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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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. ;)
