Glad you're ok, mang.  35k without a crash is damn good. 

I know riders are supposed to be supermen, and are expected to perceive every danger before they hit it, but sometimes shit happens.  Oil is one of those "shit happens" things.  Good to hear that neither you or the bike are FUBAR'd.

Yeah basically =) My friend says there are clutch sliders. I never heard of those  Huh?

So I still need a Clutch Cover, one Bar end maybe a Break lever. PM me if you guys have some stock parts laying around. Does anyone know who can touch up the paint on the tank. No Ducati Dent just scratched up a little.

Also I think I forgot my Rizoma Mirror in your Truck and I have your lock to return so let me know where I can drop that off to you.

Sucks, man.

Glad you're unhurt and that the bike is likely fixeable.

Take care.

Oil is one of the many hazards out there that we have little control over. I am glad you made it through ok.

You know, if you ran an open clutch cover, the springs would've just hit first, bouncing off the pavement and standing the bike upright for you, thus resulting in no damage. You should consider it.

Heh

I am convinced that if the stock clutch cover was on the bike I would have been able to ride out of there. I bought the bike like that and the bling was nice but going forward I am just getting a metal cover

Just stop dropping it on the ground.  Problem solved.   cheeky

Hey, you walked away from the accident and only had a couple hundred bucks in repairs?!  Hell, most of my maintenance bills are more than that.  And I have a lot of maintenance bills.   Lips Sealed

Does this bike make my butt look fast?

Sounds like you got off lightly. whew!

As I typed that I realize there are all sorts of possible meanings, but let's not go there this early in the morning....  Lips Sealed

Relieved to hear it wasn't worse. I know that exact ramp, as I take it whenever I'm riding down to Nichol's. It's a strange one, and no doubt has oil similar to a toll booth as inattentive drivers brake hard at the second curve and then hit the gas to get back up speed for the merge. [stoopid drivers...  Angry]

Say hi to duqette (my red M750) at Nichol's!  Smiley They're the best.  waytogo

I got the bike back today.

I put 60 miles on it on the way home today and it feels better than it did before the accident.

Thank you all for the kind words.

If anyone has a cheap Clutch Cover for sale let me know.

Thanks
Robert
