Re: [DucatiST] Update on my accident... and today I went for a ride!!!

 

Sounds like you had a great return to riding! Glad your back out and at it!

I was hit the same way,but with no injuries in 1979. Girl turning left just drove right in to me. I was stupid then, I saw her coming and thought, "I hope she stops". Never occurred to
me she'd drive right into me. She told the cop, there was a sign hanging there with a left turn arrow. In rate, I was slammed into the bars and the whiplash catapulted me off
into the street where I landed on my feet. Nary a scratch and no gear save a helmet.
Honda 750 engine case saved my foot.
A fellow who witnessed it jumped out of his car on crutches and hobbled over.
He'd been hit the week prior on his Harley and had a broken leg. He scored my dismount a 10.

At any rate, it taught me I'm a toothpick when hit by a car.
Never assume a car driver will do what's right.
Always wear the gear. I'm sure glad you had on all the gear which
for anyone on a harley is quite rare.

Best of luck in you and I look forward to hearing of you continued Vespa adventures!
I've a cousin in Ventura with a 1974 Ducati GT750 sitting in his garage because he
is scared to ride it in the traffic you fellows have. Best, Robert

Put 34 miles on her. May not sound much but that was lapping Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey. Baby steps, baby steps.

Take care all, and Dennis - you owe me some FO...
