Actually, you'll be seeing it up at the dealership on Monday. Filed a claim with my insurance and I'll let the service dept handle the fun. Even though she rode straight and true back home, she did hop a curb. Wanna have her checked by pros

 

Shoulda let me ride it home afterall.

Glad you're alright though. Nice to see how the Dainese and Shift kevlar jeans hold up - as I wear both myself.

 

The titanium shoulder is ground flat, so i slid for a good bit on my shoulder. Funny thing, the guy at Revzilla had me seriously thinking of buying this yesterday


Just wish I had picked up those limb tubes for my legs. But they only had large and those would have shifted during the slide

 

Sorry for the nastiness there Kuro ... but glad you are ok. Bikes easily fixed or replaced. Good moderators are hard to find

I got a set of grabits from Lowe's years ago and it's the best f'd up bolt extractors I've ever used. Way better than EZ outs (misnomer if ever there was one). Has a left hand drill on one side which gets 90% of the bolts out by itself. If it ain't out then you flip it over and the extractor will grip the hole and remove the bolt.

 

Damn that sucks. Glad you were wearing your gear.

 

Glad your okay. Could have been much worse. I have the same Shift jeans. Looks like in the scheme of things, your gear did it's job. Bolt extractor should get the ground down bolts out. Heal fast!!!

 

Wow, that really sucks. First you get sick then this, hope the shop gets her back to you good as new.

 

Man im glad to hear your okay. The bike looks fine still. If i lowsided and only saw that damage id be jumping with joy.

 

Guy on another forum said I was really relaxed considering what happened. My gear and Yolie's gear is why.

My gear saved about 99.997% of my skin and prolly my shoulder and elbow (my elbow took a tiny hit too). Yolie's gear saved her from serious damage. Frame sliders are to protect the FRAME. But you can see that right slider saved the whole right side of the bike.

Damn straight I'm overjoyed. The only disappointments are in my own negligence in acquiring gear to protect the damaged areas (limb tubes for my leg, case sliders and exhaust slider for Yolie). Now those limb tubes are in, they will be here by the end of the week. And while the shop has Yolie, they'll be installing her missing gear as well.

Yeah damn shame Shift jeans aren't availible anymore. Lucky for me I have 4 more pair

 

That's too bad, but glad you're okay and that the bike is insured. One thing I learned early on was how slick road paint can be. There's a turnabout just outside the apartment I was in when I first got my bike. Almost lost it a few different times hitting the paint at the apex of my turn. I'm super cautious when turning over cross walks.
