Stop in for a cup of coffee

I assume the pool did alright, got filled/warmed up in time. Those guys did a lot of work in a short amount of time.
 
Yes it is, and its Monday morning at that, one more cup for memike

Morning all bikes and coffee a great start to a Monday.
I rode as a kid up to when I was 19. I had a heck of a wreck that I walked away from.
I had a Kawasaki 900 a drunk pulled out in front of me I was doing 40.
I hit him broadside and had enough time to push off the foot pegs and go over the car. Ripped the front fork off but I walked away without a scratch.
I tried riding again, but it just wasn't fun anymore.
 
We extended our trip to Scotland, wife wanted to search for Nellie in Loch Ness and go to the Fairy Pools. Will move from Edinburgh to Iverness halfway thru the trip and tour Highlands etc. from up there.

I think a lot of people don't walk away w/o injury from that, you're lucky.
 
Good Morning Everyone. More snow yesterday (2-3") and then another 2+ overnight. High winds this AM made the drive in interesting. Complete white out/no visibility with all the open fields to the north. Looks lots more like January than mid March!! Got a bunch done on the Charger this weekend. Motor placement is about set, it is too high, but I will need to work around that, the cross member in this suspension is too tall and is aluminum so I can't cut and weld with my equipment. Also, the design would be completely changed from as designed by smart people so I am out there.

I was very lucky. I remember the police officer showing up and asked where the driver was. I said I'm the driver and he said no the motorcycle and we stood there looking at it in two pices. I said that's me. He looked at me then the bike and said "how".
I always thought based on a couple other people I knew going over the car might be better than slamming into it.
A lady who reported as a witness said I went over the car about 10-15 feet in the air and landed on my feet and fell back on my butt...just like Hollywood she said...LOL!!
It was cold that night, so I was wearing a helmet that helped a lot because I did fall back and hit my head on the pavement.
 
Grr.. i thought the new season of succession started last night, it's not til the 26th :( Now i have nothing to do at work today... i should gasket match my intake but need to get a electric die grinder (Quieter and not a big compressor at work) and figure the right bits to buy.... I really gotta stop being lazy :)
 
Looks like we will do a bit of thawing this week, day temps above freezing, 12 degrees now
Thats good news, you all have had so much snow this winter, so glad your dodge snow plow is doing good, thats a great machine
 
Like a cat, 8 to go, wow
Just glad you were wearing a helmet... I had a nasty mountain bike crash 2 years ago and shattered my left shoulder (All plastic/metal from collar bone to elbow now) and actually broke my helmet.. i used to almost never wear one.. i am sure glad i did that day. The non stop pain and tingling from nerve damage is getting old though :) When i slide under my car and hit the right angle it's like lightning
 
Well in theory today is the day my two post lift delivers. I ordered it in November. But I also need to backfill ditches we dug this weekend for gutter drains and elec service. I will be glad to get house hot. Right now I just have heavy wire stretched across the ground from box to well house. Once house is hot I can run wire i have prepared from house to well house. I lost a whole week of progress last week to the instructors block I was teaching.
