Wow Pete. Glad you're okay and you were in the SUV not on one of your bikes. And you look like you are smiling again, at least in one of your other pics. Uh...may I suggest next time you want to fill your freezer, just go hunting and changing your weapon of choice?

Seriously though, that looked scary ugly - glad you're alright.
Ya right, :wink: there are only 2 kinds of bikes: It's a Ninja... look that one's a Harley... oh there's a Ninja... Harley...Ninja...

Geez! Want to come hunting with me? The animals just seem attracted to you! I agree, moose is pretty good eating! But the moose I ate was shot not bludgened by an SUV.... :laughing:

Welllll, Bike is going to the shop on Tuesday. I have taken to riding it to work a few times, and yesterday morning I go to start it and "CLICK" that stupid short again..... wiggled wires around and the lights and everything would come back on, hit the starter...CLICK.... everything it dead again... finally get it started up, and notice that my side cover is off....and I can only put it back on with the key.... so I have to TURN OFF the bike to put the panel back on..... go to restart it... CLICK.... *curse/rant on!* get it started again after another 5 minutes of fooling with wires.... (fooling = jiggling around until the lights come back on) get the bike home, turn it off, and just for care and giggles I try to start it right away... CLICK.. and so it stays that way, I call the shop and they can come get it for warrentee workj...that and I am STILL getting a horrible squeeling noise from my new front brakes (which were replaced because they were squeeling, go figure) so that will get looked at as well....

I am starting to be jaded.... :laughing:

minus one!!! Yikes. I had to use the air conditioning today. No jacket required.

I'm sorry to hear about your bike woes. They hopefully will recognize that you are unable to ride it and extend your warranty accordingly.

Hes a great little guy, doesnt cry about anything really (gets a bit upset when he needs a change, but who wouldnt.) easy to get a smile out of (except when you are holding a camera....) and sleeps good through the night....

A+ for the wee guy!
