KIC Posted June 28, 2012 Share #51 Posted June 28, 2012 Glad you are on here. Now take it easy and listen to the Docs. They do know what they are talking about...sometimes. Not listening put me under the knife a extra trip. Not fun at all. Hope you heal fast and good. Yea...what he said ! My "not listening" resulted in metal parts being installed. They must be 2nd Gen parts since I have not had to do any maintenance work on them. Oh crap... did I type that out loud ..??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke them and got me some 1st Gen parts!!! Good to go now...I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted June 29, 2012 Share #58 Posted June 29, 2012 I called Brian back, as he left a message on my phone while I was riding down to northern Cal. As of last night he was still in the hospital, but expecting to be released today. His wife and sister-in-law were with him, they have a car, and will be driving up to Vacaville, CA. next Monday, as has already been reported. His daughter lives in Vacaville, and is a nurse. I will be down in this area, Sacro/Vacaville, until next Monday to see if he needs any further assistance from one us us...regarding bike, etc. Now, to you boneheads that think a Gen 1 is a better bike than a Gen 2...that may be true...until "I" get my hands on it (he he he he he) and do some magical tweeting to it, so that it runs like a 1942 H-D, then...that would make all of you Gen 1 fans happy, eh? Besides, anyone that REALLY rides already knows that BLACK painted Gen 2 bikes are the best, and fastest.

dingy Posted June 29, 2012 Share #61 Posted June 29, 2012 Can you make a 2nd Gen THAT Slow?? Slow was factory standard equipment on the Royale Star Venture starting in 1999 and countinuing through the current model. It was added at the same time the Eyebrows were added so the new 2nd gen Star flagship wouldn't be mistaken for an Ultra HD in oncoming traffic.

Aussie Annie Posted June 29, 2012 Share #62 Posted June 29, 2012 Geez Brian... so glad you are okay, and will heal. Bikes can be replaced -- people can't!!!!!!!! Take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJoe Posted June 29, 2012 Share #63 Posted June 29, 2012 Brian, Gald to hear your ok... the bones will heal although somewhat slower than they used to...LOL Hope you don't mind but thought we might possibly learn something from this. The Biggest problem I have noticed as I get older, is I get distracted very easily while riding. Perhaps it's complacency from riding most of my life, or, bad habbit or a combination of the two. Here in WV I have learned to stay 2' to the right of center(except around turns) as it gives me more time to react. It also keeps me away from those big drop offs along the edge of the road. I cannot tell you how many times in the past coupla years that I have found myself in the same position you were in. Guess what I'm trying to say is we all need to pay alot more attention while we're riding. As broken ribs take 2-3 mos, you should have a new bike picked out by then. Hopefully it's a 2nd Gen.

KIC Posted June 29, 2012 Share #65 Posted June 29, 2012 From what I can tell, from extensive hospitalization and great medical care, and after careful consideration, Brian does not have, or has not suffered any type of TBI ( Traumatic Brain Injury) that would lead him to the decision of replacing his bike with a 2nd Gen. Looks like a complete 1st Gen type recovery is the prognoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
