eagleeye Posted June 29, 2015 #4 Posted June 29, 2015 Man, I'm really sorry to see this, and I do hope you are OK.

Eck Posted June 29, 2015 #6 Posted June 29, 2015 So sorry to hear such news. Just glad you are ok Gary.
Prairiehammer Posted June 29, 2015 Author #7 Posted June 29, 2015 Are there any details? I am headed over to the GL1800 riders forum, he is a member ther also , I will report any additioanl information. He has not provided much in details as of yet. Except to say his wife was not riding with him when he was hit "head-on" by the moron. He has been checked out (scanned) and has no broken bones but is very sore.
M61A1MECH Posted June 29, 2015 #8 Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the up date, Our prayers are with him, very glad to hear that is OK, I wonder if his new wing was equipped with an airbag? That would be interesting to know. The GL1800riders forum has been notified.
Snaggletooth Posted June 29, 2015 #9 Posted June 29, 2015 Ah geesh, hate to hear this. Makes a guy want to drive a snowplow year round. Thoughts for ya Gary. Heal well.
Prairiehammer Posted June 29, 2015 Author #10 Posted June 29, 2015 Gary's comments (via Facebook) "Lisa decided to stay home to do some gardening. I am so thankful she did. I guess we were both doing 25. Right in my subdivisiin. Came around turn and there he was in my lane. No time to react. Othrr vehicle propane truck. It was in our subdivision si police could not charge fault. Driver lying saying I was on wrong side. I had neighbor in pickup right behind me and witnessed everything. Sounds like lawyer time."
Venturous Posted June 29, 2015 #11 Posted June 29, 2015 Hi y'all. I am fine. Hurting very badly but pain pills starting to help a little. It will take more than a head on crash with a propane truck to take this stubborn SOB out. Bike does appear pretty bad. It happened in my subdivision so police didn't seem to care who was at fault and charged no one. Lying dirtbag told cop I was on wrong side of road. Luckily I had a neighbor leaving same time and witnessed it all. He confirms truck was 3' in my lane and I had no time to react. Anyway.. I am fine. Like to have 5 minutes with the lying dirtbag at my local shooting range right now.
cecdoo Posted June 29, 2015 #13 Posted June 29, 2015 Really sorry to hear this a-hole caused you to crash, but glad you are ok and able to tell the story. Think I would definetly contact a lawyer! Take care, Craig
stickhandle2 Posted June 29, 2015 #14 Posted June 29, 2015 Glad to hear you are ok, sorry about the Wing.

slowrollwv Posted June 30, 2015 #19 Posted June 30, 2015 Damn Gart sorry to hear this. Glad you were not hurt too badly. Put the dirtbag on a rotisserie and roast his behind.
Yammer Dan Posted June 30, 2015 #20 Posted June 30, 2015 Glad you are OK Gary. It does sound like lawyer time. Good Luck!!!
videoarizona Posted June 30, 2015 #21 Posted June 30, 2015 Agreed...lawyer up! Glad you are OK. Geesh...what is going on with the world that people have to lie? Guess he's afraid he may lose his job...well...now he probably will for lying to cops! Be curious if his company sticks with him or the truth.... Good luck...and keep us informed as to what happens. We all need to know how to handle these things ...in case we have to deal with same/similar issues! Prayers Up! david
Venturous Randy Posted June 30, 2015 #22 Posted June 30, 2015 Wow Gary, this is one of those "It could have been worse" events. I have yet to get my bike on the road this year and with all the bad things that have happened, I am almost afraid to. Glad is wasn't worse. Randy
