Paul they are actually telling me 3 months, but I say 2 because I'll just be locked up in this house for the first 2, I'm just curious is your son able to or still riding?? On Long Island I know several people who have givin up riding as Long Island has gotten to be no different traffic wise than NYC.and that's not to mention your truly putting your life in the hands of all the kids texting and driving,I recently had a girl texting take off my mirror, I was sitting at a light watching her and their was nothing I could do but lean my body toward the passenger seat and hope for the best. Had I been on a bike it mite have been bad!!! I think I may have just found my next rant!!! Seriously though, it's so sad but it's just not safe to ride now. Glad your son is ok .

Hey John. Yes, he's still riding. Had to get a new bike of course, then basically rebuild it from scratch. (Not that anything was wrong with it to begin with, it was just not cool enough. LOL He lives in Mesa, Az, so the traffic is not as bad as NY/NJ... in fact, when he had his accident he was virtually alone on the highway, out in the desert, going to meet my sister (his aunt) who lives in SF. He had a new tire on the back, and pushed the bike too fast, it went squirrely and threw him. He has his good days and bad, but he's still working and still riding. And I totally agree with you about the new crop of drivers (and some not so new) that don't seem to be able to keep the GD phone away from their eyes for more than 10 friggin seconds. You're gonna be fine. Might even take you fishing later this year.
