Charlieboy, I'll be out in Yuma the next two weeks for work, I'll try to squeeze the cityX in my van. Let's try to hook up while I'm out there. I'll give you a buzz on Monday night after I find a hotel. Any recommendations on hotels? Company is paying... | ||

Art, I haven't figured out what to do with the bike yet. Not sure if I am going to take it back to stock, or leave it an RS. Also I don't have the spirit to go out ther and dig through her right now. | ||
| Azbueller |
Wycked, I'll go over it for you at your place or mine, I have nothing else to do to my S2 so I'm bored cause I have nothing to work on!!! Its great to see that you'll be at the Springfast. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
It would be easier to have you check it out here and I really appreciate it. drop me a pm with contact info. | ||
| Dino |
Wycked - Very sorry to hear about your mishap! Get well soonest. You will be riding by Oktober, won't you? Dino | ||
| CJXB |
Wow wycked, hate to hear about your mis-hap dude !! Glad to hear you're okay, heal fast, take care, and keep us updated !! CJ  | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
 the after x-ray for now. | ||
| Mikej |
Ouch! Looks like they put some bailing wire in there too, double-ouch! Heal well. And don't crash no more. | ||
| Tucsonxb9s |
JESUS CHRIST! Looks like something HR Giger would come up with! Can you say "A-L-I-E-N"? | ||
| Jarhead |
Son of a ***** Wycked I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Heal fast and let us know your parts list when it is al sorted. John } | ||
| Fullpower |
very sorry to here of your mishap, glad you are still kickin. what muffler were you running, and what parts failed to allow the muffler to drop so suddenly? | ||
| M1combat |
He runs the Jardine, and from the looks of the end of what's left on the bike I'd say it looks like the weld at the front broke just after the elbow. The elbow is still attached. There are some pics in the last archive. | ||
| M1combat |
Wait... My bad, I think he was running a V&H SS2R... | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
V&H SS2r adapted from an S3. The elbow pulled out of the canister, when the canister touched down that is what launched the backend into the air and ripped the rear muffler bracket apart. | ||

You know. I just remembered there was a Bueller who had his V&H pipe fall off at Torquefest. It was just outside of Spingerville on the way to New Mexico. Scary to think about what can happen if you lose a pipe. Maybe I'll rig some safety strapping... My bro-in-laws pipe (Buell Race) lost all its bands on his trip to my house from Cali. He pulled into my drive with the pipe hanging only from the header. I'm glad he didn't lose it! | ||
| Azbueller |
Thats why I like the Force pipes, welded as one piece, if I do get a XB the first thing I'll put on it will be a Force pipe!!! Wycked, you have mail. | ||

Mikel, Time to change your call sign from Wyckedflesh to WyckedElbow, WyckedBones, WyckedMetal...something like that. Just mess'n with ya. I have some extra parts, let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do for ya. "Ride it till it seizes" Ski  | ||
| Bcordb3 |
That is some X-Ray. Like I said earlier, if you need anything let me know. | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
you haven't seen the wycked shape of the torn skin Thanks everyone for the word of encouragement and offers of help. No matter how I look at it, I am still 3-6 months away from riding again. Right hand is mostly useless right now and in a few weeks they will take a graft from my hip to make up for the bone loss to the road. I figure for all the close calls and near disasters, I was due and am glad this is the extent. My friends have come out of the woodwork once again to help and my faith in the Buell community is once again strengthened. | ||
| Azbueller |
I talked to Kobie yesterday and today and we're planning a ride Saturday morning to Canyon Lake/Globe. Who else is going to join us???? I need to try out my new helmet!!!  | ||
| Xb9rski |
What time you guys headed out and how long do you plan on being out? If not an all day thing, I might go with ya. I have a lot of crap I need to do before heading back to Oki so time is limited. Ski | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Hey Don, do you want to try a PCIII? I have one I am not going to be using. Let me know what you think. It comes with a HiPo O2 sensor also. | ||
| M1combat |
Whaddyawant for it? Straight trade for a header and stock muffler? Did you need a header? | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Deal. My header got dinged good. | ||
| M1combat |
Kick •••... I'll be in Phx on Saturday for the Ren fair. Wanna meet somewhere after 6:00? I'll be headed from the ren fair to 17 then North just after 6:00. What about Fry's Electronics on Thunderbird at 6:45? If something else is easier for you due to transpo or pain issues lemme know. | ||
| Xb9rski |
Saturday ride....Won't be able to do it. I forgot, I committed to help my son with a school project of building a solar powered car at his school on Saturday. Looks like Springfast will be it for me, as far as long rides go. "Ride it till it seizes" Ski | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
not so pretty pics of elbow/arm hand comparison frontside view of the bruising where the hardware is work safe at your own discression | ||
| Charlieboy6649 |
Wycked, As long as you don't mind discussing. What did the damage: the road impact, the mountain wall, a guard rail? Your elbow hit something pretty damn hard! Do you remember the whole thing? OR did you blank out through the impact? I'm curious cuz I remember my whole accident like it what in slow mo. Every detail... You had your Rocket jacket on yes? How'd it fair? I'm wearing that one too remember... One idea I had, even before your mishap, was to buy one of those body armor suits and wear it underneath the rocket outer with the dual density pads just taken out to make room. I keep thinking that when and if I go down again I'm going to dress for the fall. I've got some GP style gloves for springfast being that your hands are the first thing you throw out in a fall... Anything I can do to help let me know. I have a shift lever if you broke yours... | ||
| M1combat |
I'll have a clutch lever pretty soon. I ordered the "shorty" gold CRG and it's on it's way. I'll have a front brake lever too as soon as I can... | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
Charlie, it was an impact with the roadway that broke it. Not sure if it was the initial when I hit on my back or the first roll, but I know from there on out it was broke. I was wearing a First Gear Kilamanjaro jacket and HD FXD overpants, not my Rocket gear. I think by feel the Rocket gear would have done just as well. |
