Never Before Posted Pics

[BigBSBusa]

Some of you may know that back in May I went down on Baby J during a group ride. She rode and still rides great, but doesn't look so good. Never posted up pics of her after the accident as she has been in the garage ever since. Took her out the other day and thought I'd post up the damage. I will say that the frame slider prevented some more severe damage. She's going under the knife this winter, so we'll see what she looks like in the spring!

They are a custom set made by Bad Boy Racing Products. Very nice, BTW!

Ewww ... nasty road rash. At least you're okay and the bike is still rideable.

Question though ... how fast were you going when you went down? I've never seen frame slider bent back like that.

It was on the first right-hand sweeper of the ride, so I would guess about 30 MPH.

even with the rash... still a sweet looking ride.

Thanks, bro. Gotta get her cleaned up though 'cause it kills me to see her this way!

Man, actually that doesn't look too bad. I guess it could have been alot worse. Atleast YOU were/are okay. Now you can send the plastic to our local board member (the only painter I would recommend) to get that "Custom" look!!

KEN , I was really glad that it wasn't worse, when you went down we had a toyota pick up coming around the corner, Glad to see you are getting it up and fixed again.

That's one of those 'glad I didn't know it then' kind of details. It could have been much worse.

Just not sure what color/design I would go with other than stock. If anyone has ideas let me know.

Are you going to repaint ?

I hated seeing the bike being pulled back from the ditch/drop-off as I came up on the corner. It could have turned out worse, but we are all glad it did not.

Glad to see you are going to do it back up.
