mobilestromrider in a wreck in Lafayette

Yea I am healing good and on the prowl for another bike

Glad to hear Your healing up well!

That's great. Glad to hear.

I'm glad your looking for a new bike, the tag game has not moved.

Wow.... I sure hope everything is healing nicely....

Excellent news!!

Sorry stromrider, I got to this party late. Hate to hear about the bike, but it can be replaced. Hope you heal up quick and with no permanent damage.

That is great news man!

You looking for another Vstrom? I happen to know where a 05 or 06 one is that may be able to be had for a reasonable price. He is a fellow co-worker that worked in the Houma base for a long time. It is almost un-used. I heard he put roughly 2600 miles on it since new.

Just came across this thread veryy sorry to hear about your accident and bike loss, hope you are back on the road and all healed up soon.

sorry to hear about the accident,(ben out of town a lot for work) hope you are healing well and fast.

hope for you a speedy recovery

Prayers and thanks for a full recovery

UPS tried to kill me.....what can brown do for you!! I know tourmaster saved my life along with a full face helmet!! In the last picture with my bike in it, I am being worked on by the medics in the back ground

Amazing

So.....a UPS truck you say? WIll they be changing the name of the company to
STROMRIDER DELIVERY SERVICE?

ATGATT good on ya.

Wow. Glad you had your gear on.

Can you tell me what happened? I want to try & learn from your experience.

50 miles from Lake Charles, I was behind a red vehicle and a UPS freight line truck passed me with other traffic ( I do not haul a$$ on long distant trips) About 2 min later I noticed that the traffic in front of me making strange maneuvers, then the red vehicle in front of me braked a little and so did I and then it rose up on its suspension and it all went to hell from there!! The next thing I seen was a very large brown ball come from under it and it ballooned out like a parachute, I leaned the bike to the grass to the right but it all happened too fast! The bike flew up and threw me and I hit the highway hard, I crawled to the side of the road to keep from getting run over. That crawl was very painful and I could not breathe, all I can say is where a full face or modular helmet, and all the gear the more armored the better. Mark Morrison

Wow, you are very, fortunate it could have been far worse.
Good you ride ATGATT.

You got that right!!! I want to get across to everyone that hits the highway that you need to be wearing a full face Helmet and all the other gear!!!

Full face helmet CHECK, my face is toooo purdy not to protect lol

People laugh at me all the time for wearing a full face on a cruiser. My face is ugly enough without adding the possibility of having no chin.

Glad you are healing quick, and in good spirits.

I have had several people pick on me as I get ready to leave work. They say stuff like "you look like your getting ready to race on a track". I just say "what's your point? I dress for a crash, not a cruise".
