Nothing like being on the side of a busy highway in your underpants.

Mama told you to wear clean underwear for days like this. :good2:

Good luck recooping and have a good vacation.

My mom said that too.  She just passed away 9 days ago...

Wow Billy...I'm very sorry to hear that. :empathy: I am not the least bit prepared for that event in my life.

Spend that time well recovering Stu, the FJ can be rebuilt easy as pie.  :good2:  Very scary incident though.

I agree with your thoughts Ron. Funnily enough Im at the hospital with my dad today getting heart tests etc, and my sister is with my mum getting some biopsies done, both are 83.  Sorry for your loss Billy.

Glad you are ok, and "I was tired, my mind was on other things" is a pretty common reason accidents occur.

Glad you're OK, glad you did not harm anyone else, time to get back in the saddle and ride on.....

Lesson learned, hopefully

Thanks Ron.
She had leukemia for almost 2 years. Thought we had it beat back last summer, then it came back and she finally lost the battle.  It's tough to lose her (age 73) but she was suffering so much the last 2 weeks that it was also a bit of a relief her suffering was over.
