Nice low slung look to that harley. Don't see too many (any?) like that around here.
What did you have a run in with?

I was heading straight through an intersection and a lady was turning left in front of me. She punched it at the last second. I couldn't stop and t boned her, did the acrobatics onto her trunk and she was still moving which then flipped me off of her trunk into the middle of the intersection.
No helmet and the only injury I had was a dislocated wrist and broke the ends off both arm bones on one arm. Now I'm part metal but pretty much back to normal and itchin to be riding again.

You were lucky. I dislike looking like a mushroom head while riding but I try to do ATGATT ( all the gear- all the time , thanks xsjohn ).
How'd the bike fair? Repairable?

The bike got totaled. The backbone was bent under the gas tank, and from laying on its side running, the back jug started spraying oil every time you started it. It broke off the steering stops on the neck also so I'm guessing the neck was probably out of wack.

I'm buying an old school style 3/4 helmet for the next time around so I can be legal, but that's the only reason. Oh well, I'm not so young and still stupid I guess. It's a hell of alot of fun though.
