    I suppose only the rider will no if he took a big blow on the shoulder to snap the collar bone or it was an impact on the helmet that caused it. Thats if you can even remember exactly how it happened at all!! LOL!!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Green Machine, that's terrible, hope you don't have to wait too long to ride again. We will miss you at the bike park!
