    Not good. I had a accident. A 15 y/o hit the side of my car. Came out of a driveway & went over the handlebars into the windshield pillar & door pillar. Threw his shoes 85 ft. It impacted my whole life & his family as well. Not a day goes by I think of himnaxivcl5uotk.png I was doing 45mph

    Randy was this that motorcycle kid on a dirt bike? I think you mentioned this once.

    No. I was on my way home from Portland Me. He was in a driveway where bushes were & came out & ran into side of vehicle. Bottom line is. It doesn't take speed to kill. Not that speed doesn't kill. I'm deathly afraid of speed. Even on my 1450 HD I take back roads. I have over 2 million miles as a trucker & I've seen too many accidents. We all bleed . It saddens me to see people getting hurt.. I've been hit on my 2003 HD & I blacked out & I look back & realize it's that easy to die.

    I went to funeral & Craig's girlfriend walked me up to him & viewed him & I left asap.. She told the police he had been running out in the road all day while at her house. Sad story.. I haven't told this story to many people. But sometimes it helps to let it out. 30+ years later : it still hurts

    I tend to agree that anything over 500HP doesn't belong on the street. I mean, you can get yourself in a helluva lotta trouble with even far less power...
    Ask me how I know? Back before there was social media, I did a spinout and bent a rear axle on a very tall, international bridge with a 1983 Mustang GT 5-speed. Pretty lucky to be here still. I picked up the front clip, threw it in the hatch, and went through customs with no headlights...yes, this was before the Patriot Act and all the border crackdowns.

    @boston1450 Randy, I'm really sorry to hear this, man. Aside from when people come on to sell speakers without having 100 posts, you're one of the nicest dudes I know. I can see how that accident could and does haunt you to this day. That's terrible. It would be bad enough to witness, and so I can't imagine what it's like being drawn into such a life altering accident and for it to go so horribly wrong. All so unexpected.

    Hey Scott. I was having one of those days. Probably put out too much info. Oh well. Yeah I've seen so many accidents & it haunts me. Anyway. I hope all is well with you & your surviving the heat. It's been warm up here as well. I am so ready for fall.. Enjoy your week & don't work to hard
