Btw, his XD also has some flat spots that weren't put there by the manufacturer. But given how and where the accident happened, and the speeds involved, E.Marquez proved the old Army dictum that CSMs are not to be trifled with.
I wont say I won the fight... but I can say I'm Not dead and never quit.
4 fractured ribs, some moderate avulsions, contusions and some lighter rash.
Gun, Knife and $1500 in gear I wear every ride saved me from worse.
70 MPH highside (think body slammed in less than the blink of an eye) and that's all it was.. Event time to hospital ER to release and back on the scene to do my own crash site review was about 5 hours. I was back teaching and riding my training bikes again 8 days later (not well mind you, but I'm too hard headed to let pain stop me and make me quit, much to my Brides dismay) 1st time back on a Street bike will be tonight, for Cycle Gear Bike night in Killeen.
