Long story short, last July I left work, woke up in the hospital, and found out I'd been going straight through an intersection when a lady waiting to make a left turn decided she'd waited long enough to make her left turn. It's why I've been AWOL for a while.

I've spent the last seven months living with my parents while I recover, and as of yesterday, I've reached my primary goal: a Harley-Davidson FXDL. That first ride was one of the most satisfying moments of my life; I hate to toot my own horn here, but I'm pretty proud of myself considering they were afraid I wouldn't be able to walk.

Beautiful bike Dean. So glad to hear you survived and are able to ride again. I had wondered about you. So many folks join, are really active for a while then just kind of disappear. We don't normally find out what happened to them. Take care of yourself out there.

 

[JustOneDean]

After this, I absolutely will, thanks!

And I'm sorry I disappeared like that. I did have Internet access, but I had enough on my plate that that went on the backburner for a while.

Good for you Dean!!! Glad to hear you're getting "Back in the Saddle"! And that is a sweet looking ride Bro!!! Hope to hear more outta you Dude!!

 

[OldDeadeye]

I have no idea what song you're talking about, but dam^ nice bike there. It's awesome you recovered and good to see you back in the saddle.

Groovy bike! I can think of at least two Aerosmith songs that could apply. Back in the Saddle and Amazing.

I'm glad you survived!

I'm also proud to see you have the grapefruits to get beck on a bike. For some people it isn't easy after a wreck like that. Welcome back, man!

And that's a sharp ride! Looking at it I'm more thinking of this song:

Glad you're back Dean!

 

[Jo6pak]

I thought he meant "On the road again"

 

[JustOneDean]

Thanks, guys! I can't describe the feeling of taking that first ride.

And Eye, believe it or not, that song was playing on TV the first time I turned the tube on after I signed the papers.

Glad you made it Dean,I wasn't sure if I would be able to get back on after my terrible crash also.After a year of healing up I finally was able to get my Dyna and have been diggin it ever since,it's in your blood bro,be safe!

 

[JustOneDean]

Thanks, you too! You know, it's funny, when I got back from the test ride, I told everyone it was the wind getting into my helmet and past my glasses. It had nothing to do with wind, and that's all I'm gonna say about that, heh.

Glad you're back in the saddle. Best of luck with your new Harley.
