There but for the Grace of God go I - keeled the 'King over this evening 'cause I let the grass grow along the edges of my drice and clipped it as I was pushing the bike out. I bet the guy felt about an inch high, and I applaude your calm! I think my bike will have more 'charcter' due to me than any other riders! Warm regards, Michael.

albion, I'm sure mine will have more character when I get done with it also.&nbsp\\; But hey, thats what makes it "yours", wether it be add-ons, or accidents!
&nbsp\\;
I had about&nbsp\\;ten seconds of really bad thoughts...then I mellowed out and took it in stride.&nbsp\\; Coulda been alot worse, wasn't as bad as I thought.&nbsp\\; Sure did make some crunchin noise thought, I thought, well there goes my bags and rear fender.&nbsp\\; But it musta just been the lenses cracking, it had me going for a minute though.

I switched to a different rear light bar in the spring. Let me know if you want my old one.

I also always slide my ID in the gap around the fuel door, holds it well and easy to get to. Just a thought.

BE503, thanks for the offer.&nbsp\\; I think the bar is fine, it oput a little dimple in the fender to knock it out of whack abit.&nbsp\\; I will further inspect this pm when I put on the new lenses (if they're in stock that is).
&nbsp\\;
I'll know more when I pull off the lenses.&nbsp\\; I keep forgetting, it's an 07 RK
&nbsp\\;
EVIL, it was the knox st gate.&nbsp\\; I don't go down the all-american 500 anymore, to many idiots.&nbsp\\; I put my ID in my windshield bag, was working good so far, alot quicker to pull out my ID.

Glad you are OK! When i get to the gate I shut off the bike climb off and take a glove off, then remove my wallet Id card and my MSF card. Reverse process start the bike and roll on to work.
