Usually when we damage our bikes, we post the pics and the rest of us send notes of sympathy and understanding.........NOT HERE! The purpose of this thread is actually the opposite. When you come down from supersonic speeds, carve your beloved bike into the turn, feel the tarmac's rough surface with your knee in comfort, then, at 60 mph the motorcycle is torn from you and instantly revelations about the seriousness of the crash and ensuing damage overwhelm you....the results could only be bad or worse. When I stood up and realized I was OK, I ran to the bike, pulled it up and it instantly started! I dropped it back into gear and rode it 1 1/2 miles back to the paddock!
Anyways, I finally rolled it out of the garage to access the damage and basically was blown away at the LACK of damage! Some lower fairing scratches, big black frame slider and Woodcraft cover took 90% of the hit...EXACTLY what they were designed to do. That is really satisfying to me.....being the benefactor of MUCH LESS damage than could have been. pics below. Doyle
