i low sided about 2 months back and yes the frame sliders were a MIRACLE. they saved my entire fairing from rash.....now my tail--thats a different story, cracked and rashed, but they saved my *** on the big fairings

 

good to hear your ok. the bike can be fixed.

 

I would have thought a bike would have sliced right through a cat without much trouble. You sure that wasn't a mountian lion? haha.

Well, atleast you have an interesting war story now.

Glad you made it outta that situation.

 

+1 on slicing that cat... my friend said he hit an armidillo and came away ok, but holy crap... I must have been haulin' *****... honestly I don't remember how fast I was going... could've been 80... I was in a pissy mood and was driving in anger at the moment... =P

 

how was the shower, im sure that knee let you know how it was feeling?! lol

 

holy crap... yeah. that's the first thing I did, then I poured rubbing alchol on it.... *PAIN* then I went to the ER the next morning and got X-rays, a shot, and my wounds cleaned out, it really sucked. Now my left knee is steal swollen, might have to get it drained... [sm=outcold.gif]

 

ouch! good to hear ya came out in one piece...... make sure you ice up that knee, and pop some motrin to get all that swelling down...
I saw that you had your garb on, I kinda do the same thing, jacket, gloves, helmet, boots,,and then we ruin it with jeans?
I think I'm going to invest in some riding pants this season.

get better, good luck with the bike, I dont know where your located but I have a stock exhaust you can have if you need one, I'm in philadelphia

 

Riding in the wrong frame of mind is a dangerous proposition. I remember getting flaming pissed at my wife and getting on the bike. I realized I could not pay attention, and wheeled the bike back into the garage. The feeling in my gut told me I had no business being on a motorcycle at the time. I am glad you have the potential to be healthy, but make sure you are mentally ready to be on that deathtrap...you always needall your faculties!

 

thanks for the get well ishes... I'm getting there...
