Former Alabama Gov. Riley plans to ride again after wreck

MOBILE, Ala. 
Riley
Former Alabama Gov. Bob Riley says he plans to ride a motorcycle again after recovering from a motorcycle crash in Alaska.

Riley said he didn't think he was hurt at first, but he wound up relying on strangers and fellow riders to get him to a hospital in Anchorage.

Riley says his broken ribs, broken collar bone, punctured lung and other injuries are healing. He says the biggest thing he has to do now is get over the lingering soreness from the wreck, which happened in June.

The 66-year-old Riley left on the long motorcycle ride to the Arctic Circle after leaving office in January. He says he's already picked out a new motorcycle and hopes to ride the Pacific Coast highway next year, perhaps in the spring.
