[agfish18]

sucks... Glad you are still breathing, check out buellsterparts.com for some used parts that would probably work well for replacements. save you some money. also many people on here have extra parts that they can give you for free or cheap.

 

[beaterbaja]

[Hammel13]

What a bummer. It could have been worse. Same thing happened to Kajer, but he got a helicopter ride and he was in and out of the hospital for a year. In the end he lost 16" of intestine and spent about 3 months in a hospital bed. Glad you're ok for the most part. Post pics when you can.

 

[brightbuell]

[anrkizm95]

^^ the guy in the pic above LIVED! The truck driver said he felt the impact but didn't know what it was and it took him a 1/4 mile to come to a stop.

 

[vanson1200r]

No, the guy in that picture did NOT live. He is VERY dead.

 

[Trill]

[anrkizm95]

I'm glad you're ok after your accident raven. As a Buell rider and a paramedic I can honestly say that I've responded to many an accident where the rider didn't walk away. Hope you're up and riding soon!

 

[vanson1200r]

His name was Brandon Lee White. He is dead.

 

[Paniller]

Glad you're ok. I almost met a similar fate today. Street Triple S cruising by as I was taking my off ramp

...my eyes weren't on the turn, almost didn't make it. Scared myself straight.
