I'm glad to hear you're not too messed up. I had a slight shoulder separation once. It hurt like hell!Just got back from ortho doktor......only slight OC joint shoulder separation....no surgery required. Ribs sore and maybe some breakage...but doktor says they can't do anything for that anyways...so just buckup and take the discomfort dammit.
Just bruising and sore for a couple of weeks....no biggie.
You get that feeling too, wifey always makes sure I pay the insurance policies. <_<Me thinks they are after my life insurance money...
I hear ya...but someone else may need to organize it...I mean who wants to ride with a crasher anyways. :blink:Glad it's nothing real serious.No pain, no gain!
From the photos it looks like your bike should be repairable.
Now hurry up & get it fixed, your SE Ohio spring ramble will be here before you know it.
Mmmh...you did hit your head after all, Wheatie... :lol:
I hear ya Wheatie. It's a lonely world for us.
No! Patch that sucker up, and wait for the 2010 model to come out. It will have 1697 cc/170 hp. Hope you feel great in a short time. phil
If that's the case, then that disqualifies many of us.
Uh...me?
Nope...I was not on the brakes at all during this set of curves...just before in prepping my speed.
Tires were up to temp...been 24 miles since our last break in Marshall, AR. Tires were in good shape...front a little cupped but not too bad...air pressure checked that am...it was mid-morning probably in the 40s air temp. Road surface seemed okay...typical AR roads in that area. I was #1 rider...was not trying to keep up with anybody, Scott and his buddy had gone on ahead because they are great riders and I was too slow for them...(ie I was riding my pace and they were rising theirs). I had gone through many other curves that morning as you can imagine if you have ever been in this area. I had also gone through other curves that were marked at the same speed as this one so I felt I had a good bead on the consistency of the signage. This was a left curve - right curve combo. I went into the first curve confidently based on what I saw, but then as I was in it realized that it was a bit tighter than what was expected soI was not set up well suspension-wise or line-wise for the second curve which was tighter and to the right. I adjusted and turned my head farther to the right to ensure that my body and the bike followed. I felt confident that I was in good shape even though the curve was tighter than originally thought. Shortly after I adjusted my line as said before, my tire(s) lost traction...I thought it was the rear, but my buddies said it was the front...I'll take their word for it.
