Women Riders Now
| Getting Past The Road Blocks Physical handicaps aren’t stopping her Cynthia Morgan, Lucedale, Mississippi 8/26/2009 I am a flatbed truck driver. I ride a 2002 Harley-Davidson Road King that I bought from my brother and put 16,000 miles on in the first 13 months I had it. I have only been riding on my own for less than 2 years.
Last November I fell from the top of a loaded flatbed, 7 feet in the air, head first. I shattered both my wrists, broke my nose and took 10 stitches in three places on my face. I had pins and external fixators on both my wrists for 10 weeks and lost all strength and flexibility on both. The doctor said that she doubted that I would be able to return to work till this coming November, if then. She also said that she doesn’t know if I will be able to continue pulling a flatbed because of the physical nature of the job. I may have to go back to pulling a box. read the rest -> Getting Past The Road Blocks |
