Dumped it on an onramp after leaving the sidestand down after gassing up on 8/19. 2 fire trucks paramedics, 2 local cops and 2 state cops responded. The fairing took the damage. Busted windshied and large crack on the inside, all repairable. I suffered bruises to my body and feel stupid. I rode the remaining 250 miles dodging rain storms with

half a windsheild. Pics to follow.

I heard about that incident on the news. Never figured it was you. Good to here you made it down to Las Vegas.
After you dumped it you could have PM'd me and I would have helped you out. There has even been some Fairings and windshields for sale around here on CL. But sounds like you'll fix it up down there.
hope the rest of your trip goes incident free.
So I got my 15 min in Co. Sprngs.:laugh: I was pretty shook up.I'll get a new windsheild thru Craigvetter.com. Patch materials from my shop in WI. Thank you all for your well wishes and concern.
More pics.

Keep safe out there, and have some fun. Looks like the weather is holding for you anyway.
Even gas prices are dropping, that always helps. B)

Camping out under the stars, there? Looks like a good area. Looks like your carrying some gear there as well.
The bike looks great with the touring gear and the back ground. That's what I call freedom!! B)
