Star, I am so glad he is Ok. Wow. You are right people are crazy. God was watching out for him last night. His guardian angels must have been on full alert!

Star - glad Butch is o.k. We've had some very scary incidents on the Harley too. It's the others that you have to watch out for sometimes. Cars and animals. We had a Bobcat run out in front of us in Tennesee and almost took the bike down. That's when old thunder thighs came in handy and was able to hold the Road King up from hitting the ground. We had to pull over and take a breather to regroup before we could take off again. We were the lead of 21 bikes so we were lucky nobody else was hurt too. Hopefully Butch will have his bike back by August and we can all go for a ride together. Really looking forward to it. Take care and ride safe.

I'm really glad to hear Butch is OK! That could have ended up much worse and had you been behind him, who knows what would have happened! After that incident though, a little road rash seems like a small price to pay. Tell him to heal up....he needs to beat you up in the gym. ;)

And just when I was looking at motorcycles. Star, I know Butch - it would take a semi to take him out of the game. Hope recovery goes well.

Korie you are right .. I felt as if I was the one on that bike yesterday!! I feel ready to rock and roll today....Thanks... that day of rest.. was the key... this man is giving me gray hair... or either that he is trying to get me into the medical field instead of the education.... I have had to be his nurse for the last four years in a row.. like I told him this one is going to cost him big time $$$$$$$ and the best part he want s to take my solo seat off my bike so we can both ride.. on mine.. while his is getting re-built...I just like to keep him on his toes.. I said Oh.. are you on back.... he said....NEVER!!!(LOL) imagine that a man with a ego? I must say, I would't want to be without him.. he has the best out look on life... and we enjoy each day.. no matter what storm may blow in.. just hang on !!!
