Glad you are ok. I hope you were wearing your gear Stoney!
Don't give up on bikes just because of one *******! You won't quite driving a car if some jerk ran you off the road, right?

Glad you're OK man. It's a dangerous thing. All it takes is.... well you know. That kind of stupidity is exactly why I don't have a bike.

You were very fortunate. It's usually not the rider, it's the 4-wheelers that cause most bike accidents. Glad to hear you are okay.

Damnit dude i'm glad you're OK. Every time I start thinking I'd like to have a bike to ride, medics drag another bloody carcas into the operating room and fill me full of good sense. Sell the bike man!

Glad to hear you're OK. Sorry about the bike, though. If it's any consolation, bikers don't get any more respect in any other state. Feel better.

Man, I am really sorry to hear about that! I've been wondering how ya been lately..... That is a shame, how could somebody just drive off after hitting someone on a bike?

I woudln't give up on the bike.... but... I coudln't own a bike in FL either, drivers are horrible.... they are alot better in GA.

That's a horrible thing to say!

Just like with a car, not everyone who rides crashes!

Yes, several! A co-worker has gone 80,000 plus miles in 6 years, and not gone down. My Dad has ridden 20,000 miles with no accidents. That's the same as saying everyone in a car crashes! Not always true. :thumbsup:

I've ridden bikes for 21 years, well over 120,000 miles... not a scratch on me, or any bike I ever owned...

That being said, when I go down to Florida, and see what passes for driving down there... heh heh, the Riders down there have some real courage...

There are certainly idiots up here, but there is a respect factor and an awareness of the 2 wheeled vehicle... the insane party every 5 years, when Harleys take over the streets, literally, does tend to raise awareness...
