UPDATE - Parts needed - I heard the song of the sausage creature...

[never2loud]

Damn Ryan, that is some crap news    But I am glad to hear you are as well as you are and I sure hope you get your bike back up and on the road soon.  Very cool you had your gear on - I've been SOOO tempted to ride in the summer with a really minimal list of "must-do" protective gear... Actually thought about riding to lunch the other day without a jacket... WTH!

Hope you're back to 100% soon

DUDE!  Sorry for your wreck. At least your fine. I take it insurance will make your bike like new again, huh? Hope to see you on two wheels again soon.

Not even bothering with insurance. Deductible is $500 and it looks like about a grand will have her near to perfect. That's WITH spending close to $500 for the new Termi muffler. Rich D was gong to help me out with a hammer and some welding on the old one, but once he saw the pics he deduced it was toast. I don't blame him. Looks like more trouble than it's worth.

Well, to replace the helmet and back protector it'll run a bit more than a grand, but as Bryant kept telling me, "that's cheap insurance."

Besides, I'm sure they'd screw me for more than that extra money above and beyond the deductible with a rate increase if I claimed it.

Good thinking Ryan. Sometimes it's just best to keep the accident repairs "in house". Especially when it's minor cosmetic stuff like this. Insurance companies can get excited about motorcycle accident damage. Helmets, jackets, boots and gloves are expendable. They are like gas and tires. They do their job, get used up and get replaced. Can't get sentimental about gear. It's like a bus, another one will come along in ten minutes.

WORD!

All I can say is that I totally feel your pain, seeing as how I totalled a Monster within the first month of having it  .  I was not happy, for sure.  Glad that you are perfectly fine, though, and that your bike is going to make it through ok.  Don't know if this was your first crash or not, but if it was, welcome to the club.  I can guarantee that it will not be your last.    Better that YOU are ok than your bike though.  Bikes, while they might have their own "personalities" after being customized here and there, are replaceable.  You are not.

Ryan,

Scary stuff, but I'm glad to hear that you are okay.  I checked your list of parts needed against my small inventory of spare parts for my SC.  Unfortunately, I don't have anything on the list. 

I'm looking forward to seeing the changes in appearance associated with replacing the damaged parts.  There just aren't enough modded SC's out there these days.  (maybe I should do something about that, huh?  )

[fastwin]

I hear they are nice when modded out.

That's a good idea.  If it's possible

[♣ McKraut ♣]

with RichD + beer, anything is possible...

I think it's possible...

Like McKraut said: All it takes is beer (and some Argon, and a few Amperes of current...)

I already mentioned I've seen them bobbed back...
But Ryan is anticipating the next crash and is wanting to keep the full size "frame slider".   

[♣ McKraut ♣]

it also puts on a serious light-show i found out...entrancing.

[Ideapimp]

Shortie exhaust? You guys don't like my $500 frame slider? Sure it only works on one side, but....

Ryan,

You ever figure anything out on the handlebar thing? Did you ask Tommy if those were stock bars on his bike when you bought it? My Back in Black was stone stock except for the custom AMS BiB paint job and Termis. All the work done to it was from that point forward. It definitely had the original stock factory bars. I had AMS change them to the factory "comfort" bars that are about four inches taller than stock. The set I left you are the stock Sports 1000 factory bars... at least the ones that came on my bike. Both scooters are '06 SC1Ks so I would think they would be the same. Obviously they are not, I believe you. I'm 100% sure about mine, so I guess that leaves the bars on your bike as it came from Tommy as the X factor. Let me know what you find out. Puzzling evidence.
