Sounds like it was a horrible way to end you weekend and it now makes since why you weren't feeling too excited about going for a ride on Sunday. I'm sure glad the Dr. and medical professionals were so close and that it wasn't any worse than it <br />as.<br /><br />Being more exposed is part of the fun, but adds and lot to the danger and risk we all take when we are on two wheels. Reading this and a about a few other accidents lately sure pounds ATGATT into your mind.<br /><br />Let ride soon!<br /><br />Jared<br />UtahMotorcyclist.orgJMGanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598811758028354038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-18093623051991683202011-09-19T20:17:11.769-07:002011-09-19T20:17:11.769-07:00Bob - If you look close you can see a fence post i...Bob - If you look close you can see a fence post in one of the pictures.

When someone asks me for riding advice I usually tell them they would be much better off taking a MSF course, from a trained instructor.<br /><br />Jack - You might be right, she is no quitter, as evidenced by her fight to control the bike.

I believe this is true as it doesn't take anything to end up underneath one.<br /><br />Even though the terrain was as rough as nails (looking at the damage to the bike), I am delighted that Becky wasn't riding in North Carolina, or someplace where the edge of the road is an 80 foot drop (without a guardrail), or a solid rock embankment. <br /><br />Still, her injuries seem serious enough to me (although walking away without head, facial, spine, and leg injuries is like winning the lottery.) I was especially proud to read that she fought for control and nearly had the damn thing upright when the end came.<br /><br />I bet she'd riding again next season. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack/reep<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-17283047421733846872011-09-19T06:53:16.015-07:002011-09-19T06:53:16.015-07:00Ken,

My heart goes out, I know this is the kind of thing that goes through my mind when I gear up to ride, and especially when my brother and sister in law asked if I would teach them the basics. <br /><br />It's a risk we all take, I hope I never wind up in such a place, I don't wish that on anybody, but I'm happy to hear she's doing well and that the meds were close by. That can make all the difference.<br /><br />Hope things only go up from here.<br /><br />Brady<br />Behind Bars - Motorcycles and LifeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03424120592303852860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-58683139094142707022011-09-19T05:15:47.254-07:002011-09-19T05:15:47.254-07:00Glad to see she is OK and hope this does not put a...Glad to see she is OK and hope this does not put a stop to your Daddy Daughter ride.<br />Stuff happens and the show must go on.VegasHotWheelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391956019037740212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389913768699522944.post-31172138267998787372011-09-18T21:21:21.182-07:002011-09-18T21:21:21.182-07:00She was being watched over! isn't good to kno...She was being watched over! isn't good to know.
