Sorry this post is long folks but....

Ouchie...34 years of ridin' and finally got nailed on the north side of Amarillo by an elderly gent. Shoulda' but couldn't avoid his intrusion into my lane from a side road but he did get the citation for an illegal/unsafe turn.....and I got the totalled LT. Plus a few bruises (left cheek) and each ankle fractured...yikes.

Thank God for gear...i'm a non-walkin' case study for ATGATT (though i've certainly cheated at times).

But I digress....I'm alive and happy to be so and wanted to toss out my sincerest appreciation to one of this forum's most congenial and friendly Masters of Assistance.

This guy activated the "deputy5211 LUXURY Medical Transport Service" in less than a day. And get this...he drove 300 miles to pick me up in the hospital, with a bedpad, pillows and sheets/blanket in back so I could ride laying down (remember I cain't walk). But wait, that's not all. He also brung his trailer so I could pick up the trashed LT and bring it on back too. But wait, there's more....then he drove another 300 miles while providing consoling talk from his experience at being dinged by a cager. Don't that beat help and support with a STEEK! Yeah, yeah, no TV in back but came with laptop & Ipod...heh, heh!

It all led up to the safe delivery of Moi' and the ex-Black Beauty back home where anxiety levels finally returned to normal.

Yep, coulda' been worse....but wasn't. Instead I give thanks to God for the miracle it was. And in the confused aftermath of an ambulance and 2 day hospital stay, the best part was knowing there are guys like Tony out there who, without any hesitation, will put that assistance on a STEEK and offer it up fast and true!

I've seen plenty of posts of heroic Masters of Assistance and Humanitarians who go the extra mile, nay hundreds of miles and they each deserve the many kudos they get.

So here's my Kudo to you Tony...straight from the heart brother!!!

Thank you!

PS....my vote for next years MASTER OF ASSISTANCE or Humanitarian or whatever category it oughta be called goes to....tada, Tony.

Glad your doing okay considering BRB.

+1 for Tony. He is Da Man and I can't even say it surprised me.

Good one on you Tony and BRB I hope to hear your up running sprints again in no time and shopping for your next LT. Take it easy and heal fast.

Glad you were not hurt more then you are. and that you your home safe and sound. As for Anthony well that goes without saying !!! Another reason that I'm proud of the people on this forum who will give you the shirt off there back to help. Tony WILL be up for an award if I have anything to say about it.;)

I think I'm gonna buy Tony some chicken fried bacon and show him my steek.

Thank the Good Lord you are OK, brother Bob! And Tony, as always, goes the extra miles and miles and miles. As I said, I heard several inspirational stories at CCR this year, and they keep on coming. Thanks!

Anyone who knows Tony knows that he is one of the BEST around!!! His act of kindness doesn't surprise any of us who truly know him and call him our friend. Praying that you heal and have no complications from the accident. Praise to God that you weren't hurt beyond what you are and while the bike is a loss . . . it CAN be replaced!

That's a quite a tale. You begin to wonder if all the really good people in the world drive motorcycles. This is an exceptional example of how far a fellow biker will go to help. Truly amazing. Hope you heal quickly.

Oh yeah, I'm grateful and happy and as PiePrincess says, I'll heal.

And this threads for Tony....and the many Tony's out there who are already well known and those who may be unknown. Fact is, it's a blessing they're out there folks. I hope noone ever experiences a crash of any kind, but man, you sure can rest easy knowing that if you ever need something.....it's there!

So let's have a lovefest for these folks...'er, a kindfest. Don't want this gettin' outta hand.

My hats off to every Tony that ever assisted a rider in dire need!!! Yep, a Tony Award for every Master of Assistance.

Yeah...Tony certainly is a great guy. He's one of the reasons that this is such a great forum.

Just met BeemerRiderBob going to the CCR. I hate to hear when a good guy has some bad luck. My hats off to Tony for making the best out of the situation for you. If you needs anything from my way just let me know. Many thanks Tony. I ride happier just knowing guys like you are around.
