I wasn't near the computer yesterday, but it was the 1 year mark since my accident.
Amazing how many dead deer have been along the roadside just starting this last week.
Looks like the end of September is the time I stop riding to work (sunrise is occurring during the drive in).
Other than some slight scars on my hand, no lingering side effects.
Wish I had made more progress on the GTR, but right now the cylinders are in for plating, new pistons are enroute from Richard, and I have the spare reproduction connecting rods just in case. I still need to pull the engine out of the frame and clean the left crankcase out. Hopefully more progress during the late fall months.

Geez,
Did I jinx myself?
I had to pick the dogs up from the kennel a few minutes ago (so it's dark).
1 mile from home a big raccoon ran in front of the car just as I was staring into an oncoming car's headlights.
It made some good thumping sounds - got home to see the lower front valance (grill) has several cracks in it and the underside plastic engine guard is cracked too. Probably well enough over the insurance deductible to make claim.
