sorry to hear you had such a harrowing experience...

John had a happy ending to this story but Steve Ozdemir definitely
did not!
Shorty after successfully dropping off John's machines he was
rear-ended by a speeding Blazer and was very lucky not to be
injured, unlike the 2 adult occupants of the Blazer who were taken
away unconscience after being thrown from their vehicle (i.e.
idiots with no seat belts on besides driving like lunatics!).
The Bandido was reduced to kindling, the trailer was totalled,
$3500 in damage to his Steve's wife's car but Steve was thankfully
uninjured (just pissed as hell!)
So no Bandido for Steve and no more long road trips if his wife has
anything to say about it...
