Bad luck comes in threes ?

I hope so, first it was the sewer at the house, then my wife tried stump jumping it the PT cruiser, had to replace the rear axle beam. Then today, cruising up 75 north bound from Bradenton, when a truck lost a piece of steel pipe and I caught it dead center of the radiator. Thank fully missed the grill and the oil coolers, but punched a 2 in hole in the radiator. So had to be towed home, now gotta fix the dang truck. Guess the good part is I was not on the bike, or would be getting a pipe removed from my navel.
And NO, I was not behind him, lane to the left going to pass him. Just a 2 foot piece, but started flipping down the road when it fell off.


Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you're in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Man, that really sucks but glad you were not on the bike.
Sorry to hear Bill, hope it is not too expensive of a replacement

Pappy!

Well Hell, Grumpster, you're good to go for the rest of the year now! Glad it didn't come through the windshield.

Sherry said poor Grumpster after I read that to her. At least Bill Jr's surgery went well, i know that was a worry for a time. That is the important one.

Hope you are right and all the bad luck is over for this year Bill.   As others said could have been much worse.  It will be an easy fix for you.

REALLY glad to hear that it hit the radiator, and not the windshield. Radiators can be quickly replaced. You, not so much. Hope this is the end of the BL.
