It must have been a sign

[flaya564]

Well, If you read most of the new topics, wednesday or thursday I dropped my bike backing it out of the garage. I had to replace my footpeg before my weekend trip (today).

Today, I rode to Annapolis (about an 1.5 hours) away from home. to get the footpeg, where my brother rode out to meet me.

On our way back to his house, about a 8th of a mile from the 895 tunnel toll, a truck hits something in the rode, my brother swerves out of the way, and I see something that looks like a bat coming right at me.

No time to do anything. This thing hits the front of my bike, nearly knocking the bars out of my hand and smacking my mirror. My brother and I pull over to assess the damage. This thing, shattered the my headlight (the one I just replaced to get it through inspection). The mirror and just got loosened.

My brother went back to pick up what ever hit me so I could take pictures of it.

IT WAS A FUCKING 6 FOOT STEEL PRY BAR!!!

Besides being pissed about the damage, I realized how lucky I am to be alive and for not getting knocked off my bike. (Riding for roughly 2 months)

I will post pictures when I get back home.

This bike is going to bleed me dry.

Oh, and when I was at the harley store, a man in line said "you know what HD stands for?" Hundred dollars...fitting

Never sell it. That bike loves you. She took a pipe to the face for you. You have to keep her forever now.

Glad you're ok bro.

 

[flaya564]

LMAO!!!

Looking at it in that perspective, you're right. She's a tough broad.

 

[Sleez]

wow!

 

[Stevenc150]

Close call bro, glad you weren't part of the damage assessment. "Ride it out", it'll get better.

 

[ridendude]

That's a wicked initiation!!! Glad you're allright though. A wise man once told me 'if it has tires or tits, it'll cost you nothing but money and heartache'.
Ride on man...... it gets better.

Well that's certainly true of the tits.

 

[LeFox]

got the plate of the truck?

his insurance should cover your damage...maybe even some emotional damage too

 

[SemperFi9S]

That stinks about your bike, but better her than you! Glad you're okay I second MickD's statement...she took a crowbar to the face for you~ She's a keeper!

[jeep mechx]

Glad to hear you're OK. That's one wicked accident. Hope you can get the bike back together.

 

[MickD]

Holy shit, that's insane! You were very lucky.

You should weld that to the side of your bike.

 

[TechMagic]

well looks like bar-ends for you now, and there's a headlight assembly on ebay item # 380126679785 bidding starts at $40. I've just been riding a while now too but haven't had any "initiations" (knock on wood) glad to hear you're all right

 

[flaya564]

Could you imagine it, no one would dare cut me off.

 

[LionBuell]

flaya you are soooo lucky. Don`t dare selling the yellow beauty. She will pay you back in some way.[up]

 

[Midnight82]

Dang!!! that's one hell of a prybar!!

You should go buy some lotery tickets, with all your luck and all.

I know a guy that took a piece of metal kicked up by a truck to the leg. It was impaled and got infected. It was fully haggard.

Be safe dude.

 

[tasha1329]

As one of few girls on the forum I probably should take offence to Chase12s......but I'd have to agree....lol
Sorry to hear about the damage. Stick it out. Its worth it in the end.
Ride safe.

 

[flaya564]

Thanks for all the well wishes. You people make a man feel loved, I appreciate it. As for my bike, I put the old assembly back on (the previous owner melted the low beam lense) so now she's got glaucoma in one eye. At least she can see. I should be getting the 1125cr headlight assembly soon, so I'm going to hold off on buy another one for the moment.

I definitely need to give a name worthy of her strength.

Oh, and welcome Tasha1329, you'll like it here.

 

[architech]

That's crazy! I was going to say....pretty ironic that you had ordered up the CR hl assembly. Glad to hear your ok.

 

[Five1]

I have one of those digging irons. They are no joke.. Very heavy! Glad you're ok!
