I wish people would pay more attention to driving and obeying traffic signs/laws! The old excuse of "Well I didn't see you" just does not fly. I enjoy riding as much as I can, it is amazing when on a MC how many truly poor drivers are out on the roads today.
Hope the ride (and her Bike - VFR is my fav) heal quickly and are not deterred from continued riding.

Thanks, John. It's been 4 weeks on Tuesday... still a long road ahead. My bike was totaled, unfortunately. The VFR was always my dream bike, too, and I was so happy to have one. Hopefully someday I will be able to get another one!
