Sooner or later, most two-wheel vehicles wind up on the ground at some point. Glad to hear your son is relatively okay, Rich. That's the important part.Ed

Sorry to hear about the overall situation, but as noted, good news the Noah is relatively ok.
My observation over the years is that there seem to be two types of motorcycle crashers. Those who crash and swear off riding forever, or those who crash then assess the situation and cause then get back on. If Noah doesn't get back on you may lose some quality time with him which would suck, but life goes on.sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

Noah’s had some offs before on this bike. This was the worst. I’ve had worse and always got back on. His were all due to some mechanical failure that I could not or failed to foresee. This little 125 as so buzzy. It shed bolts/fasteners like crazy. I’m glad to be rid of it. I won’t push him to get back on the horse. Thanks all for your input.Rich

Last week at the BC rally, I chatted quite a bit with Rich Desmond, he mentioned he’d be coming through central PA soon. After leaving Bedford, he travelled up through Wisconsin, Minnesota, into Canada then East. Got an email from him last night that he could stop by the Rust Rail this afternoon on his way back to VA. He did, we chatted over beers. Noah was tending bar. We shared yesterdays fiasco with Rich D. Noah is sore today but I don’t think they’ll be any permanent scars. We’re both able to laugh a bit about the absurdity of it all. RD shared a bit about how he lost the tip of his finger in a MC racing accident a while back. I think that helped put things in perspective for Noah.Rich

Oh, Bob, that is too funny. I had to look through all your parking lot photos because I didn’t take many and I couldn’t find RD in any of Dave’s. This is one of yours I cropped. I’m talking to RD, who is mostly obscured by Scott Baker. He must have been telling a really great story. He got me, Ron, Norm and JustinRedmanSon rollin’.
He rode a Yamaha Tracer if that helps.
