After - Side view
I had a little accident about 2 months after I bought the bike. Apparently a Toyota Landcruiser decided that it wanted my lane in an intersection in a mad dash to get its driver to work one morning. I think its true what they say about motorcycle accidents...........9 times out of 10 it is ALWAYS the automobile's fault. I learned again to be on the lookout for people cutting you off mainly due to the fact that they either don't see you................or they don't know how to drive. I ended up throwing my bike down and doing a little Jhonny Bench slide for about 30' as suppossed to hitting a truck head on. Good choice I thought. And to top it all off, the guy stopped........looked back, then drove off like nothing even happenned. Somebody explain that one to me. Anyways, I tried to look at this as an opportunity instead of a downfall and replaced everything with all new ABS plastic fairing pieces (including the lower) along with a cool smoke-tinted windscreen
