This last Saturday I was out riding with my wife around Julian Calif when I went around a right hand bend and hit some ice while doing about 25 to 30mph, the secound I seen the ice I knew we were going down and sure enough BAM !!! it went down on the left side and flipped over to the right side and came to a stop about after 60 or 70ft. all I remember is hitting the ground and tumbling, when I stopped I was amazed there wasen't a scratch on me. I was wareing leather chaps, steel toed boots and a jacket with armor padding, the only sign that I crashed was a hole torn in the toe of one of my boots.
The wife wasen't as lucky, she had a deep gouge (SP?) in the front of her helmet and banged up her leg pretty good but nothing broken.
She will be hobbling around on crutches a few days.
All in all we feel lucky we didn't slide into anouther vehicle and no one else was envolved.
I am guessing it will cost about $5000, to $6000 to repair and take about a month before I get my bike back.
I decided I was going to ride my wifes bike, a 2006 Shadow Areo till she feels up to riding it again, This thing feels like a mini bike compared to the wing, and has no fairing to protect against the wind and cold mornings
God I miss my wing, and its only been two days since the accident :shock:
How will I servive till I get the wing back :?:
