^ Having heard the story from the horse's mouth and now seeing the pics again, I can say that's everything that's wrong with this thread

I'm the kinda guy who hates seeing physical reminders of such unfortunate incidents. I certainly don't document mine - I have no time for looking back on things like that! But okay, I get the fascination...people do slow down and rubberneck every time there's an accident.

OP: how about the other side, tho? Post a pic or two of one of your bikes - thanks!

Oh, and welcome to the Forums
