Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Uncle Mofo on March 28, 2012, 02:51:43 PM Oh crap, glad you are OK Adam. Let us know what you need.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: WarrenJ on March 28, 2012, 02:57:40 PM Glad you guys are ok. Remember to be extra careful with yourselves for a couple of days.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: scduc on March 28, 2012, 03:08:31 PM Good to hear your ok.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: DRKWNG on March 28, 2012, 03:47:47 PM Glad to hear you're, for the most part, ok IZ. Let us know if there's anything we can do.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Grampa on March 28, 2012, 03:53:39 PM Crap.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: pennyrobber on March 28, 2012, 03:54:08 PM Good to hear you're both okay. Sad news.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: rule62 on March 28, 2012, 03:56:56 PM Horrible news. Glad that you are okay. The bike can easily be replaced.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on March 28, 2012, 03:57:34 PM oh shit!
Glad you're both fine. What happened? Back tire step out? Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: DRKWNG on March 28, 2012, 04:00:57 PM What happened? Probably ran over a nail. Or got stung by a bee. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on March 28, 2012, 04:05:03 PM Probably ran over a nail. Or got stung by a bee. Wow, really going back in the day on this one huh? Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: lethe on March 28, 2012, 04:07:12 PM Sorry to hear :P
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: phishhead1 on March 28, 2012, 04:10:38 PM bike parts are replaceable body parts are not. props to you for making it out safe and +1 for posting it
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Randimus Maximus on March 28, 2012, 04:15:06 PM Wonder why he disappeared.
He was solo on the bike. Front end washed out on him. He's better than the bike is. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 04:17:00 PM Thanks all Sorry though. I meant the bike and I are ok. Neither too bent up. A lot of cosmetic on both of us. The mrs doesn't ride.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on March 28, 2012, 05:07:06 PM Geared up? I hope so...
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: stopintime on March 28, 2012, 05:16:28 PM I'm glad you're not seriously hurt!
Is it cruel to ask for pictures :D Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Buckethead on March 28, 2012, 05:20:53 PM What they've all said ^^^.
Let us know what we can do. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 05:22:06 PM My head would've had a nice gash..maybe hole in it..behind my right ear. Scorpion helmet did its job!
Will post pics later. Amazing though how light the motorcycle was though when I picked it up from the road. Adrenaline rush!! One second riding and the next second..sliding! Happened instantly. In that second, I thought.."holy shit..I'm sliding!" and then I thought..oh shit..in going to get run over!! Stop sliding and get to bike! Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on March 28, 2012, 05:30:41 PM Yup, one second you're on the bike, the next you're not!
Again, glad you're ok. What's making the bike unrideable? I.E. what do you need? Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Buckethead on March 28, 2012, 05:31:46 PM "holy shit..I'm sliding!" and then I thought..oh shit..in going to get run over!! Stop sliding and get to bike! Haha. Been there. First roll "Shit! Cross your arms across your chest!" Second roll "Shit! The guys behind me! They're gonna hit me!" Third roll "Shit! Stop rolling, already! I gotta get to the bike!" Fourth roll "...any day now..." <stop> Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: herm on March 28, 2012, 05:38:30 PM Probably ran over a nail. Or got stung by a bee. i think that one was mine... hope everything still fits like it should Adam. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 05:43:13 PM I didn't roll though. I slid across wet pavement about 12' along the drive. Even though the wet pavement caused it, glad it was wet. Luckily, the cars behind were at the red light a ways back!!
I have two tank dings on right side. One from the pavement and one from handlebar. Foot peg on right snapped in half. The foot brake is crunched into bike. The handlebar is bent on right. Sil megaphone on right is scuffed along whole pipe. I don't know what else? I have to get pics. I got it home. Happened about a mile from home after just riding 15 or so miles in rain from work. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 05:47:52 PM No bees! >:(
[thumbsdown] Just went out to try to take pics about with my baby and was swarmed by birds that are above our apt trying to protect their nest!! Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Rob Hilding on March 28, 2012, 05:50:05 PM Sorry to hear
Hope you heal fast - Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on March 28, 2012, 05:58:13 PM Good, sounds easy enough to repair, except for the Sil. Gonna be able to find a replacement for that?
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 06:04:00 PM Hmm..Maybe just buff it out and paint the pipes all black but leave stainless tips.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: swampduc on March 28, 2012, 06:16:20 PM Glad you're ok, IZ. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 06:37:00 PM Thanks all!
Just got up and realized while right side is not good Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Buckethead on March 28, 2012, 06:39:03 PM Yeah...
You're gonna want to dose up on ibuprofen, super hydrate, and probably stretch before you go to bed tonight. You're still probably gonna feel like you got hit by a truck when you wake up tomorrow, but every little bit helps. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: thought on March 28, 2012, 06:53:35 PM glad you're ok man, anytime you can walk away is good :)
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 28, 2012, 06:57:41 PM Oh shit! I just sneezed for first time!! Ahhhh.. My ribs!!
My allergies are going nuts too. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: muskrat on March 28, 2012, 07:17:55 PM sorry for your miss fortune but glad to live to tell the tale.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Dirty Duc on March 28, 2012, 07:22:26 PM Bummer!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: zarn02 on March 28, 2012, 08:24:40 PM Misadventures like this are never fun, but it's good to hear you're not too much the worse for wear. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: He Man on March 28, 2012, 08:30:20 PM sorry to hear man. sounds like you are pretty good. glad to hear that!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: cokey on March 28, 2012, 08:42:01 PM Long as they don't hurt when breathing normal, your just sore.. take it easy.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: MadDuck on March 28, 2012, 09:40:35 PM Good to hear that you're OK, mostly anyway. I hate the rain. A couple of months ago another rider in our group, Sta, & I had to go through the worst rain I've ever ridden in on a downhill freeway coming over a small mountain pass. I was in constant fear of hydroplaning and was aiming for the tire tracks from the cars in front of me before the water could could flow back over. It was fricken awful. Then the visors started fogging up. Getting soaked was the minor part. [roll]
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Howie on March 28, 2012, 11:04:12 PM Sorry to hear. Most important is you are pretty much OK. Rest up and take it easy. The bike will wait. Think about seeing your doctor to be on the safe side, though I wouldn't be smart enough to.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: duclvr on March 29, 2012, 01:47:03 AM sorry to hear about the accident, glad you're ok.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: MikeZ on March 29, 2012, 03:07:50 AM Sorry to hear about your slide. Glad you made out OK for the most part.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Speedbag on March 29, 2012, 03:23:12 AM Yikes.
Glad you're more or less OK. [thumbsup] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: zooom on March 29, 2012, 03:37:34 AM Yeah...

Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: ab on March 29, 2012, 03:53:30 AM Sorry to hear. Glad it was not too bad. Get better soon. [thumbsup]
Broken rib sucks. No motion and lots of pain killer. [bang] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: CDChase1981 on March 29, 2012, 04:09:19 AM Sorry to hear about the slide, but glad you're ok.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: The Bacon Junkie on March 29, 2012, 04:10:28 AM Dude!!!
I'm just seeing this now... Glad you're in one (if slightly banged up) piece! It's easier to bolt new pieces onto the bike, than onto you... [bacon] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: ducrider45 on March 29, 2012, 05:38:11 AM Falling is almost never fun. Glad to hear that you are ok.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on March 29, 2012, 06:05:17 AM 100,000 miles between my two Monsters since 2003..accident free. There've been a lot of close calls so I've been pretty lucky until now. Well, very lucky in this since it was so minor. The Duc is probably going to go away for awhile. When the wife finishes her MA though, I see a new one in the future. Kind of sucks though because in the last six months, I went from two monsters to one and now to 0. I got this little rugrat to take care of though so it's probably for the better
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Grampa on March 29, 2012, 06:27:33 AM A Ural is the answer.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: KnightofNi on March 29, 2012, 06:31:40 AM Glad you're doing ok my hobbit friend! [thumbsup]
The bike will come back if you really want it to. It's you that we are more concerned with. :-* (for serious) Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: sugarcrook on March 29, 2012, 06:40:22 AM A Ural is the answer. Way to kick a guy when he's down. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Slide Panda on March 29, 2012, 07:03:51 AM Heal well Iz. Tomorrow will hurt more :-[ but then you should be over the hump :) if it's just bangs and bruises. Never hurts (pardon the pun) to visit the doc though.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: dark_duc on March 29, 2012, 08:13:54 AM Sorry to hear but glad you're OK. [thumbsup]
I hate the rain but find myself in it often...Gotta love Oregon. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Grampa on March 29, 2012, 08:15:49 AM Way to kick a guy when he's down. What? It's like a bike with a built in walker....sans tennis balks. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: bevel on March 29, 2012, 08:17:12 AM Heal up IZ
And it sounds like its upgrade time [thumbsup] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: triangleforge on March 29, 2012, 08:42:19 AM Just saw this - I'll join the chorus: So glad you're alright!!!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: duccarlos on March 29, 2012, 09:24:20 AM At least this didn't happen in FL. The chances of you not wearing a helmet were a lot higher then.
Where are the IZ_ pics? Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Goat_Herder on March 29, 2012, 10:39:08 AM Sorry to hear that. heal fast and hope to see "both of you" back on the road soon.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NorDog on March 29, 2012, 10:45:41 AM Just saw this thread.
Hate to hear that you went down. Love to hear that you're gonna be okay! Best to you and godspeed in the recovery. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: VisceralReaction on March 29, 2012, 11:46:54 AM Glad to hear you are OK. I remember going down a couple years ago.
You're up and suddenly on the ground sliding. Take it easy, you will hurt for a couple days. Let us know if there is anything we can do! Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Heath on March 30, 2012, 12:32:37 AM Glad you are ok!!

Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on April 03, 2012, 04:04:43 PM So, few days later, how ya feeling?
What's the word on the bike? Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on April 03, 2012, 05:25:11 PM Still waiting for someone from the insurance agency to stop by. Shoulder is really sore still. Ribs..not so much. Thanks for asking. How's the leg C?
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: NAKID on April 03, 2012, 05:28:18 PM Doing fine. Would below the knee still isn't healed (it's been about 7 weeks now). But I've been on the bike quite a bit and am getting back most of my fitness level. Still just a bit behind where I was about 6 months ago...
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: BMiller on April 05, 2012, 10:53:43 AM Just saw this thread as well. Glad you turned out alright. That adrenaline rush is something else isn't it? I'm pretty sure I broke my patella in a crash in '04, but still managed to lift myself off the road and walk to the bike, shut if off as it was pouring oil everywhere and I didn't want it to seize, and dead lift it back up to almost upright when BAM! It hit me that I was in serious pain and I dropped the bike back over in the yard it ended up in and walked it off for a few minutes before a nice lady stopped and gave me a ride home. Wasn't on a Ducati, but still it sucked.
Heal up bro. [thumbsup] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Jumptship on April 05, 2012, 11:32:00 AM Glad you are ok IZ!!!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Le Pirate on April 05, 2012, 11:43:58 AM Man IZ, I just read this.
Glad you're alright. Good to here the gear did it's job. Watching the pavement slide by your face is an interesting feeling ;D After riding for several years, rain still puts me on edge. I'll do it, but I'll be sightly uncomfortable the entire time (and NOT because the chopped tail is flinging water up my back, and down the back of my pants) If I could of predicted the future, I would of had some spares for you. I just off loaded some mirrors and pegs to a guy in Ft. Worth. I've got a set of handlebars in the garage, but they're prebent in the same manor as yours are now. I'd give you the ones off my 620, since I'm not riding it, but I might not be able to sell it stripped [laugh] I promised my wife a couple months ago that I'd either put my bike into storage or sell it when we have a baby. She's afraid I'll get taken out by a texter and she'll ahve to raise it on her own. [bang] Once it hits school age, I'm allowed back on the road [laugh] I thought about arguing with her about it, but I figured I'd loose that fight...so I'm getting everything ready to sell. That's why I've dumped all my spare parts. Bike will be next. I can't ride right now anyways until I have surgery. Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: RAT900 on April 05, 2012, 11:59:55 AM Just seeing this now IZ...heal fast, climb back on!!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on April 05, 2012, 12:03:31 PM Thanks all!
Still sore. Cutting back on the ibuprofen. Trying to stretch more. Should be back to the gym in a couple weeks. Jumpt..How you been? Pirate.. Surgery? Baby?! Rat.. Investing in a kayak/SUP for now. When wife finishes school..I'll climb back on to a superbike! Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: MikeZ on April 05, 2012, 12:22:23 PM I'll have the handle bars off my '03 M1000Sie available in a week or so. They are just 7/8 stock bars. They are straight but show a little age. If they will help you are welcome to them. Just shoot me a PM if you are interested.
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on April 05, 2012, 12:25:46 PM Thanks. PM sent!
Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: Bill in OKC on April 05, 2012, 02:17:25 PM Sorry to hear you crashed. Glad you are recovering! Glad the ribs are not too sore. Get well!

Jumpt..How you been? Pirate.. Surgery? Baby?! Rat.. Investing in a kayak/SUP for now. When wife finishes school..I'll climb back on to a superbike! Eh...I've got some serious numbness issues in one of my hands. I did a little tip-over-the-handlebars action on the mountain bike last summer, and now by the time I get to the stop sign at the end of my street, I can't feel anything. Doesn't make for safe motorcycling...atleast for me. I don't feel safe. Anyways, no baby yet, but I think we're planning on some baby news by the end of the year...and since I can't ride the monster right now anyways, she's probably going up for sale in the next couple months. It actually hurts me a little inside just typing that out [laugh] I've seriously considered just taking the battery out and draining the tank, to put it in storage for a couple years (until the future spawn is out of diapers), but I don't have a garage to put it in at the moment...and I'd feel bad letting it sit and slowly die in my storage shed :'( I'm hoping I can find a good new home for it, and in a few years when all ready again, I can pick up a new something. Probably a multistrada. BTW--I've been looking into other things to fill my need for fun and speed (but safer to make the wife happy). SUP looked a little slow for me, but I've been eyeballing one of these pretty hard: (http://sailmagazine.com/sail-buyers-guide/HobieWild.jpg) Either way, I'll probably be a non-motorcyclist member of the DMF for a couple years. Hope no one minds [laugh] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on April 06, 2012, 08:44:36 AM That looks fun! Not sure we have the wind for that around Lake Austin. Definitely not the space.

[thumbsup] Title: Re: IZ went down Post by: IZ on April 07, 2012, 08:46:13 PM OK all..I'm thinking I will keep the bike. I don't know if I can live without her. One of the reason's I moved back to Austin..it's a fun place to cruise around and make a little noise. [evil] I planned on giving the old 620 to my son too when he is old enough and wants to tinker around with a "classic".
So, I'm wondering though..I have been wanting clip-ons. When they fix it..since it will not be the exact same as I have it now anyway (pic below)..you all think I can get some for it instead of the stock? Are prices comparable..off the top of anyones head? I haven't had time to research at all. A new tank will probably be aluminum too for aftermarket. I'm wondering if they'll paint it the way it was. Also..the SIL megaphones may be hard to get hands on. Think they would go with something comparable? I have never dealt with a bike getting fixed by insurance. Cars..yes!! Many times, unfortunately. Some of you may know this. [bang] Anyway, it's being towed to the shop this week.

If the frame, motor, swingarm, and suspension are ok, I'd definitely buy it back. Title: Re: IZ went down 4/17-bike is being totaled Post by: DucatiBastard on April 17, 2012, 02:15:49 PM Check your options on retaining the bike. I'm sure the laws vary but in MO if a vehicle, older than five years, is totaled and the owner retains it, the title is not branded at all. On a newer vehicle, the title is branded "Prior Salvage" after the car is fixed and inspected by the State Highway Patrol.
Also, glad you're ok-ish! Title: Re: IZ went down 4/17-bike is being totaled Post by: NAKID on April 17, 2012, 03:46:01 PM That really sucks Adam!
It's not likely anything major, I'm sure the cost to repair the items exceed the % they have assigned before they total it. It's an older bike so they probably don't assess a whole lot of value to it. When I bought my crashed bike back it cost me 1300 so you may be able to get it back cheap...
