So I've been helping the family a bit and also my schedule has switched to 4 10 hour days a week for the summer. So the last week or so has been a bit hectic.
All in all, things are better then they could have been. Even the bike came out alright and should cost us less then $300 to bring back to like new condition.
The cause of the accident was heat exhaustion. It was one of the day's were it was around 98f and between her ridding in town with her proper gear on and the fact that her bike had a full windscreen (which won't be replaced), she just got too hot and greyed out in the middle of a mild corner. She managed to "come to" enough to dump the bike before she could hit anything and she was at low speed (30mph or so). So, now she's just ready to get the leg healed up so she can get back on the bike.
Been a wild week and let this be a lesson folks. Learn to notice the sings of the heat getting to you. Even though my mother had been making stops to keep herself hydrated, she didn't really notice that she was getting as weak as she was. The crash happened just 3 miles from her house. Keep this in mind as you work on your cars or if you are out on a bike. Even though the top is down on the cabby's you are still subject to the heat, sometimes even more so than if the top was up. Just be careful out there.
