The Call I Always Dread

The last time I rode with Louie and gang, I was not paying attention and
followed them into a turn that I was not ready for. We leaned over far
enough to scrape the pegs and smell the dog shit in the ditch. Cookie will
not hardly ride with me anymore. That is the worst thing about it all. I
have to buy a trike for her now too.

That's good to know.. lol.. From the descriptions of the incident, there
were
some acrobatics going on.. hmmm.. Rumors about Harley's ability to get
airborne should be put to rest..

Those roads in that area are treacherous.. The Big Guy was right there..
all the way..

Nothing to it, Bill C.. Soon as you get re-mounted, we'll do a rematch on
that old road.. That sucker can't get by with jerking one of our guys
around..

She ain't gonna like it near as much as she likes that Valkyrie.. whups..
Don't
you dare put one of those kits on that big sucker..

 

Ain't no kit going on it on my watch Bill. Matter of fact, after I find the
right trike, I am going to turn it into what is called a super valk.
Normally, they are black, but I think Black and Red would be sharp . look at
the one called Canon's Super Valk on the Start page here for an example.

Your right...You have to watch that wild ass riding Louie.

I was sorta thinking, it probably was that BillC, was trying to keep
up with those Two Barge hell riders. One has to do their own ''curve
entering estimating'', but one needs to do it, before one gets into
'said' curve, like 100 yards before. <grin>

 

Hi Bill Cattell. It is a relief to see ya on here, the day after your
''close call''. I bet you are thanking your lucky stars. You really
could've banged up your head bone, you do know that...does this make
ya wanna wear a motorcycle helmet...just maybe........<chuckle>
Seriously, I am glad you are gonna be okay. and it saounds like your
Harley's gonna be okay.........all my best...../bjay/

 

And THAT is the problem (or CONTINUES TO BE). I had the curves set on the
Sportster I had a few years ago. I knew all to well how far to lean,
etc., etc.

I'm still learning that on the RK hence the "not being able to negotiate
the curve". ;-)

 

Anything that's said to analyze the accident that Bill C. had, is nothing
more than pure speculation at this point.. My understanding is that one
of the boys you refer to, was following closely enough behind Bill, that
he was the first to reach him.. I'm not sure about the location of the oth-
ers, but at least Louie was first to render aid.. Brian seems to have been
way out in front of the group and was probably out of sight when the acc-
ident occurred.. At any rate, it was necessary for him to return to the
scene..

As far as what caused the accident, only Bill C. can tell us that, and only
if he can recall.. Sometimes a concussion can cause some memory loss
as to what exactly happened..

Any one of us who ride, are subject to the one little mistake that will
cause
an accident such as this.. The object lesson is.. be careful when we ride..

Well Bill - I'm glad it wasn't you we're talking about.

BTW group - Do any of the witnesses know WHERE I wiped out? I need to
puit that in the accicdent report. Personally, I'd also like to know HOW
I landed - I have a busted up nose, major bruises on the inside of my left
thigh. the back of my left shoulder also has "grass-rash" plus a rash on
the back of my head (no hair loss though)

 

It could be any one of us who ride, next.. In our area, we
have been lucky, in some respects.. There's actually not
been many of us, who've bought it this way.. Considering
how many of us are riding these things..

I bet'cha Louie can answer those questions and more..

 

Yeah, that's it - I was trying to stay ahead of Louei and that caused me
to wupe out! I knew i'd figure out an excuse somehwere along the line and
how to blame someonbe else! ;-) Louie - what's your license and insuance
info? hehehehe

 

I'd suspect that ol'Dusty probably caused you to wipe out.. lol.. At least
he
must have had something to do with it.. hmmm.. He's far enough away that
he can't do much when we blame it all on him.. Trouble is, when all the
hurr-
icane bullshit is over with.. some of us may be headed down that way..

But, that's all right.. I think I can outrun him on my 800, anyway..
whoops..
better hold up on all that.. lost my thought for a minute and forgot that
he's
one of those "racer" dudes..

You may have the right idea.. if Louie don't check in pretty quick, when he
does surface, he'll find out that the whole thing is all his fault..

Sure glad to see you feeling better, Bill C. Regards (you freakin'
Republican)

Bill Walker

 

After watching both you guys on that ride, I decided to get back to the
shotgun position .. Me and the old Arizona dude just rocked on, at our
own pace.. sheesh.. You and the Wakko dude burnt up some highway..

hmmm.. I never noticed that you had a problem "keeping up" with any-
one.. And, where'd the description "that hotrod Harley" come from ?
Seems like it referred to that ElectraGlide you ride.. Oh yeah.. now I
remember.. That was Wakko when he was talking about your motorcycle..

Regards, Morgan Kane..

Bill Walker

 

Say Bill C: Yes Louie was directly behind you. I heard that louie,
layed his Wing down, instead of using the Kick Stand, to quickly get to
you to administer aid. Had you heard that---? /bjay/

One needs to stick to their mindset of riding abilities. I know mine. If
I cannot take a curve like another rider in the group, I ''shy'' back.
Dont bother me atall.

It was a long time since I had ridden with riders like The Louie, and
The Skipper, who can manever those big Barges. I believe even Brian on
his BB, was challenged on the group ride I was part of up in the Mena
area.

I did okay. They never got much over 2 minutes ahead of me and Ed.

So, Bill C. not knowing anything, about what happened, though I cannot
help but wonder if you felt a little apprehensively challanged, and
tried to manever like they do. Bill C. I speak from experience of
trying to stay up with those fellers.
I'm not Bull shitin’ thru my Helmet.
<grin>

all my best to ya......../bjay/

Say---Bill Walker...watch it..... remember Ole’ Dusty from
Brownsville Tejas, has one of them ''Busa'' bad boys in his
garage.....o'wait a minute. we ''shore '' do hope the wind and rain dont
get into his garage, and rust the bike chain or
something........./bjay/

That's why the boys usually have to stop down the road and wait on me.

 

Well, it's REALLY nice to know that even though I was way out front
and riding the fastest best handling bike on this ride, I don't get
the blame....yeah, IT'S ALL ABOUT LOUIE AND REDSHAD!!!

As I recall, I was way out front in Arkansas too!!!

 

Well, I guess all I can say is the sarcasm didn't come out through the
keyboard. No, I WASN'T challenged by Louie and IF I had been I would have
ignored it. If you did indeed stop to help - thank you Louie - that means
alot and says a lot about you as a person - despite what Bill BJay,
Brian and Wakko say. ;-)

Talking to Brian he says we were in the 922/2114 area? Do I have that
right?

I think it bhooves me to get Bike fixed up and take another ride out there
justt so I can PROVE that I can ride (despite what recent histroy has
shown) ;-)
