Morning all bikes and coffee a great start to a Monday.
I rode as a kid up to when I was 19. I had a heck of a wreck that I walked away from.
I had a Kawasaki 900 a drunk pulled out in front of me I was doing 40.
I hit him broadside and had enough time to push off the foot pegs and go over the car. Ripped the front fork off but I walked away without a scratch.
I tried riding again, but it just wasn't fun anymore.

I think a lot of people don't walk away w/o injury from that, you're lucky.
 
Good Morning Everyone. More snow yesterday (2-3") and then another 2+ overnight. High winds this AM made the drive in interesting. Complete white out/no visibility with all the open fields to the north. Looks lots more like January than mid March!! Got a bunch done on the Charger this weekend. Motor placement is about set, it is too high, but I will need to work around that, the cross member in this suspension is too tall and is aluminum so I can't cut and weld with my equipment. Also, the design would be completely changed from as designed by smart people so I am out there.

I was very lucky. I remember the police officer showing up and asked where the driver was. I said I'm the driver and he said no the motorcycle and we stood there looking at it in two pices. I said that's me. He looked at me then the bike and said "how".
I always thought based on a couple other people I knew going over the car might be better than slamming into it.
A lady who reported as a witness said I went over the car about 10-15 feet in the air and landed on my feet and fell back on my butt...just like Hollywood she said...LOL!!
It was cold that night, so I was wearing a helmet that helped a lot because I did fall back and hit my head on the pavement.
 
Grr.. i thought the new season of succession started last night, it's not til the 26th :( Now i have nothing to do at work today... i should gasket match my intake but need to get a electric die grinder (Quieter and not a big compressor at work) and figure the right bits to buy.... I really gotta stop being lazy :)
 
Like a cat, 8 to go, wow
Just glad you were wearing a helmet... I had a nasty mountain bike crash 2 years ago and shattered my left shoulder (All plastic/metal from collar bone to elbow now) and actually broke my helmet.. i used to almost never wear one.. i am sure glad i did that day. The non stop pain and tingling from nerve damage is getting old though :) When i slide under my car and hit the right angle it's like lightning
 
Well in theory today is the day my two post lift delivers. I ordered it in November. But I also need to backfill ditches we dug this weekend for gutter drains and elec service. I will be glad to get house hot. Right now I just have heavy wire stretched across the ground from box to well house. Once house is hot I can run wire i have prepared from house to well house. I lost a whole week of progress last week to the instructors block I was teaching.
