Well @^*&#@^%!*&

[Logan]

No more Harley F150.

Some dick just about did in your favorite webmaster by T-boning my Harley with his 18 Wheeler...

Truck is royally F'd up...Totalled without a doubt. Both drivers side tires were popped completely off the truck, brake rotors still sttached.

I got spun around, forced into a ditch, damn near flipped over and bounced back out onto the street.

18 wheeler had a bent bumper.

Lesson for the day:

Don't get hit by a 18 wheeler.

[martyo]

Holy ****z!! Thank god you are OK!!! I'll sue the bastard for you, if you want.

[MAD-3R]

Are you OK?

[Jay Stark]

Thank god your here to tell us about it. There is always another truck. Take a few advils and relax!

[Logan]

For now, I'm OK. Got hit pretty good with an airbag deployment, so that'll take a little bit to work through my system before I know if there's any long term damage, but no broken bones or pains... Just a few abrasions and some dull aches.

[MAD-3R]

Hmmm Truck gone. Do you still need the carrying capacity?

[TAF]

Man, sorry to hear this Logan. But glad to hear you're O.K.

The bright side about being hit by a commercial vehicle though, is more than likely better (and mandatory) insurance on their side. I know in TX, when I lived out there, there are LOTS of uninsured...

I was just at the dealer an hour ago dropping off parts for my install on Saturday, and one just like yours caught my eye and I went over and was going through it. Hopefully, they'll get you fixed up quick, cause she sure is a beauty!

Keep us updated.

[2003 MIB]

Where were you Logan???

[MERCMAN]

Well, FMC has another one on the books for safety. glad you are OK(and that is was the truck instead of the MM :) ) Lucky for you that weren't in a Mini-Cooper or even worse.. A RICER

[nhinterceptor]

WOW! What is going on lately??? :(

Logan very pleased to hear you appear to be ok. I take it you were by yourself. Take some time relax and reflect.

Best Wishes,
Dan

[Hemlock]

ITS GOOD TO KNOW YOUR OK . CALL ME IF YOU NEED ANYTHING .

[01 Interceptor]

Glad to hear you are uninjured. Hope things go your way and you can get another truck to replace it, and some extra money for yourself to enjoy.

[Dr Caleb]

Whoa bud. Good to hear you're reasonabally intact. Yet another soldier dies protecting it's occupants.

If you need anything, like an extra set of boxers, feel free to ask!

[Constable]

Or some carpet shampoo & leather cleaner, for that matter! Glad to hear you made it out relatively uninjured. Good luck.

[jrzygrl]

Good to hear you were not seriously injured. Take it easy though, you'll start to feel it tomorrow guaranteed, I speak from experience. The truck can be replaced. YOU are more important at the moment.

[MM03MOK]

Logan .... ^^^ditto^^^ to all said above. Take it easy and get some rest. Thank God you're here to tell the tale! Unbelievable. You can't be replaced!

[amerikan]

Logan really sorry to hear about this... but all that counts is that youre alright.

[engine23ccvfd]

Logan glad you are OK....You have learned a valuable lesson called the lug nut rule.... The more lugs you got the better off you will be:) Learned that one in extrication class and it is pretty dang true!

[LincMercLover]

Damn... Here I thought we were gunna get yelled at cause Cole took his business some place else! *Cough cough* But damn, didn't expect this! Glad to hear you're all right! Just take it easy for awhile. You'll get your truck back, plus more. Just glad to hear I didn't become the soul administrator of MM.net. ;)

[prchrman]

Glad you are ok...get in a hot tub to help keep the muscle aches down...sorry about your calamity...

[O's Fan Rich]

Glad you're ok, Logan. 18 wheelers are not things to mess with. Sheesh, been a bad few weeks for the boards' rides.

[WolfeBros]

Logan......sorry to hear this but thankful that you are ok. Let me know if there is anything that I can do.

[MI2QWK4U]

Logan, glad you are ok, sounds like one hell of a hit. From experience, most dont fair as well against a Semi. Thank God you were in a decent sized truck. Take care of yourself, like others said, you will be sore tomorrow...
Dave

[RoyLPita]

At 1st I thought the same as LML, but geez, thank the Lord above for this. He was definitely watching you on that day. Is this a sign to come back to a MM??? I'm very glad to hear that even the President of the Site can come out of this unscathed.

No, Stan said that to Cartman right after he finished yelling at Mr. Garrison through the megaphone... Geez...

[Bigdogjim]

Very gald to hear your were not a statistic!

Now you don't know me (yet) and don't owe me BUT please get to a doctor and get check out. I have seen first hand too too many drivers get hit hard and have problems later.

Imperative you take care of #1 NOW!!!

As a member of the MM.net I stand ready to assist in any way I can.

Take care.

Respectfully
Big Dog

[drobin]

Logan, sure glad your alright and still in one piece. I wish someone would find that black candle and blow it out. With all the accidents lately, I'm afraid to drive out pass my garage... Man, what a RUSH...............


Donald

[Marauder57]

Dude...you are some kind of lucky....usually the 18 Wheeler duel is only talked about at 11:00PM on the news.....Get yourself a nice place rest, get some advil and a decent movie and get comfortable.....

Obviously the good man above has other plans for you:
- Kept ya around a little longer...
- He wants you to get a Marauder again... :D

Take some me time...and don't move to fast......

[gonzo50]

"Holy-Crap", :eek: Damn Logan, man I hope you are doing well now and later because what you don't feel now, believe me, you'll feel it later, thats talk from a similar bad experience.
Like Bigdogjim stated, go see a doctor, please.
God Bless You and take care.
Sorry for the lost of the F-150. :cry:

[Petrograde]

WOW! that sucks! It's amazing you walked away with only some dull aches,.. may I suggest about a half a bottle of Cabo Wabo Tequila,.. that usually makes me feel better! lol

[Dr Caleb]

Listen to BigDog and gonzo. I've been in several major t-bone accidents, and been nailed by a pickup in a crosswalk - the damage is apparent later, not right now. Now is still shock and confusion and crazy emotions.

Don't make us come over there and drag you to a Doctor. :)

[JGaignat]

^^^What the doctor said^^^

Glad you're OK. Do as others have said.......See a doctor. You may feel fine now, but you may not be able to get out of bed without screaming in agony tomorrow. Muscle relaxers can work wonders. (I know) Sorry about the ride.......but most important, the truck can be replaced.......YOU Can't....I'm sure your family would agree with your .net family.

Good luck
(Valium was my personal favorite muscle relaxer)

[UncleLar]

I'm sorry to hear you were hit,but am glad it wasn't worse.Don't be in any hurry to do any settlements with the insurance company,wait a few weeks to see if any injuries,(I hope there are none),aches or pains manifest themselves.Believe me ,I settled in a hurry back in 1982 when a supposedly terrific Dr. said my neck was okay after a guy rear-ended me,(he actually hit me TWICE),I can't sleep on my left side without waking up to a terrific neck ache,if I'm lucky enough to catch one forming 6 Anacin may quell it,if not I'm miserable for a month or more. Settle in haste,repent at leisure.
I wish I could afford to buy the HD F-150 if they total it,the eng,trans and computer,etc. would be really nice to have in my Expy.

[chapel1]

Logan,Wow!Take care and count your blessings! Gary Chapel

[Marauderman]

Man--thats a lot of post to read ------SORRY LOGAN!!

I , like you , have an F-150 , although not the same features, but built the same style body --Supercrew-
and just yesterday--was reading in the paper the F150 Supercrew Body style rated as top of Fords list amoung others of course, but still singled out just the same, , as a 5 Star rating ..etc, etc..

And it has definately proven it...man ,, glad to hear your ok--and I too have that same structure around me...Like you--already had mine (last March-) ..we're getting picked off like our men over seas....

All be careful--and Logan--keep good records of all you do following this ,,--still haven't settled anything since my March accident as yet....Good luck and keep us posted....Tom...

[Grasshopper]

I'm no doctor, but if you have a sudden urge to buy a ricer with a giant fin and coffee-can mufflers, you probably have a concussion! All kidding aside, glad you are ok, and sorry about the F150, she was beautiful. Take care of yourself, and keep us updated.

[Logan]

Woooooooooo doggy, what a day. Timing is kinda weird as I'm headed off to Montreal for 10 days Friday evening, so it's not like I needed the truck anyway...

Thanks for all the words and thoughts. By the time I had things organized this afternoon, it was too late to see my doctor today, but I'll be visiting him tomorrow morning, it's just the prudent thing to do for liability, health and evidentiary purposes...

We'll see how it goes, right now, based on my own inspection, the drivers frame rail was actually torn/split in one spot, the rear axle assy destroyed, along with the driveshaft, the engine went to WOT after it ditched for no apparent reason it took me a minute to shut it down as I was pretty dazed, the two left rims were sheared right off the truck, one of which was under the rig, the other, down the street, both with rotors still attached to them... The bed on the truck is destroyed, the cab is relatively unscathed, but the frame, suspension and possibly the drivetrain is screwed royally. Both airbags deployed too.

Knowing the values on alot of this stuff, my initial estimate puts the damage north of $24-27k. His damage, well, a bent bumper. Pretty confident it'll be totalled.

Who knows, maybe I WILL go buy another marauder for $21-22k!! :) After being in an accident like that, I don't know I can bring myself to roll in another F150 for a little while... Ah well, we'll see what happens in a few weeks. I'm just glad the rest of the family wasn't with me at the time...

Again, thanks for the thoughts and advice.

[SergntMac]

Man-oh-man, I didn't read this...Logan!

I'm glad to hear that you seem to feel okay after all of this. Please give your injuries 24-36 hours to surface. I'm betting you'll be quite sore everywhere, for the next few days.

You'll get another truck, Logan, for sure. But, where do WE find another Logan, eh?

So, once you recover from this mess, you'll have to stop this silly "field testing" of your "mass vs. mass, there can be only one" stuff. It's a given, I buy it, K? What don't you get. You trying to turn this into a fetish of some kind?

Go on and recover from this, sounds like quite an impact, the kind that can rattle the pumkin. Once you have...You buy a Marauder. And, you don't want another one, do you?

Get a grip already, K? 18 wheelers don't wear leather bras, stilletos, or swipe at you with a cat 'o nine tails. They don't play, they just plain ****** you up, period. Take one on and it's full bore WWF "no rules" when you think it's a just a friendly game of Scrabble. Just stop it now..."I don't want to have to pull this car over!" You can't keep this s**t up, Logan, it's gonna leave a mark!

J/K...I am really glad you're okay enough to share this with us. I am not that "young" anymore, something like this would have left me broke. I hope you are really okay, and while you're on the mend, maybe you should just chill with us a while, eh?

[RCSignals]

Thank god your here to tell us about it.

My thought exactly.

Sorry this happened Logan. I guess you won't be needing the keys in that eBay auction now......

Take it easy for a while.

[the fat bastid]

i was on the highway the other day and i saw an 18-wheeler rearend a sedan and turn it into a coupe.

it sounds like you got a real bad hit but could have been worse.

glad you are ok man.

[Logan]

Sarge, you're one of a kind man.... :lol: In a good way though. :)

[Jeff]

Glad you walked away from it! Sorry about the FINE truck. One of my co-workers has one; sure is sweet.

[MAD-3R]

Newtons fourth law.
The law of Supirior Mass. An object bigger then you has right of way.
Learn it, live it.

[Bob Mathis]

Logan, Man I'm so very glade you are OK! I know that we all are glade you'll alright. But I'm sure your family is very relieved. They need you and you need them and that's what count's too. The man up stairs was watching over you. Don't you think? I'll talk to you later and take it easy for a day or so. I know you have been told by other's to see the doc. that's what you need to do. Take it from some one who has had some very hard landings from helicopter that fall fast from the sky and hit hard.
Take care Bob

[rumble]

Logan, sincerest condolences from myself and my wife. Since we are some of the (probably) few on this site who have had the pleasure of meeting you and eyeballing your neat ride, we feel a deep sense of both tragedy for what happened and relief that it was not worse. Glad to hear that you will be visiting a doctor before taking a trip out of the country. As many folks here have said, the aches and pains will come later. Since you will probably be on some kind of proscribed medicine I think it only right that I
try and do my part to help you out. Therefor, tonight before I retire, I plan to consume a "medicinally" measured amount of good Irish Jameison whisky to toast your continued good health.
Hey, it's the least I can do.
Get well and have a safe trip.

[BUCKWHEAT]

Logan, really sorry to hear about the T-bone. Enjoyed meeting you and seeing the truck at John Eagle LM several weeks ago. You have to rest. The pain usually starts after several days out. So take care of yourself. Gee, that really was a nice truck.

[cruzer]

Logan, WOW !!! Glad to hear you are O K. Was talking to Bob at John Eagle and he didn't say anything about you. Just take it easy and enjoy your family for a while--give your mind and body time to heal. If you need anything, I'm available, Maury

[cyclone03]

Logan glad your ok.
I'm guessing you didn't have the family with you?
Thank GOD.

[JHD7001]

Nuff said. Nice to meet you, good to know I didn't learn about you in the past tense.

If I may, careful with the percodans/percocets, they stop you up & make you mean as hell.

Get a reference for a good chiropractor, too many quacks out there. Get one that will accept a letter of intent to pay on settlement.

Accept no passive therapy.

Know you may have a hard row to hoe for the next few years.

[bnvus]

Jezus! Glad to hear you are okay!

What is it about this summer? It seems there are more accidents happening to the members of the board. I am just about to leave for vacation on Sunday. Better believe I will be extra careful.

Hope everyone else has a safe summer.

[VERN]

Logan,
Sorry to hear about your truck..
But at least you're OK. You can always get another truck. YOU can't be replaced!

Vernon

[bchapman]

Wow, Logan -- glad to hear you're ok. Good thing you were in a Harley Truck and not on a bike. Have you thought about getting a Humvee? In black, of course ;)

I hope you're feeling back to normal soon.

[2003_MM_FYRE49]

Look at it this way Logan, you made it out OK, and the truck can be replaced...at a premium I might add courtesy of the trucking company ;) By the way, was it a gravel bomber that hit you? Just curious, because they are the most dangerous drivers around where I live. In the town I work for, if a gravel bomber causes and accident he gets an automatic wreckless driving charge. :banana:

Tim

[Racerx88]

WOW !!!!!! What's going on with all the members of this board getting clobbered lately?!

Logan...glad you're OK.
I'm sure I don't have to say that if you need any help for anything, your Texas members are here for you!

[SILVERMARAUDER]

WOW sounds like you went for ride! I have been in several altercations and no fun glad you are still with us!

[Fourth Horseman]

Damn, Logan, I'm really sorry to hear your new truck died so young. :depress:

It's been kind of lousy time for us mm.net people the last little while, huh? :alone:

[seabreeze]

1. Logan, thank who or whatever you believe in that you're here to tell the story.
2. Thank Ford for their stout trucks - had a chance to work on the P225 on which the Harley SuperCrew is based - It's a winner.
3. The '04 Marauders sound like a great alternative for the family hauling, and double 5-star to boot!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

[JamesHecker]

I am sorry to hear about this Logan, but I'm quite happy to hear that you are relatively unscathed. As said here before, it is a lucky thing that you were in a vehicle with a good safety rating. Also it's a good thing you weren't going any faster than your guardian angel could fly.

It is disconcerting to see so many reports here lately of accidents, but I suppose it is due to the fact that we are becoming a large and widespread community.

Hope you feel well, recover quickly, and replace your truck with another Marauder ;)

God Bless.

[White Knuckles]

Sorry to hear of your mishap and glad you were able to walk away. Nasty business tangling with 18 wheelers.

Since it sounds like you may be in the market for a new vehicle, its interesting that Ford has upgraded from the F150 to F250 for 04 HD series. I saw some photos from an unveiling of the new 04 HD F250 at a California Bike show (bikernet.com).

As you sort out your vehicle situation -------- here is a photo for you to ponder:)

[Smokie]

Logan I will repeat what already has been said: I am glad you are ok; even though I'm sure you don't feel that anything is ok right now. You still get to hold your wife and baby and you continue to provide us lucky stiffs with a forum for our cars that is second to none. I deeply regret the loss of your truck and am very grateful YOU were not lost.

[Logan]

The swelling on my arm's down, and it's just starting bruise and the pain's pretty much gone, so that's good. Doctor said it should be fine in a day or two...

Not really worries about the truck at all, I'm up here in Montreal visiting friends and family... Say.... Don't I have a Montreal Marauderer around here somewhere??

[Long Live #3]

Isn't it weird that I had just put up a post on how great you guys are and this happens all of a sudden?

[Logan]

I paid less than $32k here in Texas, won't be a big deal getting another one.... :) Though, It may just be a sign that I should get another marauder in time for the round up eh? ;)

[MM03MOK]

Good to hear no long term injuries...

You're looking for Steve - TooManyTransAms :)

[TripleTransAm]

Well what a coincidence. Logan, I don't know if you're still in town, but I've just sent you a PM and hopefully we can hook up.

[jgc61sr2002]

Logan - Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad to see you are feeling better and enjoy your vacation.
