My son picked up his bike at the dealer yesterday after having new tires installed, and laid it down on the way home. I’m sure it was a combination of cool temps and new tires.
The good news is he is OK. He had some very minor bleeding in his brain and a hairline fracture of his right wrist. He said the bike isn’t hurt too awful bad. They kept him over night in the hospital for observation. They did several CT scans of his head to make sure there wasn’t any bad injury to his brain. He is now home, as he puts it, with a cast on his wrist and a bump on the head.
He doesn’t remember much about the accident. When he woke up, he was in the hospital talking to a cop. The cop, who was a real dick, gave him a ticket for failure to control. What is surprising, the cop is a biker. What a putz.
Good thing was he had a good full face helmet on and a leather riding jacket with sewn in Kevlar panels.
Thankfully, he is home and in good spirits. His wife has hinted she would like him to sell the bike, but I don’t think that is going to happen.
