Well had my first spill in about 15 years :( Thursday night leaving thortons gas station on hamilton road , heading north with vrod looked away for just a second and looked back up and vrod took a quick right turn and i couldnt get the brakes on fast enough . I hit the brakes and looking down to my surprise was gravel ( fucking sucks ) anyways i slid into the back of him and tried to get the bike down before i hit him , thought i did but dont remeber hitting him . took of his plate holder and a turn signal ( glad it wasnt worse ) Helmet really saved me hit head first and shoulder but i think if it wasnt for the helmet i would be fucked . Anyway just wanted to say thanks to the guys who helped me out in a bind ( wheezle , vrod , yota ) and thanks for the check up calls from others . Ill be down for a while (pain pills are fun ) but all is good and ill see ya all soon :)

P.S. wear your gear :rulez:

Sounds like at least $1200-1500 in damage. The tank is $824, cowling and windshield is about $400 on Ron Ayers, not including anything underneath. You can get them cheaper other places, but you might want to consider an insurance claim and repair it yourself. You'll come out way ahead.

did a price estimate on bike bandit for all oem - the exhaust looks like 2200 for oem parts + labor and the exhaust is 1200 so i hope they dont total it that would suck , i worry about insurance claims adjusters . if the repair gets up there they just total it and leave you with out the bike , that would suck.
