A twisty road, a little gravel and a road hoggin' cager makes for a sad Kenny.
Luckily nobody was hurt but the guy in the car that pushed me wide didn't even stop :frownthre . Imagine my surprize as I round the turn and find that nut halfway or more across the line. There was nothing to do but lay her down in the gravel. On a happier (?) note, the replacement parts arrived today and they "Blue it". I mean they're "Blue". Oh well, I gues I blue it too.
pquirk 11th May 2005, 02:22 Glad to hear you're in one piece Kenny, and you've got the right attitude.

That has got to be one of the most hideous things I've ever seen. The last one is cool though.

planb 11th May 2005, 07:58 Man, if it ain't fish, it's cagers! Glad you're not hurt, Kenny...there ARE a few crazy drivers in CA...I just got back from the Bay area...spooky!
I really like that last one, too! What a hoot to go bar-hoppin' with that! I'd love to hear what it sounds like; I want one!
bplinson 11th May 2005, 07:58 Glad to hear that you are okay!!!
82ndJumper 11th May 2005, 11:51 glad your ok Kenny.
alleydude 11th May 2005, 12:08 Glad you're okay. Going down sucks.
Kenny 11th May 2005, 13:44 Thanks again everybody. It's nice to know there is some good thoughts and concern for our fellow man in this crazy world. I think I'll try and photo-document the restoration maybe a little fun can come out of this catastrophe.
Schmidtrock 11th May 2005, 13:52 Wow Kenny, sad to see th Buell all scarred up but glad that you ain't ! Good luck on the resto and ride safe man. :o
sunkenloot 11th May 2005, 14:35 Dang Kenny, Glad your ok. I hope that when I go down again I can keep as posative an attitude as you. :tour
In looking at the pic Kenny posted. Im looking at his headlight fairing and wondering what that would look like on a sporty? :smoke

Keepin' things positive always helps me cope. :)
Now, it's just laying on there but your right sunkenloot. If you get that thing on there right it ain't bad.

Of course I think it'll look better on a bike without aux. lights.
sunkenloot 12th May 2005, 14:33 Hmmmm. Interesting. Very interesting. :smoke
Ingemar 12th May 2005, 18:53 Kenny,
I'm sorry to hear about the accident, but I'm glad you're oke.
Now about that windscreen, that just ain't right. Just put that Buell back together ASAP so that windscreen gets its rightful place. ;)
Kenny 16th May 2005, 02:27 It's not quite finished but I couldn't resist sharing the new color with you.
