Good thing you and Pegleg don't work around magnets! ;D

Do either of you throw off a compass?  At least you'd have an excuse for having one and still getting lost. 

(yeah, I know non-ferrous)

I live in Massachusetts Haz.  All compasses up here point LEFT!!!!!!

Compass? ...... Compass?
We don't need no stinking compass............I always know right where I am.......... ;D ;D ;D

However, with a couple of 3" "deck screws" in one hip, a metal rod in my left femur, and a prosthetic left leg below the knee, I DO play hell with the metal detectors at the courthouse..........."Sir, you're gonna have to empty your pockets, please"....

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Taking the big picture into consideration, and being a 'glass half full' type guy, I look on the bright side of things.
Now I save 50% a pop on pedicures and only have to tie one boot lace every morning..... ;D ;D ;D

Damn Tim!

You might be on to something!  Back in '72 I was hit broadside on my bike by a 65 Dart!  I walked away (miracle) but both the bike and car were totaled.

Well Haz, I've had my bike license since 1973 and had a few close calls but after 35 years there are way too many people on the road that don't speak the language. 

I don't think you need to read between the lines to understand that they guy that decided to put me in the hospital for three months and out of work for seven, was in the country under other than legal circumstances. 

PegLeg makes a good point!  The glass is half full because, what don't kill ya, definately makes you stronger! >:(

You guys still riding? (stupid question?) actually I worked with a guy that fixed his bike up to ride with a prosthetic leg. also they have electric shifters that mount on the left handle. I sincerely hope I never get in that position, though I have had a few close calls with soccer mom's and their mini-vans. :P

Nope!

It's not fair to put my family through more than I already have!

A word to anyone who still does ride.  Make sure you carry a large amount of "Personal Injury Protection" on your motorcycle policy in case of an underinsured driver.

+1000 on the insurance part.

I would ride again if I could.
I looked into a trike....cost way too much.
Can't ride two wheels due to continuing problems with my knee (won't bend all the way, causes a bad limp).
The girl that hit me had just enough insurance (state required minimum $25,000) to pay off the bike and some medical....
I quit counting medical bills at around $300,000.
Luckily I had enough AD&D to pay off my house and vehicles (I would recommend AD&D insurance to everyone, worth the $10 a month).

Pretty much the same for me.  My medical hit 500k and kept going.  Same story, state minimum for the driver that ran over me so my insurance company and the shyster got two thirds of the settlement which left me with about 8K.  Enough to pay about half of my deductibles and co-pays.

Bikes totaled but the guy who bought it at auction called me for the extra set of keys.  I had him stop by the house so I could hobble out and take a look at the carnage.  It had been about 8 months since the accident but he stuck the keys in the ignition and she fired right up.  It wasn't rideable but he wanted the motor and other parts to build another he had at home.  He just gotten back from Iraq, 1st Lt in the 3rd ID.  Purple Heart and all!

I thanked him for his service and told him to buy a decent helmet.  It saved my life!!!!!  8)

On a positive note, I found that copious amounts of morphine are enough to make you forget where you left your cigarettes!  I don't smoke anymore, 2 years and 3 months today!
