Damn. Have you fully recovered? I lost a good buddy to a motorcycle accident 20-some years ago. He was actually the one that got me into riding a motorcycle.

Pretty much. I broke my pelvis in 3 places along with my back so I have some issues once in a while. I couldn't think straight for about a year due to the concussion as well. This happened back in 1979 so it was a long time ago.
 
closes call I have had actually involved my oldest daughter. When she was two months old we were headed to Portland for the Holidays. My wife was staying long then I was so we were taking two vehicles. She complained that our Daughter was going to cry the hole way, but in my truck she didn't . So we switched her car seat to my vehicle. Half way up Santiam something happened to my wives car and she lost control, dry pavement and under 55 mph, and she ended up hitting a tree just right and rolling her car. Everything that was in the back of her Honda CRV ended up where our daughter would have been. The playpen and other items would have all landed on top of her. We were always glad she drove with me. Also bought a gate after that to make sure everything stayed in the back of the SUV instead of flying forward.

For me the worst was when working in a bank had the robber point his gun at me as I was the only guy in the bank. Everyone else came up to me afterwards and told me they thought he was about to shoot.

Glad your fams are ok.

Must have been pretty scary being in a bank robbery. Adrenaline. Gotta keep your cool and just do what is said huh...the money isn't worth your life. So, you didn't get the feeling he was about to shoot?

I was on the ground and he had ordered me to look the other way. So I was not able to see what was going on, they all were able to watch. probably better I wasn't watching.
