Glad you're o.k. and welcome to the club.

 

$$$$ Happins Glad you are O.K. I have never seen bars break?!?

 

Glad to hear all is ok. I've had 2 minor falls, one with my wife on the back. It's not a nice feeling, but you just get back on. Good luck.

 

Glad your OK, and the bike is OK as well. Everytime the shinny side of my bike/bikes has been down instead of up, has been when going slow and usually from a take off. Not using the friction zone on the clutch like I should. The Road King I layed down in a gas station, at the 5:00 rush hour so I had plenty of eyes to make me feel real good. I was lucky in a lot of respects, from out of no where a guy that made the HULK look small showed up and said "are you OK and do you need some help?". Your first responce with all the blood pumping is no, I'm OK I can get it. Dumb pride. He helped and I was out of there in less than a minute, although it seemed like forever. Another good thing that happened was I had installed the locks on my side bags and always had a fun time when I pushed the button in to open them, well laying it down bent the inside frame enough so that I couldn't open the side bag on the left side of the bike, so I got it open and did some bending, and now I know how to adjust it so it opens very smoothly, used the same technique on the stuborn right side bag as well. The character mark on the highway bar, and the bent bag was the only damage.

 

First one I had I must have knocked over 3 times the first month. After that I was curred. Well except for the time I tried to take a shortcut though a small culvert that turned out to be absolutely no place for a street bike. You can tell I cut my teeth in the dirt. My brain said "that won't be any trouble" Note to brain...street tires do nothing good on pure mud.

 

Glad you're ok the bike can be fixed.

 

It's Spring. People are starting to ride again.
