Got Blown off the road today .

[Jayhawk]

Wow, sorry about the crash. Wish I could help on the parts, but nada. I could send you a few remaining BKing parts, though. *sigh*

 

[kozy]

Damn dude, that really sucks to hear. It seems like quite a few of our brothers have gone down lately. At least you're ok, that's that important part.

Good thing your exhaust got bent/scratched.....that means you have a good reason to buy a new aftermarket exhaust!!! LOL

 

[dtoebaert-5311]

Too bad - I hope you're right arm will be fine. Posted a question only days ago about this and got some very sensible answers - see thread 'riding with a strong side wind' - what happened to you is exactly what I was afraid off

 

[Slacker]

Sure sorry to hear about your misfortune. Those type of Max wheels are like sails during a good cross wind. Have almost done the same many a time. Wish I had some parts lying around for ya. sold my 89 and most everything else, earlier this year. Pop four Excedrin and hop in a hot tub of water. GWS!

Matt, I do have a right side footpeg with the spring, pin & cotter key. I don't have an extra mounting bracket though.

If this will help you, you're welcome to it....just PM me an address and it'll be on the way.

I have the OEM mufflers from my bike - they're from a 2005 and look as good as new!

Only thing is they're bloody heavy, so shipping to NZ will be dear oh dear..

Yeah mate , alot heavier than a front tyre , went and had a look today were it had happened and it was by a clearing of trees next to a valley and wind was straight down off the hills thru the clearing towards the lake . Just a big wind tunnel , have riden that road before with no worries. It looked like the bike had spun round on the gravel and the muffler made inroads into the tarseal . That explain the tar i whacked out of the end cap and hence all the deep scratches that wont polish out . Will replace them one day .

i priced shipping some oem mufflers to NZ from boston once, i twas about $195 USD i believe via UPS.

Thats my problem at the moment there not many Vmaxs here so the stock exhausts dont come up much , so might have to just bear with it for awhile until i get lucky . Atleast i can get it roadworthy and its rideable .

Went to get xray today after that a skanky lookin nurse took me by the hand and sent me to E.D so im thinking this aint good . Another nurse then came up to me and said a doctor will be here shortly to discuss your xray . Well by now im thinking no wonder my arms sore then 10 mins later they take me to the plaster room and by now im thinking you got to be kidding .
Ends up i have a stress fracture and no they dont plaster for that as ive got to keep it moving even if i cant straighten my arm , must of whacked it good .:ummm:

 

[naughtyG]

Mate, go get yourself some Arnica Montana if you haven't got it already. You won't believe how much it helps in such cases, I have years of experience and swear by it.
Should be able to find it in either cream form or (better) in homeopathic remedy form at any decent heath food shop, and most good pharmacies.

They saved my leg not to mention my Max .
Scratched the shit out of the guards but motor untouched so i can live with that.
Saved my lights from getting smashed also . :clapping:unk:
