I'm on an extended road trip with my buddy Bruce through the south west which will include a stop over at Inzane. Yesterday, after we left the The Grand Canyon heading toward Page Arizona I was forced off the road by an A$$ hole in a white pick up late yesterday.

I'm ok, a little bruised that's it, very lucky.

The Bike is fine (mechanically that is) for the most part, got it stopped before I went over the right side on the gravel shoulder. Will need lots of paint work (right side fairing, pod, saddle bag, trunk) but bike otherwise seems to ride fine.

PROBLEMS: the rear brake pedal is somewhat bent inwards but still functional and I just noticed that the right fork seal is leaking.

Can anyone lend some assistance at Inzane...would be greatly appreciated.

can't help from NJ, but did you get any info on the driver and assistance from the police?  There has to be consequences for A holes like that....

BigBF will be there.    Look him up.      He should be setup in the Vendor area.

Ouch... I have a probably-new brake pedal I got for next-to-nothing on eBay... One day I was going to try to figure out how to combine it with
my forward control brake pedal in some kind of cool way, but that's probably a pipe dream involving welding, bending, cutting and chroming that I'll
never do...

If this pedal will help you, let me know, it could probably be made to transit to the inZane address
in a day or two...

Yeah I noticed that about Mike, he drove over to help Steamer with a problem on his bike. I think if you were closer he'd bring the part to you just for an excuse to ride.

Well I hope he was there to help Steamer with his bike and not there for agricultural help

BoomR,

Glad you are okay!!!   cooldude

I have both pods that need some paint and some scratches taken out but they are fixable.  I was going to fix them (have a fairing also but has a crack about 3 inches down by the left turn signal housing), I was going to fix these and when/if I found a wrecked I/S I was going to put it on them but if you need them you can have them.  I don't have the side fins of the pod I only needed to replace the main pod body.  So, let me know if you want me to bring them to Inzane.  I leave wednesday at 4am.
