Well sorry to say my motorcycle got totaled.My right foot is crushed but still attached. Have not seen my bike yet, but called the garage they said the frame is shattered and the trailing arm is shattered so much for the great idea for the frame being cast aluminum.
Don't know what's going to happen with the insurance yet whether or not they are going to pay me enough money to buy another Indian I hope so. Everybody in my family wants me to give up motorcycle riding, just don't know yet have to heal.

Wow. Harry, I am so sorry for your bike and your foot, but glad that you're still here with us and in good enough shape to post.
Are you up to providing details?

 

[harry]

Sure what you want to know

 

[Dan_Frisbie]

The usual morbid curiosity of the crash.

 

[fred_g]

Wow, so glad to hear you've survived to ride another day.... take care of yourself and I hope you heal up soon.....

Well I was on Central Avenue in the middle of four lanes in the turning lane waiting for cars to clear or what I thought was clear proceeded to turn left next thing I hear screeching tires and I am flying through the air to try to get up to kick somebody's but I realized that I couldn't move my foot somebody comes over and tells me not to move and pins me down. Thank God for having tall work boots on or my foot might not still be attached on 24 hours in the hospital I will be back to work for a couple weeks at least going to try to see my motorcycle Monday don't know if I can handle that!!!

Happy to hear you are on the right side of the daisies. Bike can always be replaced.

Sorry about your accident, Harry and glad you are still here to tell us about it. I hope you heal quickly and can back to riding again, and I understand why your family is reacting with their hope you will find another hobby. Give it some thought, but remember the great times you had on the bike and play that against the accident. Let us know how things turn out.

 

[rtmhunter]

Glad your still on this side of the dirt!! Best of luck with everything.

Glad to hear you are OK, screwed up foot aside. Driven in NY...well in the City anyway. I know the taxis there seem to believe right of way is only something they deserve. I hope the average driver in Troy is not like the City's taxi drivers!!!

Get healthy my friend and get back in the saddle.

Semper Fi,
DrZ

Sorry to hear about the crash. I know from experiance the first couple of times throwing a leg back over a motorcycle after a crash is kind of scary, but it can be done. I have done it three times. I hope you heal fast. Please keep us posted and if you need anything let us know.

Very Sorry to Hear This .. I know exactly what you are going through I lost my Victory King Pin back in early March and was 6 weeks Healing .. Was Sick that this Beauty was Totaled after all the work to make it just like I wanted .. Only Good part is that the Insurance did pay off with a fair Price that i have been hanging on to for the right replacement and the New Indian Scout is the one to do it ..

 

[Big Daddy]

Hate to hear this Harry.
Puts you in the situation of dealing with cops, doctors and insurance adjusters...what were you thinking about your luck?
I guess it's better than funeral directors.

Well, not to seem opportunistic here, like I'm picking over the bones or anything, since they are going to total it anyway, let's getting to parting that bad boy out. Did the saddlebags make it unscathed?

Ok, just kidding...and calling dibbs.lol

 

[Roadgypsy]

God's speed Harry. I was riding with my friend when he went down at 75mph. A quick hard dose of reality. He is recovering well as I hope you are. Whether you ride again or not I'm glad you will be okay and are alive.

 

[halld]

Get well soon and start thing about Spring.

Thanks be to our Lord your injuries weren't any more severe. Prayers go out for a quick healing for you, and a good settlement on your Indian so that another can be had in short order.
