It is good to hear you both made it ok. The bike is only nuts and bolts break one and replace people dont go back together that ez

It's great to hear that no one was extremely injured. It makes you think twice about riding in the correct gear.

P.S wounds will heal

Good luck with the healing process

Kind Regards

GREYMUSTANG, sorry to hear about you wipe. Glad to hear that you guys had gear on. I'm always nervous about riding in April until the roads get cleaned. I've been riding for 7 years and have always worn full gear, pants, boots, gloves and jacket. Like you guys said you can replace a bike but not your body. Hope you recover soon

Sorry to hear about your bike but glad you two are ok. More proof if its needed to always wear proper gear.

Thank God you guys made it out with as little as you did. Like before, bikes can be replaced, people can't. I was kind of hypocritical last week when I rode with one of the CBR forum members and didn't wear my gear. I am glad something like this didn't happen to me!! Heal up quick and don't be strangers to the site!!

I'm glad you guys are ok, even though the bike needs a little cosmetic surgery. It's hard to tell from the pic, but did it mess up the throttle? I bet that made it an interesting return trip.

I'm glad you made it away from the bike ok. That could have been really bad!!! What do u plan to do to repair the tank??? I have heard someone tell me to use a "Magnetic" dent removal tool. Ever heard of such a beast??? From what I have heard they put it on the spot and basically "Suck" the dent out. Most of the time they say no repainting is necessary. Just some food for thought..... I hope u get her back to her original spendor.

Becareful!! Take care!!
