I really dont know what happend to tell you the truth, I lost control of the bike though and I guess my human nature decided for me to dump the bike , if I hadent fallen off I would have hit the car. But I still am  not sure what the hell I did to fly off the bike, it just happend to fast.

I am in better spirits today. shaZam! happens, and mistakes are made. My wrist still hurts pretty bad. I went into work today at 645am and ran the mill and lathe all day. The wrist makes things a little harder to work but I made do. I am going to have it checked out tonight I beleive. and YES I HAVE FREE MEDICAL through the USAF thank God. I play guitar so I definatly need to get this wrist working right again. The bike isnt so bad. here is what I need to replace.

-crank case cover ( i think thats what its called on the right side of the engine where the Suzuki symbol is. )
-Right Gauge pod (I think I will try and make one on the lathe out of aluminum though)
-new gas tank.. (this one works but is all dented and scraped up)
-new pegs (they were allready crap anyways and Im making some new ones out of SS tomorrow)

I think thats really all I need now.

is there any suggestion on bike parts I should make or weld. I am having a tuff time thinking about them.

the V&H  exhuast pipe is all scraped to hell. Im working on replacing the system with SS though.


I appreciate everyones comments.

the bike still works and runs good , so Im happy about that. and ofcrouse most important I work and I run good still ;) .

Im going to get my wrist checked out now. I will let every know the verdic.


thanks

The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

wrist is feeling great today. bruises finally all showed up on the rest of my body though. I didnt think I landed that hard but im banged up a lil haha. nothing major though. I would have been happier if I crashed doing a cool stunt though. not on the street but somwhere controled.

gotta wait a week to make my new pegs and some other parts on the bike. damn OSHA is coming to our shop and doing a sefety inspection. so we dont want to actually do any work while they are there. the shaZam! that osha wants is retarted so we figure it best to just go play on the comp and make layouts all day.
