Husband down

Wow, my husband went down almost right in front of me this afternoon. His bike isn't totalled, but wow the damage is a lot., it's at the stealer to have a estimate done next week. We was doing fine with a group of 8 others, he was in the lead and came up on a 100 degree left turn in the highway. We think he hit loose gravel, as there is some on the road way, there is scrape marks on the road surface, then he layed it down which in this case was best as he would of hit a tree if not a barb wire fence, neither which would of been good. He is ok sore but ok other than pride, leather jacket and chaps are toast. He was on a 06 1200 custom with a zillion dollars of chrome, obvious damage is the gas tank, handle bars, pegs, highway pegs, rear fender, passing lamps, mirrors, turn signals, cables are twisted up, derby cover and side case cover, exhaust. next week we will post a update.........

Sorry to hear about it...at least he walked away. It takes awhile for the sore to go away.

Good thing he was wearing his leathers. They probably saved him from a lot of road rash.

Glad he's allright!

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see if he's sore in the morning.
