Thanks for the support!
I'm glad to hear you're not seriously hurt. I'm also glad to hear you recognize your own screw up instead of laying all the blame on the other driver, takes a real man to admit his mistakes, been there done that. Speedy recovery my friend.

My bags are out farther than original placement. The lids were REALLY hard to get off with the tourpack on.

Not doing bad today, right side and shoulder is pretty sore from the bounce. The '"wounds" aren't much, oh and my keys are going into the tourpack now...lol. they brused the hell out of my right hip.

Helmet cleaned up well, I don't have to replace it. Mostly paint from when i touched the curb at the end. Little scuff and everything works like it's supposed to.

The strange thing, I just upgraded to CE2 armor for my riding jacket.

Let me tell you my Parking Lot Crash story.

Hundreds of years ago, I had a Triumph Tiger100, this was back in the late 70's when cars had chrome bumpers and we all wore flared jeans. I was hungover as all hell and riding through a car park, the wind blew my flared Levis and they hooked on the chrome bumper of a parked car and I was yanked off the bike.

Hurt my pride more than my body and the bike just needed new handlebars...cars don't need to have people in them to be dangerous lol!

HAHAHAHA, did the same thing on a hopped up CB450 DOHC in a corner. I was already scrapping everything on the road. Just barely ran out of room.
