RE: Went Down Hard
If the dealership did something to the bike that led to the wreck, you won't be waiting very long for a new ride. \\;\\\\\\; \\;\\\\\\;You should get to choose any bike they have, IMHO! \\; Also, DO NOT let the dealer that worked on it anywhere near it till the investigation determines the cause of the accident/wobbling.

Hoping for your speedy and complete recovery,

RE: Went Down Hard
Sorry about the mishap.....but....
I've been around the campus a few years myself, and I've been "down" a few times. \\; Those times, I have NOT looked elsewhere for "somebody else at fault" to hang it on.
When I ride, I take on full responsibility for what happens. \\; If the bike is mechanically screwed up, I need to be knowledgeable enough to sense something's wrong, and deal with it.
Hope things work out good for you, but I don't agree that whenever things go wrong, the first priority is to start looking for someone else to blame.
