Motorcycle Accidents Happen...

You hear about them all the time.

BUT, it's different when it happens to a friend...



My previous post was about riding with North County Cruisers. Really friendly group, they ride every weekend.

This past weekend, August 1o, they rode to Big Bear. A great ride and I was sorry to miss it. It wasn't until Monday morning that I received the news. On that ride, Rhandy went off the road, hit an embankment and was thrown 25 feet into a tree. He was taken by helicopter to Loma Linda hospital. The photos posted in the previous post were taken by Rhandy.

The GOOD news is that he is on the road to a full recovery.

The BAD news is that it will be painful trip.

He has suffered 7 broken ribs, a fractured spine at T-5 and a lacerated liver. Luckily the spinal cord was not injured and he is able to move his fingers and toes.

So to my friend Rhandy - I wish you a speedy recovery, you are in my thoughts.

Cruising with North County Cruisers

It's been a long time since I went on a group ride. Too long. It's been at least a year. First it was because of my school schedule and now that school is over it's because of my work schedule. Well, I finally decided that I needed to take some time for me to do the things I enjoy. And what do I enjoy the most???

Riding my bike of course!

I met up with North County Cruisers and we rode to the Diamond Lake Reservoir. It was a beautiful warm day. Perfect riding weather.

As luck would have it, one of the cruisers is a professional photographer and has two cameras mounted on his bike. He took some excellent shots, including this one which he doctored up a little...
