Back on topic, sucks that you went down but sounds like it could have been much worse.
It could have been much worse. I'm alive... and with all my original parts in tact.

UPDATE!

Looks like the bike is going to be totaled. $9711 worth of damage. Frame, Swing arm, sub frame, and forks are perfect. I may buy it back and just part the fucker out. I don't know what the buy back price is. Anyone looking for a track bike?

Ask about buying it back and I'll let you know depending on price and pics.

Hopefully I find out soon. The insurance company is dragging their feet.

How so? You don't think it'll heal enough to get back on? Or is is teh position of a SS? Maybe something a bit more comfortable would work.

Yeah I had knee problems before I even started riding on the street. Now I don't know, I cant hardly bend my knee at all without pain. When a dump truck rolls over your leg it fucks your shit up. If I was going to buy something right now... It would probably be a motard or a VFR800. Something a little more upright and comfortable. I wouldn't rule out a Buell street fighter either.
