OH man I would hate that
I'm glad your OK. Boy its funny how attached we get to these bikes.
Part of it may be the fact that they aren't bringing them to the U.S. anymore and me, at least worry about getting parts.
When I was 25 and riding my CB750 I never worried about it. I rode the snot out of it and one day a dumb woman pulled out right in front of me and I had to lay it down. I wasn't speeding but doing about 50 when it happened. I managed to get down to about 35 - 40 before impact. My dolly bars helped protect the bike and my legs and I was wearing Fry riding boots with side ring protectors but it still broke the instrument cluster and mirror and faring.
I put it back together and rode it another year until I traded it on the new KZ900 and kept riding.
Glad you weren't hurt, don't let it put you off
