Things can go bad quickly

I see a part undamaged. No. Wait. Scratch that.

Completely replaceable car, just an insurance situation. Who gives a schit.

We came to a sharper curve, and he went across the road to the left, and off the road, and the trike rolled over onto him. Several of us stopped, and lifted the still running trike off of him, shut it off, and held is off of him like human tripods. We managed to carefully slide him out from under it as a burns from the hot part or a fire were certainly possible. He was hurt enough he could not stand, and 911 was called. Three guys took turn playing human tripods to keep the bike from rolling down the embankment and onto him.

We kept talking to him to keep him conscious and we learned he drove down from Minnesota, and has ridden Harley's for 50 years, and last year he realized he was too old for a hog, and changed to a trike. He admitted he just went too fast for that curve, and he was going slow.

The cops showed up first, and then the ambulance. I told the cop we were really just poking along, and the cop said they rescue trikes and cars almost every day during the fall foliage peaks. The ambulance took him away and with him out of the way, we uprighted it, and a two truck started loading it.

We got back in our Porsches and drove on to Eureka Springs.

Those things are scary. They handle like a shopping cart.

Ryan Dunn of Jacka$$ fame died in his 2007 GT3 back in 2011.
