Glad you are okay
I'm glad you are okay. Bikes can be replaced, but I'm happy to see that you can post and share what happened as you will hopefully be back on two wheels soon.
Best Regards,
Karl

concerning the earlier post about the engine guard.. I never really wanted one, thought it would take away from the lines of my bike..
after I hit a deer in december and rebuilt, I decided to do it anyway.. i bought the harley engine guard and I really like it.. I don't think it takes away from the looks..
the good thing is it may help if I ever hit something again (the deer slammed around the front into my left leg and my leg destroyed the intake) and I also have somewhere else to put my feet and add other highway pegs down the road.

Glad to hear your ok.
Your bike can be fixed better than new to your liking.
Most of us have crashed a bike somewhere along the line and if we're lucky we can live to talk about it.
Now that you've got that statistic over with, you should be good to go from here on out. Ride safe, brother.

story808, You're 100% right I'm gonna try and add some new stuff on there. Especially when it comes to the fenders.
oct1949, I actually bought my NT used. Maybe you're right in thinking that the maintenance wasn't properly kept up with. It never even hinted at doing that before today. I was able to right it home, but it was a little bit of a challenge managing that throttle (for a new rider like myself).
Here are some pics:
