[QUOTE="Ryan Lantzy, post: 39165, member: 7"] Re: Motorcycles I used to ride a Suzuki VL800. It was a cruiser. I enjoyed it when I first got into it but quickly lost interest. I sold my bike after about 4 years of ownership. The guy that bought it from me was hit nearly head on as a girl pulled out of a parking lot making a left turn. I guess is was more of like him T-boning the car. Either way, he didn't have enough time to stop and obliterated the bike. He landed himself in the hospital for 45 days and had a heart attack on the scene. They ended up cracking his chest and doing bypass on him as well as putting all kinds of metal plates in. I think he had a broken collar bone, fractured femur, tibia, and fibula, and three broken ribs. He's pretty damn lucky he didn't die. Mind you, this was a very experienced rider. He was in his late 40's early 50's, in pretty good shape (except for the heart disease I guess). I tell you this because I think you should know the consequences of wrecking a bike when a 3000 lbs chuck of metal is involved. You often don't get second chances in the motorcycle world. Luckily, he did. [/QUOTE]
