Another rider down at the Bash

[Rocketman]

Wo! Glad you're OK Shawn. I just saw this thread. What a trip. And way to go guys for the rebuild. You're an incredible bunch.

 

[xzvs]

glad your okay -- whew !!

Sometimes shiat just happens and there isn't anything you can do about it. Some people think they can ride safe and never crash, I'm not one of them.
2 types of riders

Those who will crash
and
those who will crash again

Glad the injuries were all minor

 

[badassbusa03]

all i can say on the rebuild is, i had gone back to my hotel to get my spare turn signals, and before i could get back with them, there was already a set in the nose!


but none the less, those signals did get donated this week end

i also want to say that i am glad shawn is ok, and i give big props to him

i had taken off the pig spotters and was running block off plates (which were just as good as the pig spotters). Shawn had an extra set, which he told me to use and keep. THANK YOU SHAWN!

All this and no pics of the repairs.




Glad you were OK MC. Crashing Sucks !!!

Bessie's gonna need some new eyes...

MC: I hope we can fix the stator cover

 

[omslaw]

Bending the front sub frame back into proper position. What are those two on the right looking at?

Shawn inspecting the finished product. I think he's happy

 

[Revvv]

That is unreal guys.
It's nice to know that good people are still in the world.


It seems all the good people ride a Busa.

 

[bronc3]

Man Shawn, glad you're ok.

You know the main reason you crashed is because I wasn't there this year to slow you down.

absolutely! It was awesome the way the gang threw down and got MC's steed off the lame. Makes me proud to just be member.

Well done you guys!

 

[LadyHawk]

Wait 'til you see the bruise.. (I think someone got a pic of it)

You are one tough dude MC... no wonder you are a marine. Or was it just the percocets?

 

[VaBusa]

Yeah, Shawn's bruise looks painful

Kudos to the gang for getting his bike back so quickly...great group and true friends here

 

[MC MUSTANG]

Those pics are awsome, but they still don't do justice to what you guys pulled off. It is unbelievable what we all went through that night...
The bike was at wheelers the next day for a quick once over and rear set weld - he found a problem with the forks not compressing all the way - but I will get to that. The family and I are home (arrived about 10:00 pm last night). It was an awesome weekend...
Thanks again to everyone!

You know, I made a comment or two about that... wish you would have been there!
