Blairgowrie Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Had a short pm from Foto this am. He is off work for a few weeks and has a caste but he says nothing serious. Afraid he was a bit short on detail but I am sure he will lots of time to fly with us now and we can ask then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreyKnight Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Phew, that's good to hear he's okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonar Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yup, glad to hear he is fine. Motorcycles are fun, but you can't win against gravity or 1 ton of metal. when I was in phoenix, the life expectency of a motorcycle operator was 2 weeks. my friend made it 1 week and 1 month in the hospital. if he lasted 2 weeks he might be dead.

Highlander Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Get well Foto, and get rid of that thing. It is the rule of gross tonage, if they are that mush bigger than you ,your going to lose every time. I have lost 1 brother and had my other brother in critical condition from motorcycle accidents, so I am very anti bikes. I truly hope you are OK Foto and pray for your speedy recovery.

Enforcer57 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I love riding my scooter, which i do everyday as my general transportation,and i intend on getting a much bigger one someday.....90 mpg kinda influences me on that to. Gotta drive like you expect these people to kill you. At any rate, I'm glad our attrition rate wasn't added to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hi all, the details: Had just come out of a junction and a driver (you can guess the sex if you like) who was parked in a lay-by and facing in the same direction as I was travelling, decided to perform a U-turn just as I was arriving. I had one of two choices; either run into her or try to avoid her (Ooops! did I say it was a woman?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer57 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yeah, I've been nearly whacked more times than i can count on my scooter by.....................dingbats. Was she hot? If she was, she can make up for it. If not, she should bring whatever friend, daughter, sister, etc that is hot to be offered to placate you.

Crash Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I haven't trusted myself on a motorcycle for a long time. I realized that I could not get away with being a loony for much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
