Just a few words about my Sat. Wingstock ride.
I rode with Steve{Daddysbike},Sheila{motorcyclemom40},Roger{Panther} and Jamie{Jamie}.We were headed for the Gap-Cherohala Parkway..etc.
I headed into a left-hander too fast for my experience and saw that I was headed into the ditch.I then did the wrong thing and fixated{sp} on the ditch...Running into the ditch...followed it about 15-20 feet...popped back into the road and by the grace of God kept it upright...Sheila was behind me and able to avoid me by going across the line and around me...Thank God there was no own coming traffic.
I remember seeing the ditch and saying Oh Lord....hearing the gravel flying and then seeing Sheila come past me.I don't remember seeing anything as I was traveling down the ditch.
Long story short I was riding over my head.I'm not used to riding the twisties and wasn't paying good enough attention.
I want to thank all you who was with me.They were and are some fine folks.
The left foot peg bracket broke off and the kickstand spring jumped off.We found both items.
Steve called "Depot Power Center" in Blairsville.George the manger there was gracious to take the bracket off of his"one and only GL1800".
George you're the best.
We didn't get to go where we were headed,but we still road some great roads without any further mishaps...LOL
Thanks guys for the gracious way you all took care of me...
Steve,Sheila,Roger,and Jamie.
In Christ
