another one bites the dust 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Hi guys, I think the roadie is totaled, a kid on a cell phone cut me off, so close I could,t hit the brakes, snaped the front tubes and pushed every thing up into the front frame. I saw it this afternoon in a hut at the salvage yard, I don't know if the neck is bent but there is a dent in the front tube, any way I walked away sore and bruised but alive. I have had 4 people on cell phones cut me off in the last week, it needs to stop before someone gets killed, it was bad enough before cell phones now I just don't know, any way the kid was charged,check in when I get a set of wheels.

Thanks

Charlie

Hope you are ok Charlie. A bike can always be replaced (even though it is sad to do it).

Lets us know what comes of this.

I'm sorry to hear about your bike But I'm glad you're here to talk about it.

I won't start on cell phones. I loose what little cool I have and start ranting.

Sorry to hear about your mishap Charlie. Thank God you are alright. Like Gram said, a bike can be replaced. Here in California, they are ticketing people on cell phones while driving. Hope this will eliminate those distractions we have to put up with.

Holy CARP! Man, Oh man...!
Certainly do hope you're alright... Sorry about the Roadie though...
(Maybe there's a chopper project in your future...?)



Cagers are just plain stupid, when it comes to riders... Cagers on cell phones are Idiots!



Let us know how your doing... Or, if you need anything...

Sorry about your crash. Glad you're okay.

Cagers just don't get it. I'd like all of them to take the MSF course just once to get a clue.
