      Does your wife do motorcycle seats?

      2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        I met an old boy on the road a year or so back. Was pushing 80 I'd say. Said he'd worked his way up from 50s to 70s and now he was confident enough to handle the 250 all year round. Said many had come to grief on 350s as they were too powerful on ice. Anyway the pillion end of his seat was cut down and sealed up with tape.
        Said he tried to swing the leg over one day and it caught, toppling the bike and him caught under it. A young mother with two small children lifted the bike off him.
        Down he went to the shop for a fix and they cut the seat down for him.
        Then he confided all conspiratorial like, you know they don't charge me for servicing and stuff. They just say pay it off when you can and I drop them the occasional fiver. Don't tell anyone though, they mightn't want it known they were a soft touch.

          They're probably afraid of being prosecuted.

          If I'm not on my bike, it's on the stand. Sounds like the old man was doing it wrong. Lifting it off the stand, then retracting the stand, all while standing next to the bike? I wouldn't advise that.

            POSITIVE !!! Keep the focus on you Trev ! 2 years ago my co worker had a car accident on his way to work. 3 months in hospital. Another 3 inpatient rehab. Hes back at work about 50%. Its a tough up hill road back. I give him a daily affirmation at the end of every day.

            What the story on the DBag that hit you ?

              I am very glad you are doing better Trevor even if it is slow going. And I'll parrot BonanzaDave - what's the latest story with the guy who hit you?

                Thank you to you both...I can’t tell you how much it means to me to get the support here.. and I know I can be a real a hole sometimes...
                the db that hit me as far as I know still does not know that there is video. The cops want him to bury himself. The last thing I heard was the cops asked him to come back to the station for a statement and he said “talk to my lawyer”... The Crown here will go after him... his wife has recanted her story... saying they “didn’t stop but neither did I” lol
                I asked the cops if they told the guy that his wife changed her story and they told me they did not because they don’t know if there may be a domestic issue there... I look forward to my day in court...if it gets that far. But with the damaging video I have, it’s very likely to be settled out of court.

                  pfffft ..... hold my beer!

                  great to hear you being on the mend.
                  it's incredible you're even contemplating throwing a leg back over a bike imo. you got more cajones than me!

                  especially after a JRA incident! (cycling term ... Just Riding Along)

                  wishing you full recovery, and a huge shoutout to your wife.

                    That brand new bike of yours needs to be ridden, along with all the rest. But they'll be patient, they'll wait for you. They know you love them. Keep on keepin' on, my friend. I'm looking forward to visiting Vancouver Island someday, so you can show me around.

                        If I lived closer, and was allowed to actually enter Canada, I’d be more than happy to keep the gas fresh in any and all of Trevors bikes.

                            Trevor,I'm glad you had a video camera as a witness.I hope you continue to heal soon so you can start riding again.
