Oh Hell no! I was going to try and ride it home but after checking bike and rolling it to the side I realized I couldnt. Im not shaken from it or scared of the bike now. No way. **** happens. Live and learn.
Hoping to do well on the claim. Maybe a 21'' wheel, fender,apes,and have fender and bags all re-done. Have to look at floorboards etc now. The forwards I have are nice but are $1000 or so. From what I have seen. I didnt put them on the bike. I like them but would rather do something else maybe to put other $$ else where.
I saw another guy on here post about his RK I believe. That his buddy dropped it and he got all new paint,apes,etc. Hopefully I do well. Thanks guys.

Glad you are OK and able to walk away. Now if you are having pain when you breathe then you need to get your ribs x-rayed. If they did and no broken ones they they may just be separated. Still painful but will heal faster than broken ones.
Call your Doc and get some pain meds OR break out the whiskey or what ever your brand is and have a few slugs to get you though the night. Godspeed your healing. Don't worry about the bike. The MoCo will make more.

Glad to hear you walked away from that. If it gives you an idea, damage to my Sedona Orange 2011 FLHX was $5050. Front fender, front wheel, one rotor, fairing, RH floorboard, high way pegs and mts, engine gaurd, exhaust head pipe and shield, timing cover, RH saddle bag bottom, and other misc. hardware. Hopefully you can find a good shop to do the repairs.
