scooter_trash_1,
I am glad to hear that you are okay! The bike can be fixed or replaced.

Speaking from personal experience, with 30 years of riding experience, my accident on 04/25/08 was the scariest day of my life, and as a Submarine Service Veteran that endured 3 near fatal situations, the bike accident sucked the worst.

While most of the sand/pea gravel should be gone in the next few months, it is always wise to assume there is crap on the road and drive appropriately.

Keep us posted on the status of your scoot. Hope you get back on the road soon!

So Rastas says, "I'll take this fall for ya boss", and without a whimper he takes the scrapes, dents and breaking of parts in your stead.

Glad you are OK. Sorry about the bike, I feel strangely close to your SG because I looked at your signiture picture a lot when I was trying to decide on either Sunglow Red or Vivid Black. I even bought a tourpack when I got the bike.
