OK pounce2, glad you were able to mostly walk away from this. But, just like bigbird, you were ATGATT; Hopefully you two will make a believer out of sombody out there that doesn't wear at least a helmet. Good karma sent your way.

Very glad to hear you are ok-ish. Rest up, if you can!

Get well soon man.

Heal quickly! Glad you walked away. ATGATT!!

Glad you're OK Pounce2.

As a testament to my ATGATT Scorpion EXO riding pants toughness. I was having a slight problem with the snap. (no I ain't gettin fat LOL). So I asked my wife to sew on one of those "clip pants extender". My wife sews (mostly cross stitch) almost every day. She broke 4 needles trying to repair my pants. Never did penetrate them. OH, by the way, I fixed the snap with a claw hammer. True story.

Y'all please wear your dayum gear. Anything but black too.

Hiya Mark, many thanks!

Got the new handlebar on last night, the Hayabusa rearsets are going to need some fiddling so I have a proper Bandit rearset off ebay coming soon. I have to make up some bushings for the Hayabusa units but they may well be preferable once the mounting is figured out- considerably lighter and simpler, move the feet back slightly. Should be on the road by early/middle next week, in time for Halloween which is nice because I have a fake parrot mounted on my helmet for riding on the 31st.. lol
