History:
Spring of 2005 -- Bought a '95 Monster (red, w/ 60s Diana paint on tank). Joined TOF.
Summer 2007 -- got lane-changed into on the 110 N, bike bounced off center wall and landed on me, breaking leg in two places. Monster totaled.
May 2008 -- bought a '95 900 SS (not a Monster, I know), tried logging in at TOF, which is how I found this place.
Thanks to all for making this happen.
Welcome, glad you found your way here. [thumbsup]
Your accident sounds scary, hope you are all recovered from it. :o
No matter that your current bike is not a monster, we'd still love to see pictures of it if you get a chance. :) [moto]
Welcome.
Post up some pics of the bike
Thanks! The accident sucked, mostly because I really liked that bike. I was on my way home, having just picked it up from Moto Servicio after a big service.
And then in a cast for a almost two months (Summer months, mind you), another I don't know how many weeks of PT. But everything worked out. And one thing about the experience: Every single medical pro -- from the EMTs to the ER to the bone doctors to the PT staff -- every one of them was so cool. I was definitely well cared for.
Thanks again for the welcome.
And the photos. Here's the departed Monster:

And my recent reenactment of that same photo (same tankbag, even ;D):
