Glad you are safe - there's always tomorrow for the bike, YOUR safety is by far the highest priority!

Kaw-a-holic never made it with the flag. I rode up to Motor Heads camp to fill him in on the news. He said he didn't have time to make it all the way to Missoula and sounded like he would be returning tomorrow. He talked about different routes he may take. He talked about meeting up with Gary in the John Day area. All we can do now is wait to see what happens.

Made it home safe. Sent the bike home with dad. She will be up and running for the Rally at 4 Corners.
As for the flag. It has officially been in Idaho on a KZ. I overnight the flag to Motorhead and keep it move. Sorry if that cheats you out of signing it Mike. That was the whole point of taking it that way.
Let me know what you guys would like me to do. Did Motorhead give you a good contact number Mike?

He has his cell phone but absolutely no service where he is at. I'd try him again tomorrow. If I don't sign the flag it won't kill me. I still want pics of the bike! As for a front end.....boise.craigslist.org/mcy/3911642975.html

Sorry to hear you crashed, Kaw-A-Holic. Meet Mike at the camp ground. How about we meet back where you crashed, or the town Kooskia.? Otherwise I'll head back to Bend. I'll all you.

Damn! Glad to see you standing upright. That looks pretty painful. Silly question, did the rearsets survive? :(

:laugh: Yes, they are tough. Scratched up the ends but not much more.

I was coming around a sharp corner, spooked a deer on the the right hand side of the road. He jump over the guardrail from right to left. I applied to much brake and the corner was to sharp. I got around the deer but did not have enough road left to get around the corner. New chip seal with loose gravel on the edge. Once the front tire hit the gravel it was game over.
