    Default Out of commission!!!

    Haven't been on for awhile, been riding with my Hubby when we can. We took the Indiana ABATE Class beginning of October. I crashed 4 times, but we both passed!!! Now I'm in an air cast on my right foot/ankle because I stretched the ligaments and the inflammation is pressing on a nerve. At least I didn't break anything!!!

    Congratulations on passing the course. I think that most of us are somewhat intrigued about crashing four times. Would you care to elaborate a little?

    The Abate class was in Indiana no further explanation for me.

    I got rear ended by a women in Indiana - 3 times . After the first hit she backed up to flee and hit me again then did it again. Never did get around my car.

    RT-S: HMT brake light, mud flap lights/turn signals, Trailer hitch, Garmin 660 GPS, Ride-On, Travel cover, LED Mirror turn signals, LED trunk lighting, RGB ground effect lighting, BajRon anti-sway bar, to be continued ......

    MSF course, if you crash one time you're done. Ask Bruisersbaby.

    Default Crashing in Indiana

    Having taken the Indiana Abate class a few years ago, I can only assume she crashed during the class... not during the (license) testing at the end of the class. At least I hope so!

    Four times... whew! She must be a tough ole gal!
