I'm just glad that it happened to me and not the customer, if it had, I would have had to hang up my wrenches for good.

been in three involving cagers, a bunch involving dirt and the ol' "unstopable force meets immovable object" type crashes, a couple of low sides on pavement... still walking upright at the ripe ol' age of 36. We'll see what happens in the future.


I'll probably get taken out by some idiot busdriver... I spend enough time cursing their existance... it's only fitting.
We're the first ones to starve
We're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
But we're always the last
When the gravy's shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about

What happens when the unstoppable force meets the immovable object?

Chuck Norris dies.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Yes to the first three. But it depends what you mean by major and minor.

One minor accident. Wet road and hit the brake a little to hard. One hell of a learning lesson.

A number of small spills and one major accident.

Got t-boned by a joker running a red light, the bike was DOA and my right leg was FUBAR'ed to the nth degree......took three years to heal properly and another two years before I could walk without a limp.....and thirteen years before I got back on a bike.

By all rights, that accident should of killed me out-right or at least left me a drooling veg-case at GF Strong......but I guess the devil looks after his own eh?
Always ask why.

On the street? only a minor single vehicle accident (went off-roading after hitting some roadkill mid-corner)

On the track while racing? well, that's a different story ;)

I was blindsided by a Dodge pickup back in November of 2005. ?Spent several weeks in the hospital and 3 months in a wheelchair. Flatlined twice and I don't recall any of the accident.
