So, Mike, how's the knee "feeling." Still on those crutches? LOL

Y'know they made a new law because of you...y'know how you said you had blue nipples well here ya go...

All inexperienced Yamaha Vmax riders should always wear chest protection and knee protection (Hence Mike)

Maybe you'll look out for that tree next time. :)

HAhaa, just giving you a hard time bud...no heart feelings?

Well thats roughly the speed I was riding and tried to dodge the puddle like I said when I went right I caught something and jerked me forward, cause my sled slowed quickly. When I got jerked forward my knee pinned my thump to the throttle and CRACK went the hood.

Ok the sled is TRASHED, well thats what the insurance company will say. The verdict from the Estimate came in, drum roll please, $4355.69! Could you beleive the charge for decals, emblems and ornaments would be $310 plus tax, and blue book is only $3000.00 roughly that is. Well if you would excuse me I am goin to go look at my Ohio and Michigan Auto Traders now.

The important thing is that your okay. Sleds can be replaced.

I looked at the picture. That's some severe damage to the machine. I wouldn't even waist my time fixing her. Drop it in the lake, say someone stole it and collect the insurance money.

Even better, trade it in on a new DOOOOOOOO brother!

Vmax, a friend of mine has a really nice 97 600 XTC for sale......He took it as a trade-in on a pick-up he had on the lot. The sled has 1500 miles on it, and the track is SHOT..... Yokohama makes a quality track, don't they?????? Anyways, he has this sled for sale for $2300 if you're interested. I took a casual look at it, and it looks to be a nice piece. E-mail me if you're interested.

Well boys a brused Knee Cap is all it turned out to be THANK GOD. If I would have had to go under the needle I would'a been mad at myself for a stupid accident. I got to work my leg a little so the muscle doesn t get to weak, but I am off the crutches now!(moonz don t reply to that) The Total Damage Amount added up to a total of $4400 US, yea like I said the sleds a gonner, o well.
