That it did! lol Last time i saw her was when i was being loaded into the ambulance. I was out of state when I had the accident, so I never got to see it. Had some friend pick up my belongings from the salvage yard and mailed them to me. I would love to ride again and may someday, but i promised the wife and kids i wouldn't. Just glad I'm still on this side of the dirt. The Elio is my "motorcycle" compromise with the wife. :)

Wow, totaled so bad it was just written off?, they totaled my dads bike, I was able to fix it for about $400, the guy at the impound yard told him it was wasted with no hope of repair and he'd be glad to dispose of it (yea right, he wanted it).

Yep. I live in Texas and wrecked in North Carolina. After 2 weeks in the hospital and several surgeries myself, I flew home never to see the bike again. Progressive sent someone to look at it at the salvage yard and had an agent drive to my house a week after i got home to write me a check for Blue Book value (which was more than i paid for it). They also wrote me a check for my boots and helmet sight unseen and with no receipts.

Well at least that was a plus, now just deduct pain and suffering... 2 weeks in hospital, guess you did a number on yourslef..

Riding in the Spring.jpg


This was my bike parked at work 2 years ago today. Now, I don't live in Minot, ND anymore so spring isn't quite so rough. Anyway, I'm adding Kuryakyn Engine guards this weekend. I'll take a new picture. I ride year round though not nearly as much in the winter months. Yes, even in Minot, ND. I'll admit that the 2 years I had my bike in Minot, there were 2 months where the snow and ice didn't clear from the road enough to make it safe. So, for those 2 months, I didn't ride.

Heading to Chicago next week on the bike, May will be TN-NC boarder for two weeks.
Had them out for a while now but weather has been a hit and miss with some snow.
