| Got in my first bike accident
Guy hit me on my Harley. Luckily it was in a parking lot. The tow guy said there's a good chance they'll total the bike. Kept the bike up but banged my knee a little bit. I'm pretty pissed |

I had a friend killed a few years back by a soccer mom in a Tahoe on his Harley. People just don't watch for bikes. | |
