Jason Anania was making his comeback debut in Arizona when after a 10 month coma

had sidelined the lad because a SUV had blown a traffic light and hit him and his Triumph Bonneville

SE, he was back in the saddle,

you ain't going to believe what happened next.

A commercial dump truck mowed down 10 motorcyclists at a red light.

The driver as you well know was a Meth Head and blamed the initial incident on shuffling through

shipping papers.

The Arizona Republic quoted him as saying ,"I'm not saying helmets would have saved the 4 that died

but if I wasn't wearing one I'd be dead".

He remembers the group leader looking over her shoulder and yelling,"LOOK OUT", that was the last

thing she said.

He's back on his new bike a Iron H-D 883, and the first ride out a truck in the lane closest to him

in the oncoming traffic lane blew a tire and almost took him out again.

But now he wears bright clothing and boots and a real good helmet to improve his odds.

He lived through the tragedy we all heard, and read about and is back in the saddle, Good Luck

Jason.

Unbelieveable but you can read the article in the Motorcyclist OCT. 2010 issue on page 94.

Lived in the Phoenix Metro area for a dozen years.  Gave up cycling while living their, the heat coming of the Freeway was like an unending blast furnace on high.
Way too hot for leathers.
Sorry hear about of brothers who were hit by a met-head.

If I was him, I believe it is time to hang up the leathers.
