Another Wreck

Tweet

I've mentioned before that my 46-year-old daughter Lisa over the last couple of years has had a fascination with motorcycles; particularly Harley Davidson's and that she bought one. She's had 2 wrecks in that time-frame and fortunately has just come out with scrapes. Well, on Saturday she was practicing for a 100-mile run for a charity cause and while enroute, laid the bike down. She was #3 in line. Her husband and friend were ahead of her racing and acting like idiots. They had just crossed over a hill and when Lisa topped the same hill, she realized that her idiot husband and friend were side by side and had slowed way down (like they were getting ready to race each other). She couldn't go to the right of them as there was no shoulder and she couldn't go to the left of them as that would have been in oncoming traffic and she couldn't go between them as they were too close to each other. Sooooooo, she slammed on the brakes and when she did, the rear tire went out from under her. She and the bike went skidding down the highway. The bikers following behind her saw the wreck and called an ambulance. She bruised her right shoulder and her arm is in a sling. She lost most of the flesh on her right elbow and both knees. Thankfully she was wearing full gear or it could have been much worse. This makes wreck #3 and I told her it might be time to think about getting on that bike again as #4 could be her final ride.
