I have a good friend that had a motorcycle accident
last October...He was pulling a trailer behind his Harley
Davidson and the weight in the trailer pushed him through
a curve and off the road. The bike & trailer rolled over
twice and my friend, Rick, suffered two broken vertebrae
in his neck and three in his back. It sounds crass now but
at the time we were relieved that was the extent of his
injuries. The doctors said his injuries were within an inch
of killing him.
I always thought I was a die-hard Harley-Davidson fan,
but Rick was not out of his neck brace and the back
support when he bought a brand new 2009 Harley Ultra-
Classic. The old bike was written off as a total loss. Rick
had a couple of surgeries but as of this writing he is in
good shape and has returned to work. He is one of the
crew that makes the annual trip to Fredericksburg that
I wrote about in an earlier blog entry. Thanks to his hard
headedness, and a little devine intervention, he has returned
to riding and loves his new Harley...
