My husband got T-boned on his Harley a few years ago. He got severely bumped up and the FXR was totaled. I’m grateful Norwood was able to call me from the emergency room to explain why he was late going home, but I’m sad for him and his Harley.
Norwood had rebuilt it by hand, and it had taken him years and thousands of dollars to repair. The guy who hit Norwood didn’t have insurance, so he’s out driving around happy and we’re out a motorcycle, a healthy back and pair of legs, and thousands of dollars in medical bills.
But what goes around, comes around, right? If Norwood DID still have his Harley still, we’d be all over this ride. Because it’s so cool.
