Sidecar Flip
Living Legend
After reading about Wilbur's friend, I found out a fellow motorcyclist who I know well just wrecked his Triumph. Not just any bike, but the mate to my T100 and sidecar. Tom lives in South Carolina and rides an identical T100 & Spyder sidecar and broadsided an F150 Ford pickup as he was taking a hard turn to the right and the outfit crabbed sideways which a sidecar outfit will do. Tom hit the F150 in the rear wheel well with his sidecar shearing the hack off the bike, totalling the sidecar and the motorcycle. Tom is now sporting a stainless steel plate holding his pelvis together and is on indefinite leave from his job. He told me that besides breaking his pelvis, his sex life has been severly curtailed too. he went to look at the bike when he got out of the hospital and he said there is a big indentation in the tank where his nuts would handily fit.
I still agree with Bart and that is....'it's not if you are going down, it's when'. I hope my 'going down' is in the driveway and I just drop the bike. I might be embarassed but at least I won't be injured.
