Riding down a country road in midstate California on Sunday, I pickup truck goes through a stop sign right across my path. My choice was to T-Bone him or yank on the brakes. I chose the latter. The bike went down on to the crash bars. I picked up the bike and there wasn't even a scratch.

 

Awesome.....you're a lucky dude

Wow! Nice job and glad you were able to walk away. After something like that
I wouldn't have cared what the bike looked like, I'd just be glad I'm still alive.

 

OK, that settles it - I'm putting my engine guards back on tonight!

 

How was the front fairing and saddlebag on that side? Did the guards hit the ground before those could?

 

glad you gotter stopped, bars are a good idea.

 

Wow!
Great instincts!

Glad you didn't get hurt!

 

Better question, did you get a shot off at the offending individual trying hard to infringe upon you rights to enjoy your ride that day? Just kidding,,,(right, nudge, nudge, wink, wink)… Glad you where able to walk away my friend..[sm=shootshoot.gif]

 

Thats why they are called Crash Bars and not aux. footpeg holders! Glad it worked out for you.

 

Good to hear that's all that happened.
