I'm fine.

Bike is in pretty good shape, minus a few dents. Will need a new front fairing, as well as a brake bracket.

Glasd you're OK. Dumping a bike really stinks. I came a hair's breath from it myself only about a week ago. F-tard in a Geo ran a red light. Thank GOD I was paying attention or I'd have t-boned him. My rear tire started to come around on me as well. We've all sang the joys of pucker factor off roading. I learned that day there's more than one type of pucker factor, and not all are FUN!

Guys with ricer bikes bringing in wrecked fairings for color matches keep us in business somedays. I cannot believe how often some people dump their bikes.

Glad you're ok.
