Default Back in the saddle again

Hi guys been missing from the forum for awhile, wrecked the bike back six months ago, got hit head on by my next door neighbor, long story short im recovered ,the wifes recovering , the bikes never been better, you hear a lot of horror insurance story's, well mines not one i am insured with harley insurance, they rebuilt the bike better than new, done me a great deal on riding gear, new parts an returned my old stuff to do as i wished with. my dealer couldn't have been better to deal with, i cant sing there praises loud enough, we are located in the south island of New Zealand so parts take a bit of time to arrive, my experience with harley insurance was easy, timely, and because it wasnt my fault i didn't even have to pay the first few hundred bucks.
Any way check out the finished bike, ill include a before, a crashed and a finished shot
