Valkyrie down
_Sheffjs_:
>:(
Sorry to report that someone with a Van pulled out in front of John Paul Saturday, midday. John Paul was very lucky and other than being sore and some road rash is fine and back to his Cabinet Shop working today. We both went to the yard to look at his 99 black Tourer and the front wheel is almost touching the chrome timing belt cover and slightly smashed the oil filter. What is strange, are the forks do not look bent back so I fear the steer tube is bent back and slightly to one side. Opinions? Do you think this will be totaled? He has about 18k miles and a nice mustang seat set up. He is not deterred and wants to be back in the saddle for the cooler temps asa! The driver clearly admitted fault and there was witnesses that let the officers know that the van driver was clearly at fault and the van driver was cited. John Paul rolled of the left side to a standing position and that must have something to see. He told me the only thing on his mind was his Valk. He also remembers the pavement scratching his helmet and visor in front of his eyes as he was skimming the road. Again so far he is sore but up and about. Thank You Lord!
Daniel Meyer:
If the frame is bent it's likely totaled.
Glad he's (mostly) okay!
Thunderbolt:
Yes they will probably total it with fork/frame bent. Glad he was not hurt worse. Glad the helmet was there.
James III:
Very heartening that John Paul wasn't seriously injured. Thank goodness for the helmet. Heal well.

We are very sorry to hear this Jerry, please tell JohnPaul that Andrea and I are relieved he's O.K.
I know he doesn't frequent this board. I'm sure we're all aware it could've been much worse.
The bike can be fixed/replaced. :(
