Bike damage list

[SportsterDoc]

I fractured my spine, April 1963 in Honda 50 Super Sport (CA110) versus 18 wheeler collision.
I repaired the bike, but my parents did not like me riding it while wearing a body cast and required me to sell it (age 16).

I went another 18 years before crashing, again. Although the forks caved in, my injuries were relatively minor. I rode the bike back to my shop.

In many years of off-road desert riding, I have flipped bikes (actually the same bike, I think), twice. Knocked the wind out of me, but picked 'em up and got back on.

Not trying to ride after a drop/crash may bring a lot of regrets.

My CB1100 went to the dealer today, for the previously agreed upon $5,000 (have to return tomorrow to finish paperwork): 12,523 miles in < 10 months.

I put over 1,000 miles on it since my second mini-stroke (if that is what it was) of Aug 9-10.

However, I am more concerned that I may hurt someone else, although the biggest issue, thus far, has been dust in my left eye, despite goggles.

I am grateful for 17 bikes in 55 years, but I am not expecting to get another.
