I just got copied on this post from the San Diego riders club. Makes me cringe but I tend to stay away from tight windy roads on busy Sundays.
"Antique Club had a Palomar Mountain ride yesterday. Returning from the mountain on Mesa Grande, an ape-hangared chucklehead with more chrome than skill crossed the double yellow and hit my friend Virgil on his '68 Triumph.
So far, the docs have been able to save Virg's partially severed lower left leg. He may lose it yet. Keep some good thoughts, he's in his second surgery right now.
Ratbastard dumb#$%* mofo's that can't ride/drive responsibly should be turned over to the friends/family of those that they injure. I'm pissed waaay the f* off."
