Default Re: Wear your helmet

Wow Dom so sorry to hear about your accident.

One of my ham radio pals (Dave - W9AD) did about the same as you on a ride he does every morning near his home in Barrington Hills.
Dave was going a bit slower and only got road rash and is mending now as well.
He too was glad he had his helmet on and always does on his bike rides.

Here is a link to his motorcycle racing page (he no longer races the motorcycles)

On his antenna page you can see the wonderful home he has in the Hills.

Dave used to work in the AM Radio biz as a radio host but now is in the old family restaurant biz (his dad's biz b4 Dave got into it) and owns 15 Popeyees - 3 in Rockford and the rest in Chicagoland area.

He snowbirds to Morelia Mexico every winter.

and talks to us on the ham radio via his remote control station using Skype for audio link to the Hills home transmitter.

I talk with Dave on the ham radio often in the early morning just before he goes out for his daily bike ride.
BTW he used to be into boats and is a Ferrari owner as well.
