Lets try this again.
So if you saw my post regarding my $1400 repair you know I was excited to finally get my DS back and go for a ride. So yesterday I am finally out riding my favorite river wash when this loser on a Raptor comes around a blind corner at over 50 (his estimate) I had slowed down to about 25 and there he was! I swerved left and thought I was clear but he nailed me and sent me over the bars. I am ok cause I landed on my head [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] But my DS is a mess. Seriously I am pretty sore, but I walked away. I thank god for 2 things, first I slowed down and was ay least able to turn and miss most of the impact, and second the nerf bar saved my leg. He hit directly on the nerf bar and hit it so hard it collapsed the nerf and my footpeg mount is way bent. My rear plastic is torn in half and my lower left a- arm and tie rod are toast. If anyone has any of these part laying around and could give a shaken and broke DS rider a deal it would be appreciated.

Be safe out there!

 

Sorry to hear about your wreck. I am glad you are ok. Sorry also about your bike. I wish I had some of that stuff to give you.

 

Cammer that happened to us last yr.The only diff was the other guy was riding a big ute and my
friend was riding a cr250.The bike lost a shift lever.The quad cut a tire, bent a rim,bent the steering stem
and something in the front end.He ende going over the bars right in front of my tires.Im glad the ds has good brakes. We were going a little slow because we just past another group.
Glad your okay!Sorry i cant help you on the parts.

 

wow, that's scary, glad to hear you are ok. I sent you a PM.

what happened to the rapppy?

and did he offer any help...financially or anything?

 

Well the craptor hit me so my bike took most of the impact. He might have bent his steering post and his heel guard was smashed but thats about it. I probably was too nice about it. He said what do i want to do about the repairs and i said I guess it's just the hazards of riding and called it good. I dunno if i was still kinda stunned or what but I didn't really think about placing blame at the time. I was just happy to be ok[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Anyone know where I can get a steering post I think mine is bent as well.
Thanx

BTW I am healing up well and it has been fun to gross everyone at work out with my huge bruises [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

thats funny about the stearing stem be bent. i do believe that was the only thing that did not get thrashed in my accident. i lost both sides of my upper and lower a arms, both tie rods, my aluminum front rim. my rear axel , my rear aluminum rims and the headlight, glad to here your getting better.
