No kidding - it take a serious amount of strength to pick up an FJR...especially if it's pinning your head down!
As a matter of fact, I ate large amounts of Seafood during my youth from an area later deemed an EPA superfund site. :nuke: This was due to tremendous amounts of mercury "lost"
oster_oops: by a local chemical plant.
Did you have any sub-frame problems? It looks as though the lower rear frame rail is bent. I am wondering if they are going to total the bike.
I also think the wheel bearings may be shot.
More important than the bike is you. I have a sad tale of woe from a 'little accident'. I normally ride to work (unless its raining, snowing or under 30 degrees - we old GL1800 riders are tough). In December of 2005 I had an appointment with a customer so I took my Maxima. I was sitting at a stop sign abt a mile from home (the way I always go to work), looked to the left then turned back to the right just in time to see an SUV heading for me as she made a left turn into the street I was on. She hit me head on while I was sitting there stopped, her cell phone in hand. My left arm was straight out on the wheel & my right on the stick. After the accident my arm hurt like hell but I told the cop I would be ok - not. 2 hours later I was in my doctor's office. Very long story short - I had an ulnar nerve relocation (funny bone nerve) done on 8/16/06. Wrong diagnosis. My arm continued to hurt to the point where I gave up riding (I do abt 18K miles a year on my bike). On 8/16/07 I had a cervical fusion done. The accident had caused 2 discs to flatten my spinal cord. I now have permanent muscle loss in my hand / arm and constant pain that will be forever. My LD days are apparently over. All from a 'crappy little accident' that I thought was nothing. It has changed my life completely (I can't even hold my camera for any length of time now).
