Glad you're ok, mang.  35k without a crash is damn good. 

I know riders are supposed to be supermen, and are expected to perceive every danger before they hit it, but sometimes shit happens.  Oil is one of those "shit happens" things.  Good to hear that neither you or the bike are FUBAR'd.

LOL, i didn't mention it in the CR thread, but my buddy crashed there too  So I'm still batting 1.000. I don't think anyone is going to ride with me....

Was it just the hub and springs?

Yeah basically =) My friend says there are clutch sliders. I never heard of those 

So I still need a Clutch Cover, one Bar end maybe a Break lever. PM me if you guys have some stock parts laying around. Does anyone know who can touch up the paint on the tank. No Ducati Dent just scratched up a little.

Also I think I forgot my Rizoma Mirror in your Truck and I have your lock to return so let me know where I can drop that off to you.

Robert =)

Sucks, man.

Glad you're unhurt and that the bike is likely fixeable.

Take care.

Oil is one of the many hazards out there that we have little control over. I am glad you made it through ok.

You know, if you ran an open clutch cover, the springs would've just hit first, bouncing off the pavement and standing the bike upright for you, thus resulting in no damage. You should consider it.

Heh

I am convinced that if the stock clutch cover was on the bike I would have been able to ride out of there. I bought the bike like that and the bling was nice but going forward I am just getting a metal cover

Man, glad you made it through unhurt and that the bike is easily repaired.

Just stop dropping it on the ground.  Problem solved.   

Hey, you walked away from the accident and only had a couple hundred bucks in repairs?!  Hell, most of my maintenance bills are more than that.  And I have a lot of maintenance bills.   

Glad to hear that the damage is so minimal and especially that you are okay!  No more accidents! 

Sounds like you got off lightly. whew!

As I typed that I realize there are all sorts of possible meanings, but let's not go there this early in the morning.... 

Relieved to hear it wasn't worse. I know that exact ramp, as I take it whenever I'm riding down to Nichol's. It's a strange one, and no doubt has oil similar to a toll booth as inattentive drivers brake hard at the second curve and then hit the gas to get back up speed for the merge. [stoopid drivers...  ]

Say hi to duqette (my red M750) at Nichol's!  They're the best. 

I got the bike back today.

I put 60 miles on it on the way home today and it feels better than it did before the accident.

Thank you all for the kind words.

If anyone has a cheap Clutch Cover for sale let me know.

Thanks
Robert
