Title: Optimist.
Post by: minnesotamonster on November 26, 2013, 07:54:34 AM
I'd like to share a pretty inspirational story about a local ducati owner who is one of the most optimistic guys I've ever met. He was hit by a cager making an illegal u turn this summer and the local news did a story on him.

Awesome. That X-Ray is incredible. So cool that he invited the guy that hit him out for a beer, very inspirational!

Great attitude.  [thumbsup]

I'd still sue the asshat that caused it all though (provided there weren't any weird circumstances that would make me feel sorry for the guy). People need to learn to pull their head out of their ass before getting behind the wheel.

Many  [thumbsup]   [clap]  and   [beer]  to Charles Rutherford!  Good on Charlie for finding it in his heart to forgive the SUV driver.  As far as suing the other driver goes, well, that is what insurance is for.

Minor adjustment.   ;D

Great story... Definitely needs to be shared.  I love the carbon fiber, the brake line, and the Ducati Corse sticker on the prosthetic!!! [thumbsup]
