We were all tired after a long hot day of riding and were cruising back to the lodge to hop in the pool. One misjudged corner and wham. Simple mistake that anyone could of made.

Get off the subject. I never made an excuse for why i crashed. Marko doesnt like me, i shed a tear over it and go on with my life, thats great. if he wants to dwell on that let him go.
Thanks for stickin up for me trip, but honestly, its just a crash. we all go down, and its always avoidable. I took a lot from this wreck, and it was like an epiphany. It told me i really cant learn much more on the street, and thats something i think i already knew anyways.
I hear SBG is having a rally this month, marko, if you really want to get to know some riders that never take risks and dont push themselves.

thx rae.
on a side note, she also gave me a free room and a ride to wheelers in the morning.
Reba, at philips motel, will be one of my first stops next year. I was overwhelmed by her generosity.
