Sunflowers version the being bit by the Dragon

I couldnt have told it better myself Michael!
I was going too fast for the curve and I knew it, I should have down shifted to 2nd around that curve...Ive rode the dragon 2 other times, and had no problem with it, but rode it in 2nd, straight always in 3rd. A HUGE lesson learned for me.
Im so glad you managed to go over me too...hitting the mountain probably saved us both. I really have beat myself up over this, as it was your 1st time on the dragon, I felt very bad that you didnt get to finish and slay it.
I wanted to ride further with Flo this year, I was very disappointed in myself for the bad decision I made and the consequences I had to face. I can remember seeing you fly over me..and yelling " Michael, are you ok?" I believe I was in shock, I tried to get up several times, and had to sit back down. Then I seen you and your face bleeding, after the bikes were taken across the street, I heard you talking about your ankle..I was trying to get my DH on anyones cell, wasnt working.
One of the guys rode me to the store, and I used the phone. The paramedic there checked me out, I told her about you, she said we needed to get you down there asap. I was on the phone with my insurance co. about having my bike towed, and one of the ladies said that some of the guys bring trailers just for this purpose, she went out to see if she could find one to help, thats when the guys in the jeep came in place...they rode me back up, got my bike down the mountain, and I had told them about you, that you needed a ride down, so we got ya, and went back down, I went into the store and told her you were there, could she please come out and look at you. Then everyone from the conga started coming in....
Thankful she was there to check us both out.Both of us were very lucky! Minor injuries to us and to our bikes. My bike has to have new windshield, exhaust, saddle bags, highway bars, rear brake light, front fender, rear fender trim, trim on radiator. I hope your recovery is fast and you heal well.
HUGS to you and Marion!!!!
