Sorry to see this. Just thank God. It wasn't your time, and it could have been a lot worse.

Definitely watch the roads! I don't know about your area, but here in South Jersey, I've never seen the roads get so messed up after one winter as they have this year. There is potholes galore on the back roads and even the main roads.
We don't need any more threads like this one showing up here.

Your unfortunate mishap snaps me out of complacency. I have paid extra attention commuting to work the last two mornings, with your accident on my mind.

Glad your OK.

Southwest complacency is the main reason I posted this so much. You guys never know what is in the road ahead. Even the advanced rider safety course can't keep something like this from happening and it sure can't teach you when or how you need to bail off the bike. That is all that saved me a few seconds later and I would have been DEAD!

Re:Well IT finally happened !!!!! 2 Years, 2 Months ago  
Now that I see the pics, I can't believe how nice the bags look on your bike. WOW! ...... That was one hell of a hit that tank took.........it don't look like that cigarette your having is helping much......but then again. it hardly looks like the guy who laid that down standing there, you'd expect he had rode off in an ambulance, text book bail out! Nice job! To look at it, You can rebuild that as talented as you are and you know parts will fly in from the clinic if needed. Take the money and the bike and run.
