Sportbike + Gravel

That sucks man, at least you're allright.

Look at the bright side; now you have an excuse for investing in a full exhaust system, flush mount signals, rear sets and aftermarket fairing.

fuck insurance i got a 500 deductible. The bike runs fine, I rode it back. I was worried about the forks being bent up or something but it looks fine overall. I might get it inspected or something, but for the most part it seemed to be running okay.

my plan is to leave the upper alone for a while, basically just fix the signal (it still works, its missing a screw). The pipe I'm not so concerned about because I was actually planning on swapping it out anyways, maybe not a full system but at least slip on.
If I do decide to do something with the fairing, I'm gonna do something like this guy did (the fairing not the paint), I think it looks pretty damn good:

but eventually: fairing, slip on, HIDs, flushmounts. As money allows

thanks... yeah I definitely learned my lesson here. I overstepped my bounds and paid for it. I made it out with just a bruise on my hip. and im still picking gravel out of my jeans

gravel/dirt = no front brake, pavement spirited riding = no rear brake

you live you learn, now your bike has character and you won't feel like you need to baby it anymore.

Exactly. GM said that to me one time when I had a close call and posted it up on the forum. The only thing that's going to rid yourself of the fear of fuckng up your rig is a bunch of scratches.

Plus, girl's vaginal gaps get sweaty when you tell them about how you were flying around the corner at 95mph and you tried to break your rear tire free so you could walk it out a little and a puppy ran out into the middle of the street... you had no choice, but to sacrifice yourself, or else Scrappy was going to bite it. Waking up to a cold wet nose in your helmet, a wagging tail slapping your arm, and the thanks from the 4 year old little girl who was playing ball with him made it all worth while.... *bow chicka bow wow*
