Got the bike tore down, and the parts ordered. Also stripped down the trailer, trailer frame is out of kilter but can be straightened, going to take a couple of weeks to get every thing back to normal. Work never ends.

Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Wearing the full gear, I did not hit the ground, bike was knocked on the left side and slid on the crash bars, I was still attached when it stopped. My worst injury was the left hand grip hit the right side of my chest and left a nasty bruise, hit hard enough to bend the hand grip.

Pinwall has a couple of frames for $299 on their eBay store.    FYI

Bike frame is OK, the trailer has the twisted frame.
