OMG, I haven't even read further yet. God, I hope you're alright....
Very happy you're alright..


I see you have a 90 model do you have collision coverage. They'll want to total it if you have a bent frame.
Options: CaptainKyle possibly still has a good 96 frame with title. PATMAX has or had a new unregistered frame...

Keep us posted and I don't care what grammar you use Bro....

Any wreck you can walk away from is a good wreck... let us know what you need for parts.... I have a BUNCH that I need to get rid of... let us know what you need.

Conrats on still being here! The frames can take some tremendous pounding and a few dings in it won't normally hurt anything but visual.

Always glad to hear that your alright. Like it has been said before bike can be repaired. As long as you are able to ride another day. Best to you on a speedy recovery.

 

[DMAN999]

I Know it sucks about the Bike, but at least you're OK and that's what really matters.

 

[Rand-5107]

It's good to be alive! Just keep riding like their all out to get you, because they are.

i " WOW " GLAD YOUR GOING TO BE " OK " ! . unk:

 

[sarchin]

Glad to hear you're OK, what a scary feeling...

 

[wlodek1980]

not a nice feeling, at least you are OKish

on the other hand you may find that replacing forks and bottom yoke (triple) will sort your tracking!

 

[dannymax]

Jeez Pop, that really stinks!! There's lots of positives tho....you walked away, a cop was there as a witness and you have lots of very knowledgeble friends to get your baby up and going again.

The grammer?....Don't give it a second thought! unk:

Sounds like the front end took most of the hit....check the stops on your lower triple, maybe one is broken....check the front wheel for run-out and see if the forks are bent. Let us know what you come up with.

Is the radiator or motor leaking any fluid?

 

[tugla]

wow you sure are lucky to walk away, glad your ok man.

 

[satariel666]

Glad you are ok!

This forum is an awesome place. The community here is so tight and I'm glad to see all the comradery. As I'm a new first time VMax owner, I don't have any additional parts or expertise to offer you poppop. Only thing I could do was contribute money to the forum to help keep it going so that's what I did. Hopefully everyone here will have back on the road in no time.
