Took a dive in 1989. Two weeks in a coma, 3 months in two different hospitals. My riding days were over in the blink of an eye.

Be careful, Be Very Careful

Thanks Plug, I did get back on the horse for a VERY short putt 7 years later just so I could say that I did. However my balance could not keep The Harley going forward. So instead of taking the chance of wrecking again I don't ride.

It's all good Plug

Who's to say what worse things may have happened if I would have stayed on the path I was walking back then.

Riding in a pack can be dangerous to your health also.

Wait a minute, It said motorcycles, not crotch rockets, lmao...
Just kidding.


I'm in the process of gathering parts for an old trumpet, thinking of turning it into a rat bike, my idea is since I'm into leather, put my leather art on the tank and other places, may even turn the seat into a saddle.
