Good luck to you on the recovery. I was in a motorcycle accident myself in April in which my doctor told me there was a 50% chance that I would wake up after surgery minus 1 leg below the knee. Luckily I woke up with both legs still attached, though a few of my former activities will never be enjoyed again - one of them being riding motorcycles (or not having metal detectors go off every time I walk through one). That was too close of a call for me.

Hope you're recovering well and your recovery is fast.

I was going to throw a fourth in there: Those that have been down and quit riding because of it.

Then I realised they are no longer riders. I count myself in this group. Had a spill six weeks ago and almost lost my leg. Luckily, the doc was able to save my leg, but that was too close of a call for me. As it is, I'm looking at six months of recovery time and physical therapy.

I wasn't carrying when I had the spill as I was headed to the Denton County Courthouse and didn't want to disarm and leave my gun in the saddlebag when I got there. Good thing, too, as I thought of this when I was in the hospital - what would have happened to my gun had I been carrying? Would the police have held it? I simply don't know.

Be safe out there when you ride.
