Hey guys, it happened...the dreaded crash.
I was winding down some backroads in St Louis County, MO today with my friend. I was leading and came around an easy right handed curve. My guess is that i hit a twig just right to swing the rear from under my feet. The bike skidded and fell off an imbankment and smacked up against a few small trees. I, on the other hand, kept going and flung around like a ragdoll for another 10 feet from my bike, miraculously sailing right over a downed tree. I had a helmet, mesh j.rocket jacket, jeans, and boots on....and it all saved my hyde. I hit my hip pretty good on the way down, and i hit my head on the asphault right before the embankment. I went to the hospital and everything checked out fine. Just gonna be sore as hell in the morning.
As for the bike, as far as i can tell everything is still straight. I need a front fairing, windscreen, turn signals, right mirror, right fairing, instrument cluster (doesnt work for some reason) and right rearset. also tail is scraped and cracked, but that doesnt bother me as the rest. Anyone know of a good place besides ebay to get oem replacement stuff. Thank you guys

Damn dude, that sucks. Luckily you are ok and the fixes are mostly cosmetic.

Damn....that sucks...I'm sorry to hear that, but your okay - which is always the important thing. I deal with my friend at the dealer b/c he gives me crazy discounts, but for you, go with ebay. If you need anything strange, let me know and I'll ask him.

Glad you're ok man!! Hope you can get up and running again soon, but man, hearing about all these crashes makes me not want to ride. If I crash I don't have the money to repair my bike. =(
