Standing around campfires tellin' stories sometimes the "Cow Accident" will come up..... was a wierd one. No meat was given out black and white heifer in "heat" for the first time.

purchased in Nov'10- waiting through the winter was a tuff one.

Similar here... mine was purchased in Nov./Dec. of 2009, and had to wait till February for the first boat/shipment from Germany. At least you got to see and touch one before buying.

So if you put down some beers around a campfire, and then start talking about a cow you took out on your bike that was heat... where does that lead to

Compression fractures in my back; bruised lung, broken ankle, collar bone dislocated, both shoulders dislocated, 7 stitches in my knee, internal bleeding from my spleen (removed), broken helmet-4 days on a respirator……

The weird part was I helped load the bike into the back of the truck, and almost talked the wife into going to the hospital in the morning since the ambulance was lost. State Patrol told me to wait- they would be here soon. Never thought you could be so damaged and “think” your OK.
