Ouch!

This morning as Dylan (with Raquel riding on the front of his motorcycle) was stopped with his blinker on waiting to turn right into our driveway (that's like a left hand turn in the States) a guy on another motorcylce going too fast tried to pass them on the right. Instead of passing, he hit them knocking their bike over and went crashing down himself. Thankfully Dylan was able to hold onto Raquel as they went down and all she has is the road rash she proudly displays below. Dylan took the brunt of the fall and has several scratches and bruises all over especially his shoulder and knee. Praise the Lord there was no serious injury. There was an older man who saw the whole thing and stopped to give the man who hit them an earful. He defended
Dylan and loudly reminded the speeder that our road is not a racetrack. (People go way to fast down our road). We're so thankful that he was there as a witness and that he was on our side. God is good all the time!

Glad you both are ok! I think maybe we need to send over a big box of band-aids and one of those slow children signs:)

I got in a car accident in Nicaragua by hitting two off duty cops - it's pretty scary! Even if you're in the right, it's nerve wracking because you're not on your home turf to defend yourself.
