Coming home from Johnstown, getting on the PA. turnpike. Not sure which lane to get into. Started to turn in to a restaurant area (right turn) and I guess I failed to see the van that pulled up beside me. Handlebar hit the side of his door and pretty much went down the side of the van. Riding two up, held bike up wife and I not hurt so that is the good news. Bad news is I busted a mirror (have new ones ordered), and rubbed front of front fender on something. Went down to the primer. For now I put some chrome flames from one of dawg's graphics on the front fender to hide most of it. Not real happy with it but until I paint front fender gonna have to do.

That was a close call glad to se you're ok.On sunday i got crapped on by a seagul,down my whole right arm.And later that day,my wife and i both had to duck,out of the corner of my eye i saw a wild turkey get up and start to fly across the road.We both felt the wind of him flapping his wings over us,if we did'nt duck,we would of hit it and who knows what would of happened after that.
Reb,you still gonna make it on sunday without a mirror?
