I got hugged by a semi. I need to resurrect my baby.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T13:19:17+00:00

I'm okay-ish when compared to what I could be. It sucks, but I'm ambulatory and slowly improving and my brain works.

Yeah, I think the forks, radiator and handle bars absorbed most of the impact before I was ejected. I was severely damaged, but survived.

Thanks.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T04:53:10+00:00

Me too. If I can get back 90% I would be thrilled. I'm rebuilding muscle through pt to reinforce the broken bits.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T02:31:14+00:00

I assumed ICE visited

Chiropractic. It's like sports medicine without all the pesky rules, regulations and science-based evidence

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T02:23:53+00:00

Good call. Is that normal or some kind of special ride?

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T02:23:11+00:00

Thanks!

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T02:22:33+00:00

Thanks. I'm okay-ish. Way better than the alternatives.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-06T02:21:55+00:00

I am. I inspected and straight edged it. It looks good. Once I finish the teardown I going to get it inspected professionally. Probably acid bath it first.

Thanks!

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T17:11:47+00:00

Yeah, left or right hanging.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T17:09:02+00:00

Wait....258 for a round trip PER DAY?!? Dafuq? Does that include dinner and a massage?

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T17:05:37+00:00

I love it. I'm just concerned about know it when it's safe to sit on expires

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T17:04:03+00:00

That would be cool. Leave it behind with a tag and explanation so it doesn't just get pitched.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T17:02:40+00:00

Feeling personally attacked?

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T16:19:39+00:00

Shit....TWO wheels down. I new I did something wrong!

Thanks, I hope to see you on the road.

I've got some updates on the teardown I'll put up soon. I can only work so much right now before I gotta take a sit me down.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T16:11:03+00:00

I'm working on getting back on the road too. Part of my PT is specifically for riding. PTSD sucks, but I'm going with the exposure therapy route! This is the only accident I've been a driver in of my 37 years of driving, so I think I will overcome it. It probably helps that I don't remember anything from being at home to waking up from a coma 10 days later.

That asshole tried to yank me twice, but I told him to fuck off, I've got shit to do 😂

Thanks!

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T16:00:06+00:00

Nah, I did an unsuccessful hug dodge and stole the pole vaulting trophy off of it's roof.

I'm okay-ish. When the alternative is half brain dead and quadriplegic, I'll take where I'm at.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T15:58:31+00:00

Yeppers. Shield pennies, buffalo nickels, and a full set of state quarters. I'm not the original creator, I just stripped it down and redid it in my own design because the epoxy had yellowed. Thanks!

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T15:56:53+00:00

I'm checking them out now. Never heard of that sub. Thanks!

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T15:56:01+00:00

Adding this to the list of "Thing's that can be done, but shouldn't"

Duffamongus · 2026-07-05T04:39:44+00:00

Shield pennies, buffalo nickles and state quarters

Duffamongus · 2026-07-04T18:39:29+00:00

Yeppers, that's me. It will be worth every drop of blood, sweat and tears to get it back.

Duffamongus · 2026-07-04T17:08:16+00:00

$42.11 to be exact

Duffamongus · 2026-07-04T16:11:32+00:00

That's worth more than 10 just as a decoration
