Great story, glad to see you stuck with it even after an obviously serious event. While not an HD fan I can relate to your passion for motorcycles, I am however a twin fan, I recently wrote an aritcle of my first experience with my SV650. My First Motorcycle - The Suzuki SV650

Thanks everyone for chiming in! I hope with all of the encouragement to convince Forrest to guest post more often as he has many more miles (and experiences) in the saddle than I do!

Absolutely awesome. This truly captures how that feels…I am lucky enough to know what happened to both of my first two bikes and it’s a good feeling to know they went to great homes.

What a great story! Isn’t it funny how our bikes can become not just a part of our lives, but part of us along the way. Many happy rides on the Road King.

That’s a great story. I’ve gone down myself, though from the photo it seems you got it worse than me. It’s been 7 months now and I still can’t work – but I can ride again. Riding was all I thought and dreamed about from after the accident until I started her motor again. I don’t know why, but there were no jitters heading back out, and I love the wind in my face again.

Congrats on the King. If my lawyer does well for me, hopefully by this time next year I’ll be doing my “just got a new Road King” post. For now, my ’04 Sporty is my baby. I have her set up for touring and she’ll suit me just fine until I can afford to step up. I’m glad you got back on the horse that threw you, and I’m glad you found a woman to share it with. My wife doesn’t ride, and I doubt she ever will. That’s something I’ve always wished we could share. You’re a lucky man.

What a remarkable story! It really shows how bonded we become with our bikes. Congratulations on your new Harley purchase. You will be making new memories and sharing new stories in no time with your new leading lady. (Well, 2nd to Liz of course!) Thanks for sharing and welcome to the blog world. Let us hear more from you! Ride on! Lady R

Awesome post. It truly can be an emotional experience. I’ve been with “Dixie” (my Harley Wide Glide) for 5 years now and I commonly refer to her as “the love of my life”.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
