I'm new to the forum but not new to motorcycles. I've been riding bikes since I was 14 (27 now) and I just switched to cruisers. I got sick and tired of getting tickets and back and wrist pain riding sport bikes. So, I sold my 2004 GSXR 1000 and bought a new silver/black Nightster. The Nightster rides so smooth and comfortable compair to my sport bike. Well I only got to ride the bike for 30 hours until some lady decided to cut me off. I was riding down the road going to a buddies house to show her off when some lady made a left turn right infront of me causing me to re-end her. I don't remember anything about the wreck except waking up in the hospital with a broken leg, wrist and road rash. I'm so pissed, I only got 150 miles on her and now I'm down for the rest of the summer. Only two more mouths until I can walk again. The bike isn't in bad shape, just a crushed gas tank, handle bars, and left peg. I hope to get a lot of ideas for mods on this forum, later

Dave
