Title: Hello from Huntsville Alabama
Post by: buddymack on August 08, 2014, 10:13:33 PM
BuddyMack - Huntsville Alabama - 63 and Retired!  New to the K bike world.  Last month a Distracted Driver http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/musicboohoo.gif (http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/musicboohoo.gif) (exited her vehicle, holding her phone to her ear, shouting "I wasn't texting!  I wasn't texting!) ran over me and my 78 Goldwing at county intersection.  http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/falldown.gif (http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/falldown.gif)  Luckily, my Predator Eye caught the motion of her hood in the right hand mirror, so I did what we've all been taught.  Dumped the clutch and accelerated beyond the intersection.  Got about 30 feet before she rear-ended me.  Killed the GW, luckily just skinned me up / tweaked my ribs.  Replacement was a 3 owner 85 K100RT in Ferrari Red with 60K miles.  Thoroughly enjoying it, and just about to start riding seriously again!  http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/riding.gif (http://www.motobrick.com/Smileys/MB_Smiley/riding.gif)  Looking for all the wisdom I can get from the Old Brickheads on the site.

Welcome!

Once you've had a few more hours on her I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Bought in July 14, still layed up until Oct 14, so between then and 6/3/16, 19k miles. Not sure how many hours those miles required, but pretty sure it amounts to a good amount of time.
