Near-Death Experience

I know that these are not the greatest pictures, but see that motorcycle underneath the Explorer? That was Jody's Harley. WAS. And thankfully, Jody didn't end up underneath there with it. He was slowing up to turn into our neighborhood, and the kid driving the Explorer apparently wasn't watching the road and rear-ended (more like ran over) Jody on his bike. Jody fell off to the left, rolled off the road, and the Explorer swerved off the road to the right and wrapped around the utility pole. Needless to say, the bike was totalled, but (THANK GOD) Jody just had minimal injuries. And I'm even more thankful that Jody has decided to wait and not get another motorcycle for a while! The sad thing about it: we had just (only like 2 weeks before) spent almost $700 on a new seat and sissy bar so that I could ride with him. I'd had my helmet for only about a week, and I'd only ridden on the bike one time - up and down our street the Sunday afternoon before the accident. Oh well.... One good thing about all of this: we're going to use part of the insurance money to buy us a boat! (Woohoo!)
