Well... It happened.
Crashed my Street Glide last Saturday, quite an experience. I was run out of the center lane into the right lane where there was a couple of cars slowing down to make a right turn. As I was jammin down on the brakes to avoid these two cars, the bike went over a small piece of plywood laying on the pavement. Well the rear tire started skidding on this plywood and now I'm boogie boarding this 800 pound Harley until she kicks me off tumbling onto the tarmac.The bike MIGHT be a total and I end up with some rash and a busted ankle. My riding season ended that day LOL.
The pics do not show the extent of the damage but here are some.

Sucks. But always say to yourself how much worse it could have been and your still here with us. The bike will be fixed better than new and so will you. Hang in there. Looks painful but I'm glad your able to tell us about it.
Get better soon.

Ankle vs. life ? Ok, Ankle.
Small price to pay to be alive. Glad you are still kicking.
We look forward to seeing you on the road.

Thanks ya'll. I'm glad that's all the boo-boos I ended up with, I know it could've been much worse. Tomorrow I'm calling the dealer to pick the bike up and we'll see what happens to her. I still have my Sportster in the garage, just not able to ride right now and that's killin me.
