    Wow, that sucks. Sorry to hear this. It's a reminder that occasionally we can succumb to events beyond anyone's control. The outcome would have been much worse on a traditional cruiser. Get rest, heal up.

    Simon, it was on I71 southbound at the frank road/104 exit east, a lot of tar patching and that morning extra special sauce. Thanks everyone, usually I ride in Icon elsinore hp boots and Duluth pants(convinced to get them from here) and Fox creek leather, just an odd morning thinking it would be too hot later, sweat is easier to wipe off. The bars will just be touched up, not sure if I will try to replace the madstad mounting plate, just the mirror needs attention or super glue.

    I checked my bin and all I have is the glass and the amber housing. You're welcome to those if you need them.

    i did a quick search for mirror brackets and found the following. May be some cheap knockoffs, but it's only holding the mirror.

    Oddly, my first time down was on 104 just south of that exit. But...that was back about '79 or '80. (Lived in Grandview, worked just north of Chillicothe at the time)

    That whole area used to be popular for fuel and oil spills. That was back when the 'trash burning power plant' was still in operation...all kinds of crap on the roads around there.


    Sorry for your pain, Man.

    Hope you have a speedy recovery on the insurance part I have State Farm and I can use the medical from my car or truck if I crash the
    bike.
    You may check your company or state law to see if it will apply in your case.

    Very sorry to hear of your accident and injuries. But shorts on a bike? Again, I truely hope you recover fast and that you are able to ride again soon. I had an accident many years ago, but I used to never wear a helmet (at that time the state didn't mandate it). I looked like rain later in the day so I wore it keep from getting beat to death with rain drops. Long story short, I came to a stop light, it went green and a car ran the red. Caught me broadside and the helmet hit the ground and the sound it made told me I was lucky. Sounded like a 12 guage going off next to my ear. If I had not had it that day, i would be seriously injured for life or dead. Since that day, I ride with a helmet.

    Please remember your near miss and correct accordingly. Get better soon!!!
