So glad that you're back home Carl.  Nothing can beat home sweet home.

You're on the road (figuratively speaking) to recovery. I sincerely hope that the real road will welcome you back ASAP.

Great news, Carl. I'd say sleeping in your own bed and eating Lori's home cooking is a winning combo to a successful and complete recovery!

Glad you're home, Carl, heal comfortably and well. Lori, just take a deep breath, time flies when you're busy, things will get back to normal before you know it. Thanks for the updates.

Glad you are home, my friend.   You did great yesterday and for what it's worth to everyone else.  Yes he left earlier than what we thought he moves up and down the stairs, walks fine, and stands without being dizzy or unstable.   It will just take time.

You know we are just down the road so I expect a call if you need anything... Wait... nevermind, I'll stay in touch with Lori...  After all she knows more than you and we did find your son's house with her directions :D   ok, the gps was used to confirm.

Rest up brother!  You're healing very well...  God is good  :cooldude:

Glad to hear it!
Keep us posted on your progress.
Some explanation of what happened to you would be great. A lot of us are diabetics too!  :o

I have little or no recollection of the incident.  What I do have is possibly diluted by what I've heard of eye witness accounts.

I tend to discount the initial reports of the low occurence of my blood sugar, although let me emphasize how important it is for us diabetics to snack as needed and be aware.  The rear tire blew either spontaneously or resulting from a sudden puncture (rip) and deflation.  Due to my proximity (at 70 plus) to a freighter I may have initially misinterpretted the signs of what was happening as wind turbulence.  I lost control.  Damage to the bike indicates the speed may have been reduced before I exited the vehicle.  Maybe not.

I'm sorry I don't have more.  I'm glad you weren't there.  I hope you never are.

God is good.  All the time.

Does the Police report state that?  Loss of rear tire pressure?  It makes more sense to me than low blood sugar, I'm not diabetic, but would think you would feel that coming on.  

Next question, Motorcycle specific or Non-Motorcycle specific tire?

Unknown to me at this time.  Wheel indicates it was fully deflated at time of MC crash.

Falken ZX 512 past the wear bars.  Good tire I tend not to blame it.

Mr Ford, there are 4 officers in this club, oZ the President and 3 worker bee's.    Carl is one of those 3.     He has his fingers in lots of things on the board and doing a Bang up job.

Just got back on the boat in Rio de Janeiro and see this great news. Healing at home beats healing somewhere else any day, all day. After my heart surgery the recovery went into warp speed once I got home. Welcome back Willow and best wishes for a full, complete recovery.

Great news that you are home.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.  Rest up and heal.

It's great to see you posting, Carl. As you know, Laurie has been not only taking care of you but all of us with her informative posts. It's one thing to treat everyone family during good times but during the bad she showed her true colors and took care of all of us while we worried with concern. Welcome home, and if there is anything I can do don't hesitate to ask - mow your lawn? Whatever.  :cooldude:

Carl it is great that you are well enough to be at home recuperating. As Dorothy said "There's no place like home."
Prayers still going out for you and Lori both.

Well.....it's about time you got your butt out of bed and joined the party again! You can only have so much fun for so long ya' know.............
You sound good from what you are writing so far and that's a plus! Keep up the good work.

Carl, so glad that you are posting again.  Don't overdo it and concentrate on getting back to where you were.

I can't speak for Carl but if I were in an accident like this, I would hold off from reenacting what happened and leave it to a later time if at all.  It would create needless stress for me.

Once again, I don't speak for Carl. :)

The massive hole in the center of the tire does indicate "sudden deflation" and the condition of the rear wheel is below poor :( .  It rides a little funny  :coolsmiley: but  Valk's are TOUGH! I've ridden worse  ;)

Well said. I can't speak for Carl either, but from a personal standpoint, I can't remember what happened in my accident either other than a girl ran a stop sign and I hit her broadside. And that was 6 yrs ago. The point is, there's a chance it will never come back to Carl...and sometimes that's for the better.
