P.S. The cordless drill in the picture is an impact driver. I should have mentioned that, as I'm not sure you can tell in the pic, and its far and above what a standard drill/driver is.

I thought the frame was tweeked in the front down tubes?  Thought the steering yoke was cocked at an angle slightly.

BTW, hows the Mrs. like her new seat?

Also, they sent me back the title.  Said it was old enough that they didn't need it after all.  I'll send it to you.

....and yes, it was quite the wild ride!

 was wondering how long it was going to take to get her off the trailer........ ::)

Figured this might be about the best place to do this. I have Nadine home and moved from the pickup into the trailer. On a side note, I almost sold the trailer recently, but now am glad I didn't as I have a good place out of the weather to store Nadine & parts. Unfortunately, I didn't think to get pictures when PC and I met up and were talking at the salvage yard in Indianapolis.
Going through the bike so far, it's obvious PC had a guardian angel watching him that day in June. See the picture of the fuel injector/mister sheared off too see how violent the collision was (not to mention the mangled front end). To have the presence of mind to jump off just prior to impact...
When she was still on the back of the pickup, I charged the battery for a few minutes, then...she started! I only let Nadine run for a second or two before shutting her off, but i wanted to see if it would still run. I was impressed. I know someone mentioned above that the frame was bent, but I haven't been able to find where yet. I'm wondering if it's going to be worth a new radiator, front forks/front end, a salvage title and some loving to put her back on the road. So until I decide what exactly I am going to do with the rest - so far I've put the seat and saddlebags on my bike, and plan to put the windshield and rear trunk on once I have new brackets made for the trunk at least - I think she will stay in the trailer.
And the cordless driver in the picture is intentional - get one if you don't have one! I purchased it today to help with loosening some of the rusted on & loctite secured bolts, and don't know how I did without one of those for so long. It makes it so easy.  ;D

Out of curiosity (it hasn't killed me...yet), what kind of boot were you wearing? I doubt that would make any difference in a wreck like yours, but thought I would ask.

I was wearing my SAS walking shoes (shame on me), but my leg was severed mostly above my usual boots, so it wouldn't have mattered really I don't think.

So glad to hear of your recovery PC! I know there's still more recovery to come, but there's Grace for that as well. Out of curiosity (it hasn't killed me...yet), what kind of boot were you wearing? I doubt that would make any difference in a wreck like yours, but thought I would ask.

8) PC buddy.......understand that GB was there to help give you some peace of mind prior to his arrival in Sparta. Now before you hear from them liars that will try to deframe my wonderful person, I was not asked to leave the pool area, I was not asked to leave the motel, nor was I at any time in police custody. However John did enough tormenting me that I did not miss you in the least bit. Now I am heading west and will be thinking of sending you some pictures to cheer you up......

Oh no!!!!  Did you do something in the pool?   :o
