I hate it when Harleys try to fly. Heal quick, glad it wasn't a lot worse.

Lucky you didn't hit a tree.
Get the ins co to total it, buy it back at a cheapo price, get a new bike with the ins money and you come out ahead. Plus you get to build it bigger and better.
Get well soon.

Glad that you are ok for the most part. Could have been worse. Take time to recovery properly. The bike can be rebuilt or rebought!

It was my mistake for going too fast in a t-storm in a dark, rural neighborhood. But yes, ABS would have helped because I would have just stomped on the brakes

If the frame & drivetrain are good then I'd push to keep the bike from totaling.
You can do a lot with beat-up bike and 11k. I've done it three times now (for three different friends), every one of them had a color matched frame when I was done.
Yeah the bike is at a reputable indy in Chantilly, VA. The Progressive agent 3-wayed him into the convo. So far, I'm very happy with Progressive and the adjuster. Trust me when I say the list of upgrades just got longer

Glad you're going to heal & there's no bike shortage so start shopping. Sux to lose your prode scoot, but now it'll be another unpainted canvas to personalize. Recover & ride on!
Lol

Been down a couple times before myself. Glad to hear you're OK as far as motorcycle injuries go. The bike can be fixed so just take care of yourself and look forward to planning out your next bike.
