Another one bites the dust:(

Well, my mint GSL-SEs' life has ended. Rearended by my friend. It is totalled....I got a DUI.....But both of us are alive and I DEFINATLY learned my leason.

A car pulled out in front of me and I locked them up. My buddys RX has **** for brakes and tires. So he swerves, looses it and brings her right back into the side of me. ROCKED MY WORLD!! Few cuts and brooses... I had a few beers, I wasn't drunk, but according to the WV I was over my limit.

I'm not sure why I am disclosing all of this.......... I guess to vent....

I will get another RX someday but it is going to be AWHILE!! Considering I loose my liscense for 6 months I will be riding a bicycle 7 miles to work every day.

Please don't be stupid like I was. I never thought it hurt to drink a few as long as I wasn't drunk. But you don't have to be drunk to get a DUI. If my friend would have died I would be going to prison for a long time.

Everyone be safe and responsible... and God Bless!!

Some lessons in life are hard to learn, took me a couple of times before it soaked in.

Glad to hear eveyone is ok. Sucks to tear up 2 7's at the same time, but hang in there, and you'll be back.

Post some pics if you can. Visual statements have much more impact (no pun intended) than the written word.

If you can ,please arrange to ride with the police at night ,or with an ambulance crew. if you do you may never touch another drop. It is an eye opening experience. As an old cop, I think that should be part of the sentance.
