Back to work on the touring

[BillWilliams]

For those that track my 'blog' and knew about my youngest son's motorcyle accident, thanks for the concern. We have him home now so I can get back to work on the touring.

The pics below are not for the faint of heart. This is what happens when a non-driver pulls in front of a 20 year old on a Buell Lightening going 40 miles an hour.

Bill, Wow - I didn't catch that on your blog page. Sorry to hear about the accident - I'm glad he's okay and out of the hospital.

Geezus Bill!

I just heard about this from Jonathan Maxson yesterday.....I'm glad he's coming through alright - though his future as a showgirl might suffer a bit.

....like you don't have enough stress already - right?

Sorry I've been outta the loop FAQ-wise!

Paul Wegweiser (yearns for a toaster tank BMW bike....but knows he'd only assemble it in his living room and clean it).

WOW!

Count your lucky stars.

I now know I was far more fortunate in my accident.

There is something to be said for fenders.

Glad to hear he is back home.

Yucky! Lucky! Good to hear he is on the foot path (might be a bit safer on the footpath rather than road!) to recovery...

Wish him all our best and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Someone please buy my 71 Triumph 650!

Glad he's going to be ok. I was very worried.

He'll be back helping you with the Touring in a few days I'm sure...and he will heal real fast!...helping Dad...best therapy there is - working together!

Blessings,

John

non-weight baring. Then therapy after that.

Bill, glad he is going to be ok. Reminds those of us who also like two wheels that you have to be vigilant out there. Hope the Touring is coming along nicely as well....

Yikes, scray photos, Bill. Glad he's OK.

Just a question, what was he wearing? By the looks of his injuries, not very much, and certainly not any armour. Will you guys be shopping for proper motorcycle attire before he hops back on?

ps - I lived through a BAD motorcycle crash which resulted in wrist/forearm surgery, but not a lot else. I was wearing full leathers, as I always do(did) when riding. If it wasn't for the right gear, I would have been a lot worse off.

wears kevlar pants and a riding jacket. Our new stuff is on order tomorrow

That halted my want for a motorbike! Hopfully for the best :-)

I wish him a very speedy recovery!
