Finally Happened
Well I am sad to say that the most unexpected thing happend to me 2 weeks ago.
I was ejoying a nice ride home from monterey and i was cut off by a friend on his streetbike- sadley trying to avoid splattering him all over the freeway i ended up taking a big one for the team and sliding down hwy 101 @ 70+ , In the end im left with 2 broken ankles minor rash and 1 less person to ride next to or with in the future.
Damage is
Front Fairing
Inner Fairing
Crash Bar
Hwy Pegs
Right side bag
front fender
inner primary
13 Inch bars
Gas Tank
Please keep an eye out for any 07 street glide parts as i am willing to pick them up right now ... espically if they are black pearl..
Before : had it for almost 3 months

RE: Finally Happened
Wow, really sorry to hear that, wish you a quick recovery. Things like that have made me very very selective about who I'll ride with, some folks just don't seem to bring much situational awareness on the road with them and are safer riding alone. They forget that riding with others brings some responsibility. Godspeed

Glad you are ok, go punch your ex-friend in the mouth, check the "classifieds" and the "items for cost of shipping" threads!

There was just an entire paint set on ebay not long ago. I looked it is already done. I'll keep my eye out.

RE: Finally Happened
Sorry about your wreck but it appears you have a good attitude about riding again. The main thing is that you will ride after healing. At 70 mph on a crowded highway, the results could have been far different. Heal quickly and well. The wind is awaiting your return.

RE: Finally Happened
Glad to hear you're okay. I've never done a 70 mph slide on the highway but it has to be a helluva scary ride. Get yourself healed and then use the bike repair as part of your physical therapy.
