Default Some Accident pictures

Theses are the pictures I took on my way home from the hospital. The damage is kind of deciving as there doesnt look to be much but when you see what is bent and what its connected to, the frame is probably bent in 3 or 4 places. All the painted parts need replaced except the side covers under the seat, the faring got bent back into the tank on the left side, and rear saddle bag support and exhaust pipe are bent way out of shape. The motor doesn't sound right when it runs either.

As long as your ok Chris, the rest you can fix or get a new bike. The bike is the easy part.

Sorry about the bad news, at least your around to talk about it. You can always get another bike. Take care and get healed up.

Good Luck with insurance.

Will will HAVE to stay up their ***. Also, you will have to go to aHD Dealer for the estimates, etc. Be prepared to PAY for estimate.

This is WAY different than a car wreck.

Glad U R OK!!!

glad you are ok. My insurance rep tried to get estimates, but was nothing compared to taking it to the dealer. The dealer would've waived the (roughly)$90 estimate fee if I had the work done there. Even paying the fee, I would've made money. I put the money into paint mainly though.
