Ouch

Glad your okay Jake and glad that the bike isn't damaged too bad.

I checked this area when I removed the bar. Yes, it was bent some, but not torn. I was able to push it back into place with some mechanical persuasion, close enough that the bar will mount square when I get it straightened, or get a new one.

RJ...glad you worked your way through with nothing but some bent hardware and a little bit of lost pride...!

Kinda odd you could do the cross country thing on your Glide, without a scratch, but go a few miles on Dyna BAM! :small3d007: They say that most accidents happen only a couple miles from the home, must be the bike...think it must be time for another long ride to be safe...hmmm? :newsmile030:

Glad you were OK Jake. The bike can always be fixed. As you noticed on my trip, I had a little problems keeping the shiny side up.

Glad you are OK.
Nice job of keeping your head and handling the situation.

Glad you faired better than the bike. The bars did their job. Ride Safe.

Sounds like the crash bar did it's job. Glad you're ok.

Jake,

I'm glad you are OK. Good job on straightening the bike and then braking. Thanks for the post too. It's a reminder to everyone to watch out for loose gravel, especially on turns.

Any crash you can walk away from is a good one. Glad you didn't get seriously injured (like the tread title) & the bike fared most of the "ouch" which is fixable. Maybe it's time for a nice set of Lindbars, or other after-market highway bars...?
