| I bought my Harley Dyna Super Glide back at the very end of July 2008. I rode it pretty consistently back and forth from work since about September without incident, taken it on a few dates with Nickey, and one long local trip about a month ago. I’ve never even dropped it. How quickly things changed…. Two weeks ago from tomorrow (Friday) I was in an accident that ended up totaling the motorcycle. A car pulled out in front of me and stopped while I was going about 40 mph. I had pictured this scenario many times in my head, and it never ended well. Broken bones, bad road rash, major destruction. Somehow none of that really happened. I slammed on the brakes, the bike dropped on the left side and slid into the front of the car that was blocking my path. I landed on my left elbow and put a hole in it about the size of a quarter surrounded by road rash, sprained my ankle pretty bad, bruised my ribs and scuffed up my knees. I’m still amazed that it wasn’t worse. I really miss my bike and can’t wait to get back on one. I have a brand new denim black Street Bob on the way that is expected to arrive on the 20th, but I won’t be able to pick it up until my claim is fulfilled with Harley financing. Hopefully that will be done by early next week. I’m going to have to wait a few days after I can pick it up because I’m going to have some upgrades done on it before it leaves the dealership.
