Dropped the 695 on gravel. I'll be ok I guess.
Hope the shift lever can be bent back or I'll have a
one gear bike. Waiting for a doc to see the knee.

sorry to hear that!  Glad you're ok though  [thumbsup]

as far as the shift lever, make sure you give it a little heat before you start bending.  It's very easy to cause cracks if you don't do it properly, let us know if you need anything

pics or it didn't happen.  ;D

He sent me a photo, trust me, not safe for lunch - nasty gash across the top of the knee - he's at Presby getting it cleaned and stitched - I can probably get him back across town to N. Dallas - I think the lil' Monster may need a trailer ride - I have to work later so maybe someone can pitch in there ...

Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

damn man!

I've got a spare shorty reverse shifter for Monsters we can throw on there to get it home, or around until you get lever fixed.

not sure if it's the same fitment, but you can use my shifter for the next week or so if it is.  i can drop it off after work if it fits... chime in plz josh on fitment.

Rich is an expert at riding Monsters stuck in one gear!! [laugh]

Seriously, really sorry about the drop and the knee. Just glad it wasn't any worse. Where's the scooter now? Is it safe? I have a trailer set up for bike hauling and a pick up and I'm always looking for something to do. ;D
