Default wreck

A good friend had a wild turkey land in his lap on his electraglide. Bike went down, he himself hit a telephone pole and was out of action for quite sometime. Damn lucky to be alive. The irony in it is he is a butcher !!!!!!!! No Bullshit!

Just fender took to custom bike shop,he is doing the whole job.No other damage he went over real good. Her insurance pays for it all. Takes four to six weeks just to get painted fender. I can still ride it ,so no big deal. I also wonder if she was on phone. As long as she is paying dont care. Expensive phone call. Might have to do exhaust,air filter and tune while bike is in shop.
