RE: Had An Accident Yesterday
Hey dude,
Glad you're okay! The bike doesn't really look all that bad. Pull the bags off, the seat off and start putting water to it. If it were me, as far as repairs are concerned, I'd go to an HD dealer and get it done right and warrented. You'll be back up in no time.
Are you sure the accident wasn't caused by you trying to check out the chick that was behind ya? And she did stop to check up on ya, right?

Glad you're okay (dang windshield, that had to hurt). Like Bryan said the bike should clean up okay. If you keep that up, though, you really ought to change your tires to something for offroad! LOL Let us know how things turn out.

Don't look too bad. Kind of looks like you just rolled in off the Alaska Highway. 
Hose 'er down, get the engine guard out of the floor boards if needed, and fire her up. After you change the oils and fuel of course. I found these things will take a hell of a beating and still run great.

Thanks for sharing, we can always learn from others mishaps on how to avoid them ourselves. You'll be back on the road before you know it.
In the one pic I like the way you got a 96inch motor in 2002. You must be a real HD insider from way back

JLION,
You are unbelievable!!! What in hell is your malfunction anyway? I've seen a few of your posts lately and so far it doesn't look like you're making any friends on this forum. Maybe you should go play someplace else. Either that, or as the new guy inthis forum try to make an effort to "fit in" instead of making ridiculous comments and pissing everyone off. Now I'm no Sherlock Holmes, but after lookingat the exact same photos you sawI was able to tell that his bike isan '07, regardless of the date stamp on the photo. I can tell based on the fact that his bike has a 6 speed tranny and a few other cluesthat make it prettyobvious. One thing thatis also very clear...you don't appear to know that much aboutHarley's and certainly not qualified to call BS on a man who was just involved in a motorcycle accident!Especially when YOU CAN'T EVEN TELL THE DIFFERENCE!Call me what you like, but today you have sunken to an all new low of stupidity with your comment. There's one other glaringly obvious thingwhich didn't even appear to cross your mind and that is....batteries. Cameras require batteries. Batteries do not last forever. The internal clock in the cameradraws the energy needed from the battery in order to keep track of the time/date stamp.Now don't loose me here, this part gets a little tough to understand. When the battery dies...so does the clocks memory. So had this occurred to you, then you would have realized the most likely answer to your question was, Billy just plain forgot or didn't care about resetting the clock/date. Finally, finally, just one last thing. Why in hell would ANYBODY make up a story about being in an accident and go through the trouble to take photos of a wrecked bike and himself anyway?
Everyone, I am sorry for jumping in a getting so upset over this but I just couldn't let this go and not say something. Billy, I am sorry about your accident and I am relieved to know that you not only survived but believe as I do and that is you were saved by the grace of God. I nearly lost my life a couple years ago when my bike was totaled andbelieve me, I know what you're feeling. PM me of you like and we can chat further. That's enough of me and my rants for one night. Sorry everyone!

I'm callin' bullshit.
Unless your camera hasn't had the date corrected in the last 5 years.
