There appears to be a number of bikers on this board. My husband and I both ride. He has a 2004 Suzuki Hayabusa. He's added a Yosimura exhaust.

... and I drive a 2004 Honda Shadow Sabre. I've added Cobra drag pipes and freeway bars so far. I'd like to do a cushy seat and windsheild next.

I didn't have pictures of our actual bikes handy, so I nabbed these off the web. The makes/colors are right.

Heck yeah! Did he show you his scar where he burned his a$$ ? LOL

I wanna see, I wanna see, :xena_banana: :Banane03:

Hello Fellow Banded Biker Buddies - Can you please send a quick prayer or thought out for my FIL. He was hit by a car yesterday afternoon on his bike. He is doing ok - talking and stuff like that but he has alot of broken bones and his legs are bad from the road rash. The lady cut accross 2 lanes of traffic to get to her exit and just didn't see him. Sorry to hijack the thread but knew fellow bikers would pray for a quick recovery for him. Also pray the lady tells the truth she told medic what I said above but when the trooper got there she told him he ran into to her. Lucky there are witnesses they haven't talked to yet so hopefully the truth will come out when the cop talks to them.

Thanks everyone.

You got it. He's a lucky guy to come away with broken bones and bad abrasions, so I think he's got the white light on his side already, thank Heaven. Send our love from Vegas, and we've got an extra bike on the trailer when he's better.

I will be praying for him in N.D. Hope he gets better soon.

My prayers are with him and his family. Keep us posted on how he is doing. My husband and I belong to a motorcycle club and I know how it is to know someone who has been in a terrible wreck and it is awful. One of our club members was in a terrible accident a couple of weeks ago in Houston on the freeway and lost his leg. It is so sad that he will not be able to ride again. Accidents are something you think of everytime you get on a bike, at least I do. I think about them more because I have little kids. But my husband is a safe driver but it's the other dumbasses on the road you HAVE to watch for. My thoughts are with him.

Prayers are being sent as we speak! I hope they get the truth out of her. So many people here say they just didn't see them and get away with it. Now, tell me how many people can't see a motorcycle on the road? I see people avoid being behind one. They really need to make the laws stricter for people that hit a motorcycle! I bet they would see them then!

Please keep us posted on his progress!

Prayers are always going out to those of us that are the victims of the cagers. Should I send a few Bandito buddies over to talk to this woman...*evil grin*?

Thanks everyone. We spend all day w/ him yesterday. We got him up and walking last night. Once he was up he was going pretty good. They didn't xray his right wrist and he couldn't move it yesterday..he thinks it could be broken. Gotta love a hospital that only x-rays parts of your body. You would think they would have done the whole thing since he didn't what happened - when he arrived he was unconious and still all he remembers is looking up and seeing her bumper @ his handle bars. Anyway he is doing great. Thanks again for the prayers as I know they are all being answered because he survived it w/ what we say are minor injuries becuase it could have been alot worse.

Delara...I will have to let him know you have an extra bike in vegas ready to go...he was joking yesterday that he was ready to go for a ride because it was so nice yeaterday afternoon here.

Glad to hear that he is up and walking and feeling good. He is very lucky.

Hope that woman gets a ticket out of all of this. I don't by the I didn't see them excuse...but it gets used all the time.

Glad to hear is doing better, Kim

Sending warm wishes and healing vibes his way!

All things considered, I thought I would ask if anyone is going to attend the Republic of Texas Rally, down in Austin, June 1, 2, 3, & 4. I made reservations for the rally and the hotel today.The rally is $45 and the hotel was $75 a night. And it has a Murphy bed for visitors. Joy is coming down Friday evening. Maybe we'll make the party downtown on 6th Street this year.

We've been talking about it some, but haven't made a decision yet. I'll let you know if we decide to go though.

Works for me Betty. Joy and I went two years ago (I was going to DC last year) and had a good time. Lots of bikes to look at. Vendor stuff. And Hank Williams Jr. was the headliner.

I like Hank Jr. We went to one of his concerts and he sure puts on a great show!

Shoot, we were lucky to get in the gate! We decided not to fight the crowd down toward the stage. We listened for a while and then headed on back to the hotel.

The funniest part of the whole weekend were the "Crown Royal Twins". Two guys, buck nekkid, except for those little purple sacks that Crown Royal comes in?? And you can guess where they had applied the sacks...LMAO I mean, I'm pale, but those boys needed a LOT of sun...ROTFLMAO
