A bump in the road or, was that a pot hole? (Page 1/1)

Long story, short version. Was just finishing up the last leg of a four day trip on the fat lady, my Valkyrie, Just getting into Louisville headed east. Saw a long black strip of what appeared to be new asphalt in front of me. I'm thinking, no problem, new asphalt is usually smooth and not rutted by traffic tires. Had traffic on both sides of me so, continued forward at the posted speed limit.

It was smooth as glass and then all of a sudden the front end dropped, the forks bottomed out and then she started to nose up. Obviously, the rear end followed in short order. Not sure how high she got but we were definitely airborne for a short time.

All I'm thinking is hold her tight. Then I realized about the time we did a two point landing that Evil Knevil would have been proud of. But, that thing that just bounced off my helmet was my cell phone, jumped right outa my pocket and landed who knows where..... It slid somewhere at a speed of 60+mph for a while until the next group of cages rolled over it. Twas not a pretty site once I recovered it.

Regardless, in that phone was every important contact I have to include my Fiero friends. Found out that none of that precious information was in the "cloud" as it was supposed to be.....

So, here's my personal request. Those of you who don't mind giving me a shout, email or PM, I'd love to get my friends contact information again. You know who you are.....

Your carrier should have this information.

Glad you are good. Being airborne is great when you plan it.

I thought there was at chance of that but, no such luck. Was suggested that everything was stored in the cloud. Ok, I have some kind of account in the "cloud". Apparently, I haven't or didn't set it up correctly, hell if I know. The cloud had no silver lining or, information provided. So, I'm hoping my Fiero friends will reconnect with me.

When you re-load the numbers, the phone will ask if you want to save the number to the phone, or google. Put it in google.

THAT saves it to the cloud, so the next phone you loose (and the one after that, and the next one after that 2nd one too ) will sync up the contacts as soon as you log into yopur account with that 761,351st phone down the line. (No, dont ask how I know)

Have you pulled the Sim card and checked that for the contact information? If not do so, you might be surprised.

Nope, but I gave the damaged phone to an I.T. gent I know who is going to try to recover my contacts and pictures.
Have had several Fiero friends contact me via PM, text and email. I appreciate it.
Just a bump so that some of my Fiero friends will see and respond to this thread.
