        I was only the other day saying that if these jeans were around 25 years ago my knees wouldn't have the scars they have today. Took one down to the bone once wearing a pair of wranglers.
        Get well soon.

                  ur lucky that you only have that little bruise

                  Did you see my  shoulder 🙂  I can't raise my left arm more than an inch so it's more than a little knee bruise.

                  The bike is still in impound as the investigation still isn't over yet.

                  Buddy is still in ICU.

                  Thanks for the kind  words. I was just hoping to point out this stuff works for it's intended purpose. The Biltwell helmet my buddy was wearing didn't help in the crash though.

                  Take care everyone.

                            Thanks. Bonnie may be totaled, still waiting to hear after all this time,  but I'm almost 100% now, just still sore in a couple spots. My buddy never made it out of the hospital. Sucks hard.

                                            No, since there were 2-3 conflicting witness accounts the cops basically said nobody was a fault and left it at that, but that was the report I got before my buddy died so once that happened it changes everything I was told. There will be a lawsuit, but I'm not part of it.

                                            One last PSA before I leave this thread alone. If you ride, do NOT wear a Biltwell helmet. I have one and my buddy was wearing one in the crash. We all know they're not DOT, but it literally did nothing to save him in the crash where my old Davida pudding bowl did. Every crash is different but I know I'll never wear my Biltwell again. If he had been wearing any other 3/4 with more protection he would at least still be alive.Oh…  and always wear your Ironhearts everytime you ride. You never know what will happen.  PSA over.

                                            If anyone here happens to live in Central Florida there will be a party in his name at Will's Pub April 10, this Sunday. It's your typical punk rock/indie bar. He wanted a party, not a funeral. Awesome dude.
