Ouchie! Dang that's a bummer but glad it wasn't any worse and you had the good fortune of having a good samaritan on your side! Where are you and do you need any help with anything?
Guess I get to join the Crash Club too

Nice thing about being retired you have time on your side. Don't have to be any peticular place at any peticular time, and that helps a bunch when working things out.
Wheatie if there was any way you could help I know you would, thanks for the good thoughts.
Bikes going into a storage unit, I'm renting a cage.
Tow company is an indepentant, President of the company is the tow driver, CEO and dispatcher is his wife.
Thanks for the offer Greg, months worth of storage is a lot less that tow charges.
Thanks Tyler, yeah, I may just adopt this tow truck guy.
I think I'm good as for as needing anything, got storage for the bike lined up, picking up rental car at Redmond,OR airport late this afternoon.

Hmm, guess if someone tells me I'm full of sh*t, I'm going to have to agree with them.

Yes. It is hard to be a good cynic with all these nice folks popping up all over the place.
Airboss - sorry about the get-off and hope you heal soon. You a Navy guy? I've been around a few air bosses back in my flight deck days.
Oh yeah - heed what they say about the pain meds and your daily constitution. They speaketh the truth. Oh yes they do.

I don't know Airboss, 3 weeks ago after my membership was confirmed, I was told the club was closed to new members. . .
Sorry to hear about the collar bone but you apparently met a real mensch in the tow driver. Get well soon!

Not Navy kind of airboss.
airboss comes from the afinity I have for Airdale Terriers (the smartest dogs on the planet), and the fact that with a wife and two grown daughters the only one I could boss was the dog. :lol:
Maybe I should see if the admins could change it to Aireboss.

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your spill. That just sucks out loud, and it sounds like you did everything right too.
Glad you are getting some decent care, and thumbs up to the superb service above and beyond the call from the tow co.
Take care and heal well.

Well, crappy luck. Everybody's nightmare, isn't it? A trip-stopping wreck a couple thousand miles from home? Damn. How would I know? Don't ask. Glad you got good help then, and ongoing as needed from the forum folks. Um, I happen to know an FJR guy who's looking for a Gen II here in my area, in case that's on your mind.
I hit a rock in the road a couple years back that gave me a front blowout. Steered onto the gravel along side as I was slowing. Deep gravel. Lucky I didn't make it worse. Like you said, *&*&^% gravel!

But how did you make him, with a broken collar bone? :lol: Hang in there, Airboss. Glad it's no worse.

Airboss,
Sorry to hear about your get off. I'm not too far away and could help you if you need it (bike storage, I also have a 5x8 utility trailer too). Desert Valley Powersports is not too far away from you, if you decide to get it fixed out here.
Heck, get it fixed I'll ride it home for you (if you pay my flight back)

PS. Pain meds are good...but BAD constipation can be worse then the pain the meds are helping out.

Dagnabit! A real bummer Karl but your mc karma helped you out.
Sounds like you have most of it worked out (ouch I said that?) Won't see you a WFO but if you need someone to ride it home for you let me know
At least you can still light up :cigar: , eh?.
If I can help in any way let me know, here's to a speedy recovery!

the bike is rashed not broken, I'm broken not rashed. ATGATT
Picked up a KIA from the rental place today,should be in Eureka tomorrow afternoon.
After WFO I'll head for Sis's place in Auburn, WA for a week or ten days. Depending on how the healing goes I'll go get the bike and ride home,or I'll leave the bike in storage and have an excuse to come back in maybe September

For what it's worth. My doctor forbid me to ride for more than a month after I broke mine.

Man, sorry about the bad drop off.
Broken CB, that's gotta really be uncomfortable......Healing Kharma sent.
That gravel is some tricky stuff, my first fall was on that stuff, spun out of one patch got traction to the other side of the road, and hit another patch.
