Hey Guys just checking in. I wanted to thank you for the well wishes and prayers. Sick about the bike but, glad to be alive.
For all the PETA members I would like to say no animals were hurt during this gear testing.
Testing Results:
1. Shoie helment ***** ( Not even a headache)
2. Alpinestar Jacket*** ( Mostly did it's job. Seperated from pants, wore
through.......in hind sight leather would have been better.)
3. Suzuki Leather Pants***** ( Only bruises. Pants can be worn again)
4. Axo Boots**** ( Just got "em 2 weeks ago. Left foot is broken but, may
have saved me a broken leg.)
5. Joerocket Gloves ** ( knuckle padding not thick enough. Still had some
road rash, gauntlet style would have been better.)
6. Friends 10 out of 5 stars. Mojo (Mark) and Rodney, thank you both for
helping me and for picking up the pieces for me and getting me home to
my family. I really needed you and you were there. Of course, Mark you
have always been there for me, haven't you!
Last but, certainly not least my wife. I can't imagine being gimped up and
having to stay home with anyone else but her. Her only concern was that I
was alright. She started crying when she saw my helment.
What have I learned?
2 years and 10 months ago I lost my 17 year old son, Alex, in a car accident. I have been mad at God for quiet some time. This has been a great place to go when I could not sleep for thinking about his accident. The loss of my son was devistating and it made me question everything, even God's existance. This is my second wreck, on my bike, in 2 years. The first wreck could have easily been fatal. The second wreck I learned something. It helped me with the fears I had about Alex's accident. Did my son suffer? This doubt has been slowly killing me. Sunday when I had my get off, I went down hard. But I never felt any pain until I was sitting on the side of the road putting my little toe back in socket. This may sound absurd but, sometimes we need perspective. This wreck has actually helped put me at ease about my son's accident.God just took him He did not hurt him. It took my own accident for me to see that God is merciful. He does exist and He has a plan.
Christmas is a very difficult time for those of us who have suffered the loss of a loved one. Especially a child. My wife has built a website to help others grieving the loss of a loved one. If you have lost a loved one please click on this link Home Home
