You're right, not the best way to start the day.  But, then again, if it had to be, it is.  The woman could have been speeding up, not slowing down.  Glad you weren't hurt real bad, but I'd bet money you are going to be sore.  The girl can be fixed once you get over the soreness.

  Good to hear your OK Daniel !  cooldude

HATE to hear you may have to 'cage' it while your fixin up your bike.  I'm sure you don't get 35 - 40 mpg in your 4wheeler.   Long way to Clarksville (isn't that a song or sumthin).

It's a bummer you got hit, but I'm glad you're OK.  That's about the only situation we can't be completely proactive in avoiding.

Didn't you replace part of that fender not long ago?

I am sure we (Richard Graham) have you covered on parts, Dan'l. You even have a choice of black or purple with a white stripe. Glad it was not any worse than it was! ~Jeff

Yep, I replaced the front-segment due to the "Serk cut" mod.

Kewl! I appreciate that! Black definitely...though I suppose it's all the same when it's dirt covered.

I'm waiting for their adjuster to see it, and I need to crawl around/over/under her and make sure the pipes or something else didn't get tweaked...but it really looks like just the fender segment and the blinker/plate light assembly is a bit tweaked...blinker's dead but the rest can probably be saved...oh, and and some brackets for the plate etc...

I probably have some of it in the garage...but it's leftovers from another (not mine) rear hit and I'm not sure what's good.

I was like Evel Knevel and blessed with four ruptered discs that I didn't ask for .... so glad to hear your OK .... ITS HARD TO REPLACE GOOD PEOPLE BUT EASier TO REPLACE PARTS ... Thanks the Geezer crazy2
