100 DEGREE temp with a heat index leval orange. HEAT STROKED OUT sittin atta a red light. unconsious in and out 3-4 hours.

EVENTS LEADING UP TO DIVIN OVER the handlebars.
i had been outside for 4 days lifting heavy stones for a patio i was building.
i had drank lots of water,v8, and orange juice.
I first noticed something wrong when i relized i had not gone pee from 6:30 am to 6;30 pm. I told my wife(deb) i sure feel good i havent felt this good since i been 30 years old. ( musta been that addrelin stuff). the next morning i was looking at my cell phone and said Breezie whois Breezie . my wife said are u going nuts whaddiya meen who is breezie he is the dude you ride with. i stepped on the back poarch and was pondering what she meant dude i ride with. i thought i dont carpool with no one. i remember i parked my brand new 1983 honda car at the same spot i always parked. I went thru the list in my brain of all the construction workers who worked for me(about 120) and still couldnt figure who she ment the dude i ride with. I was the construction super. on that project in 1983. that is where my brain was at. never had a clue she ment the dude i ride scoots with. (he has a 1500 kawasaki)
I told her i feel a lil dizzy and decided not to ride to oakcliff about an hour to where i was going. Lil while later i just got on the bike in my shortsleeve britches and rode off. naturally no helmet. i was on interstate 20 comming up on a semi and remember pondering i wonder what that thing is in front of me . i looked down at bthe speedometer and relized i was going 80 miles an hour and snapped back to attention. lil while later i got off interstate and was stopped at a red light. and started thinking i feek dizzy or something again. next thing i knew a Dr. was trying to wake me and was asking if i knew my name . i didnt. then he asked if iwas married hard as i could think i didnt know if iwas married or not.
next day i called the cop at scean. he said car behind me called it in. said i was snortin my pipes for a lil kid inna car next to me on left. when for no reason he said i just stood up and fell forward face first into pavement.10 days later i was still very week. havent been back on scoot yet. front brake lever is broke off. couple small dings in tank. and the redneck who hauled my bike to city pound put strap tears across the front of the seat. Breezie my riddin bud c ame with picup and trailer to rescue. when we got to the pound the holes at pound wouldnt let him come help me load it .THEY made me load it by my self. hadnt been around site all summer sorry to arrive with bad news.
