I wanted this up front and center!
Hello all! Thanks for all the info! Awesome.
Check this; I've been riding like forever, and I don't go slow so I'm told....had my first crash. Today. Bummer.
Dang that front end is light....I love the wheelies and stabbin it over jumps ditches etc but it bit my **** today.
Yes, the man that has never wrecked....
I was climbing a very steep hill (no exag) plowing trees on the way up as I was trying to make a connector trail.
I go near the top and plowed into a little bush thing that had like 5-7 little treelets? growing out? I slammed it and it kicked up high....when I was looking at the sky I realized it was time to bail. I pushed the machine to the right as I bailed left. I got out of the way but she toppled over and bent the heck out of the left side handle bar...crushed the console; top and bottom plastic, speedo lens-that seems to be it. Not much considering it could have landed on me. Then again-God bless me, I THINK I know when to bail-and I did.
Anywho, I called my dealer who is closed on Wed. (this is tues pm mind you) Told him I need Emergency service as I'm heading to coalcreek mountain in Tenn on Fri am early. He said, I've got an 04 700sp on the floor, I'll scrap everything we need off it. Bring it Thurs am and I WILL have you back running Thurs pm.
Now THAT IS SERVICE LADIES!
I'll post back and give you the finals.
PS: I KNOW it's going to cost me a fortune: that's NOT the point.

 

bbrc, hate when that happens!! the main thing only the bike bit it. glad you have a dealer that is willing to help in a tight spot. good luck let us know, especially after the trip. bring back some good stories!
