost. I consider my self very fortunate to even be here now. I’ve been riding for over 43 years and this was my first accident. I broke my left foot, smashed up my right knee replacement pretty bad and broke my back. Over all I can’t complain. It could have been a lot worse. I won’t know for at least a year and a half if the right knee that has all ready been replaced, will have to be replaced again. But, I have ordered another 2012 Triumph America Caribbean Blue and Crystal White. All the accessories are being put on it as I write this. Hopefully it will be delivered next week. I’ve owned 8 bikes over the years, even a Harley once and a 72 Bonneville back in the day, but this new one is the nicest bike I’ve ever owned. If I knew how to include pictures on here I would. You know what they (who ever they are) say. If you fall off the horse you have to get right back on. Hopefully by mid September I’ll be riding again. Ya’ll be safe out there now.
Just found out how to add a picture. Be sure to open it.

Glad to hear you're gettin back on the horse. At least you should be good for another 43 years, and after that, who cares?

Wow, sounds bad but like you said coulda been much worse. Had my own set-to a few months ago and for a number of other reasons haven't gotten the steed back together. Starting to get the itch though.
