« on: April 17, 2014, 12:08:12 AM »
Hey everybody. So long story short, I bought my baby one year ago, may 9th. May 10th I had my first motorcycle accident, breaking mg right humours into at least 19 parts, and dislocated my shoulder. So my baby sat, broken In the shop till last fall, when my arm was good enough to ride/work. Then in Oct. I was hit by a semi and broke my knee!!!! Now FINIALY I am very close to having her running, just waiting on new coils. My long term goal is a "traditional" bobber. Pics to come!

Yikes! Those are two pretty serious injuries. Be careful out there. 

Let's see some pictures of that project.

Somebody might be trying to tell you something. Wicked lucky you're alive to write these posts. Ever considered something with seat belts and air bags? Or moving to another town where the drivers are more motorcycle friendly?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
