I’m sure sorry to hear you had to dump your bike. Lots of chocolate and kitty hugs should help you heal faster.

How much damage was done to the bike?

To: Monkey Face
I went down and looked at it yesterday. The crash bar is scraped and twisted, the throttle controls are trashed, a couple lights hanging off, various scrapes and scratches. Could be worse, I was barely moving when I clipped my husband's saddlebag with my engine guard and got thrown onto the shoulder of the road. That stretch of road has a nice, wide, grassy shoulder. Only my right leg appears to have hit asphalt, the rest of me tumbled on grass.

My helmet has a beautiful gash from where I slid under the guard rail.
