Just saw this thread.

Hate to hear that you went down.  Love to hear that you're gonna be okay!

Best to you and godspeed in the recovery.

Glad to hear you are OK. I remember going down a couple years ago.
You're up and suddenly on the ground sliding. Take it easy, you will hurt for a couple days.
Let us know if there is anything we can do!

Glad you are ok!!

Adam Adam Adam.

Ok...I got nothin'. Just glad to hear you're OK.

Glad you're ok mate, now post those IZ_ pictures already!

So, few days later, how ya feeling?

What's the word on the bike?

Still waiting for someone from the insurance agency to stop by. Shoulder is really sore still. Ribs..not so much. Thanks for asking. How's the leg C?

Doing fine. Would below the knee still isn't healed (it's been about 7 weeks now). But I've been on the bike quite a bit and am getting back most of my fitness level. Still just a bit behind where I was about 6 months ago...

Just saw this thread as well.  Glad you turned out alright.  That adrenaline rush is something else isn't it?  I'm pretty sure I broke my patella in a crash in '04, but still managed to lift myself off the road and walk to the bike, shut if off as it was pouring oil everywhere and I didn't want it to seize, and dead lift it back up to almost upright when BAM!  It hit me that I was in serious pain and I dropped the bike back over in the yard it ended up in and walked it off for a few minutes before a nice lady stopped and gave me a ride home.  Wasn't on a Ducati, but still it sucked.

Heal up bro.

Glad you are ok IZ!!!

Man IZ, I just read this.

Glad you're alright.

Good to here the gear did it's job. Watching the pavement slide by your face is an interesting feeling  

After riding for several years, rain still puts me on edge. I'll do it, but I'll be sightly uncomfortable the entire time (and NOT because the chopped tail is flinging water up my back, and down the back of my pants)


If I could of predicted the future, I would of had some spares for you. I just off loaded some mirrors and pegs to a guy in Ft. Worth. I've got a set of handlebars in the garage, but they're prebent in the same manor as yours are now. I'd give you the ones off my 620, since I'm not riding it, but I might not be able to sell it stripped  

I promised my wife a couple months ago that I'd either put my bike into storage or sell it when we have a baby. She's afraid I'll get taken out by a texter and she'll ahve to raise it on her own.   Once it hits school age, I'm allowed back on the road   I thought about arguing with her about it, but I figured I'd loose that fight...so I'm getting everything ready to sell. That's why I've dumped all my spare parts. Bike will be next. I can't ride right now anyways until I have surgery.

Just seeing this now IZ...heal fast, climb back on!!

Thanks all!

Still sore. Cutting back on the ibuprofen. Trying to stretch more. Should be back to the gym in a couple weeks.

Jumpt..How you been?

Pirate.. Surgery? Baby?!

Rat.. Investing in a kayak/SUP for now.  When wife finishes school..I'll climb back on to a superbike!

I'll have the handle bars off my '03 M1000Sie available in a week or so.  They are just 7/8 stock bars.  They are straight but show a little age.  If they will help you are welcome to them.  Just shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks.  PM sent!
