Jim Polito 5068 2002 connie
Sunday April 12 went to pick up the connie after some engine work done on other coast of florida. I have a small trailer which has always been a challenge to get a bike up into and was riding it up and into the trailer when the front tire slipped and went sideways. It is a short trailer so you have to get up some speed then stop instantly when on it. I can count about ten ways this could have happened and believe me it won't again. When the bike went sideways it tried to fall off of the trailer luckily my left leg was stuck between the bike and the trailer as I fell over with it. Despite several cuts and really large bruises I drove home with a big ice pack taped to my leg and all was ok. I was pleasantly surprised when so many members and friends texted me, face booked me, or any other way to communicate to make sure the CONNIE was ok....oh well we all know how special the concours is but to all of those people YES I AM OK. Ha Ha
