Thumbs up A Great X-mas Gift

Sup to my HDForums family. As some of you may already know, a few weeks ago I was involved in a motorcycle accident on the freeway and got hit by a Dump Truck in traffic. Thank goodness I am still alive, because I only had minor scrapes, few bruises and lower back pains, but my bike was screwed. Well I am pretty excited to say that all my major parts (rear rim and break pulley) finally came in from Performance Machine and I should be able to hit the road again with some new additional parts added to my ride by Xmas Eve. I have to say this will be a very favorable X-mas treat for myself. Fyi.. Here is a picture of my bike prior to the accident. I had pictures of the bike after the accident but my laptop crashed. Go figure... Guess the big guy dont want me to look back. whewww... =)



I will post the updated pictures shortly when it is completed. Anyway, I just want to wish everyone a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.
