Well it happened, was in an accident yesterday. Gorgeous day out for a little putt about 10 miles from home. 18 year old girl in a5.0 mustang turned left in front of me ,I hit the brakes instead of hitting her head on at 45 mph. I keep clicking my flash to pass lights to no avail. Bike low sided and ended up about 150 feet down the road. I sliid about 50 feet. Banged up pretty good. Checked out at the ER.Will see how much damage estimate will be . The riding gear saved my bacon.armoured jacket and riding jeans duty boots 3/4 shoie helmet. Mark

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I sure hope you are OK.
Does the bike have engine guards or sliders? How well did they work if you have them?
