The good side.
The downside of assless chaps...
Something that really wanted to poke me in the backside tore into my wallet and shredded my Genuardi's Club Card, shown here on top of the "warning" from the cop.
Just a nip off the front fender...
Tanked...A
Tach actually still lights up and displays rpms.
Tanked...B
Somehow the reservoir still holds brake pressure.
The mirror survived despite the top of the brake caliper being ground flat.
The return(?) throttle cable was pinched when the brake caliper rotated around the bar and wrenched the cable fitting out the housing, pinching it down at a 90-deg angle. Shown here righted for the return crawl.
Case guards held up well - no damage to the engine or pipes or frame.
Broken footpeg mount.
Surface scrapes on carbon fiber exhaust can.
Tail piece and exhaust can saved the turn signal anyway...
Ahhh... recovery. Sorry - wrong file...
