Title: My brother again
Post by: Ed Miller on March 05, 2009, 10:40:03 AM

At least this time it sounds like it wasn't his fault, but it hurts anyway.

He bought that bike last June and has put over 8,000 miles on it since then.  I wonder what kind of grief his wife is going to give him; she doesn't like motorcycles anyway.

One of the worst kinds of accident - the perp gets away without a scratch.  

I sometimes think that when someone pulls out on me - they will get the full force of my bike in their driver's door - if I get the chance - why should I be the only one to be injured.

Not that I will have any time to think about it.

This article is sure going around fast!  I've gotten it from someone else already too.   ;D  

But then, we've already known this, right?   ;)  

Ed, so sorry to hear about your brother's accident.   #%*(#$%& cages anyway.   >:(

I hadn't seen that, thanks.

Hopefully she won't conclude that it's just not working!   ;D
