Eh, the bike can be fixed. All you got was a bit of rash. Fix 'er up and go riding again!Chris

If you fall off the horse you get back on her. Its your bike so let it rise from the ashes as a new creature!! Well, that may be kinda strong, but you know what I'm sayin!! We all have different opinions on "hookin' up" our bikes, but I'm like you. If only I had more money.....Warning!! Will ride at anytime for no reason.

and as for all the guys sayin that my kat is one of their fav on the site.... thanks guys, it means more then you guys know..
stay tuned (even though, it will prolly take me a WHILE to finish)... cuz once i'm done with what i'm planning... it will make my bike before look like an armature build.
once again guys, thanks for all the support... today has been rough... the road rash, i dont care about... but seeing my baby being hurt like it is... it honestly makes a grown man want to cry.... your support has meant more to me then you guys will ever knowsigpicLife throws you curves......enjoy the ones you get when riding.

That sucks dude.... I'm always debating if sliders are worth it. As I said I'm sorry what happened with your bike, that really bites you did a great custom job on it and I'm sure you'll get it back where you want it again, I just wonder what the damage would have been with sliders on there. (Not to be antagonistic, I'm really curious) Anyone ever post a kat pic after a side slide with them on? My bike is still pretty much pristine and I'd like to keep it that way.

I read the whole thing, my heart goes out to you. A super Kat, I couldn't even imagine. I just rip around on my stock 600 and I think its damn fast.
Oh, and thanks for the road rash picture. I was thinking of not wearing my jacket last 90+ day.
Best of luck healing and with your rebuild.

I'm sorry to hear that you went down. I'm glad to see that you didn't get hurt too bad, but I remember the post not too long ago about you getting your new decals for that bike. Once again, sorry to hear that you just completed work on your bike, just to have it messed up.It's all good! It's goody good!
