it does not take much to total out the bike. if you can do a buy back check with your insurance co. first to see if they will insure it still. other than that, if it is totaled, they might not want to have the bike and give it back to you for free. that happened when the daughter got hit on the m2 a couple years ago. then i parted it out and made a few more bucks on it. |

Wouch i went down a couple of years ago when a cat jumped out between some cars and into the spokes of my wheel on my enduro, I went down hard and got dragged by the bike and guess what i was wearing? I was in a tank top and shorts open face helmet and some of those keen water sandals and some cloth utility gloves. Now this was not the first time i have gone down BUT IT HURT LIKE HELL MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR ROADRASH. 4hrs in ER getting scrubbed out, Oh god it hurts like a hot knife scrubbing into your flesh. Here is the best part i picked up the bike kicked the handle bars straight as i could and then drove myself to the ER, I don't have 750. for a ride in an ambulance, And last time i got charged 75 for a square piece of cloth they folded and tied into a ghetto sling |

Preybird, The nurse-practioner scrubbed out a skin flap on my left hand and that hurt like a son of a gun. I can't begin to image what you when through. They did pick out some gravel from the road rash too. I hear you about the cost. I've got really good medical insurance so no worries there. Other wise I'd have had to walk to the ER.

Hey Zane, were you wearing gloves, too? |

No, I wasn't wearing gloves. If I had, I might have avoided the road rash on the back of my left hand. |
