Wow! Sissy, Nita, Bobby and I were PUMPED! The whole weekend to ride our bikes in NC. Well, that's until we got to Newnan on I85. Traffic started to slow down on the interstate. We were in the middle lane. Just before we rolled to a stop. A truck with a 3-car hauler trailer rear ended the car behind us. The car slammed into the back of the trailer, and then the truck hit the middle of our trailer. The bikes broke from the tie downs. So in an instant, our truck is damaged, bikes damaged and trailer was a total loss. The axle was broke on the trailer so we removed to tires on that axle and headed straight to the Harley Dealership in Columbus. After borrowing a sledge hammer, we were able to beat the back door open to get the bikes out. Bobby's Dyna Glide was more damaged than my Road King but they can be fixed.
Well, the best thing was none of us was hurt. And the guy in the car only had a broken leg. No one lost their life. So we can Live to ride....Ride to Live another day.
So Bobby and I are looking for another trailer. Maybe a toy hauler. The ladies want bikes so maybe a bigger trailer. It's no hurry since winter is upon us. And we should be able to get a great deal on another trailer this winter.
