Hi,
     Last Friday I was T-Boned by a Honda Accord at 50 MPH. Fortunately I had all my gear on so just some bruises and a scrapes, slid about 30 yards and bike about 75 yards.  The bike is done and will most likely let insurance take it.
     I do have some items to sell.

1. Digi Sync - 1 Month Old
2. Alternator Cover - Still in package
3. Intake Isolators - Still in package
4. Carb Idle Mixture Screw
5. Wire Harness Clamps, Assorted. Still in package
6. Intake O-Rings - Still in package
7. Valk Stock Mirrors - Used but great condition

If interested let me know and we can make arrangements

Well that is a rotten deal. At least you can stand upright and be able to talk about it.

You are very lucky.  Many drivers just don't pay attention to the task at hand. Too many distractions.  My wife was on her first trip out with her new to us interstate five weeks ago tomorrow.  A woman pulled out from a side road on to the highway leaving my wife no time to avoid.  The impact was hard at somewhere between 55 and 60 right in the drivers door. She has a broken wrist And lost her index finger.  She is as lucky as you.  These bikes are built like tanks.  2017 Hyundai Sonata is a write off.  I can still roll the bike. But it  is a total write off as well

Thanks all for your well wishes.

Great way to get a complete body CAT Scan and physical. No waiting!

A friend at work always says "you can't buy a ride like that". I agree

Thanks for the well wishes for my wife.  One more surgery in September to remove the rods holding her wrist bones in place and she will be doing rehab.  Hopefully she will ride next year.  She's got more strength than I'd have.  25 years of riding.  10 as an MSF instructor.  If she can pull the clutch she'll be gone with a smile.

I do hope the surgery goes well and your wife is back on the road soon. I did not have near that level of injury and count my blessings.

All the best to both of you!!

mat44uscg and Mrs longrider, prayers to you both, good to hear that you are both walking.

I know after my lower speed accident on the IS, the forks where bent, wheel almost touching the motor, but the bike would still roll.
