Didn't make it to work this morning. Got caught in an ice rut a mile from the house, as did the truck I was meeting and we hit mirrors. Broke his mirror, broke my mirror and shattered my drivers side window. A little glass in my lap, left ear was ringing a little but no injures. A crappy way to start the day for sure.

$400 to repair my truck, my deductible is $500. I could have bought that Walther .22 I've been lookin' at and a brick of Federal target ammo for a little over $400. Sad

Wish it would warm up enough to ride, cages are dangerous. Now that I'm required to tie myself into them I hate driving the damn things even more. tickedoff I guess the ice ruts would suck on the Valk though as would using crutches on ice. Shocked

Same thing happened to my brother in law - except they met head on - totaled his truck and the car the other driver was in. Those ruts can be nasty!

Glad you are ok.

Dang Mike glad your ok.

Gotta watch for flying chunks of ice. Crew had a run to the Interstate last week. 16" big ol chunk of ice blew off a car and went thru a guys window. Nice big hole in his window. Woulda killed his passenger had there been one.
