Lucky Dog

I went into town this afternoon on my R90/6 to mail a birthday card to my daughter Anna who is in Barcelona, Spain. As I was just going through an intersection, a car pulled in front of me making a left turn and I hit him on the front bumper and went sailing over the car and landed in the road about 50 ft away. That big black dog is dead. Fortunately this Lucky Dog is pretty much OK other than a few hurting spots. I did go to the hospital and they took some x-rays of my right wrist but those big Norwegian bones are OK.

The crash somehow ripped the crotch out of my pants and I was unaware of that while lying out there in the road while waiting for the ambulance and cops. There are many people in this town that now know I do not wear underwear!!! You may notice that the handle bars now point forward. Fortunately nothing was ripped off this dog when I did that.

I had just got back from Bob’s Motor Werks summer solstice party and was going to head down to Nevada and roads south of here tomorrow. I guess I will have to put that trip on hold for a few days until I heal up some.

 

I was wearing my helmet and riding coat and fortunately those items protected me just fine. Looking back I really should have been wearing my riding pants, which would have kept my lack of underwear from becoming public knowledge.

 

Ride 25 thousand miles in and over some of the most dangerous roads and traffic and get nailed just downtown at 25mph!!!
