As usual, a few bikes showed up for Rolling Thunder. It was way too sunny for my taste, but some people like that sort of thing. They were even giving out some bandanas, but they had been died red in a less than through way, so they leaked pink when they got wet.
Here was supposed to be the super fun footage of out trip in HD and showing Meg's first time riding her own motorcycle in the parade. Too bad things were too exciting.
When we got to the bridge where people would spread out and get to speed up. This was all going fine until someone in near the end of the bridge slowed down quickly. No idea what it was, but this caused a lot of the people to have to stop quickly. The people next to Meg braked a little too hard and locked his back wheel. To try and avoid hitting the person in front of him he went to move to the side to go around them. Somehow the bike ended-up flipping and rolling over them after she went flying over his head. I didn't see it happen since I was trying to not body-check Bill while we slowed down. I only saw them on the ground and the only thing I could think to say was "Oh no!"
Bill pulled over and hopped off to help them. He helped make sure that no one tried to move them or anything. Other people helped moved the bike out of the way, and some others stopped the traffic. It was nice how everyone's first thought was to go help them. A helicopter was flown in to get them help.
I reviewed what I had been recording and I had gotten it on tape. I turned in my SD card so police could have the footage. A bunch of other people gave their account and SD cards. I was glad I could help, though I sort of hope to get it back with the footage. The first part is of Meg's first time pulling out of the North parking lot. I know it is a silly thing, but it's my way of dealing.
There are so many things going through my head, I just hope they are both going to be perfectly fine.
