Default 30 Minutes after finishing a build!

I get rear ended at an intersection. I have been posting a build on a 883 sporty down in the custom forum. Today I finished her off and took out to run her through the paces and I get sucker punched making a right hand turn! Bike held up good. Gonna need some repaint on the case and some new covers. Rear taillight and maybe a new rear fender. Broke the tip of the clutch lever and chewed up the left grip. I took some road rash to my elbow all in all not to bad.

On a good note! That damn Sporty runs GREAT!

That's horrible! Glad that you weren't seriously injured. I would fix the sporty and sell it.

At least you got to ride a little before that happened.

Sure happy to hear you are ok, love your attitude. Waht happened to the person that rear ended you, are they still alive, will they be held accountable, did you TP their house?
