Mostly new stuff for sale; I’ll update with pictures when I get home from work.

Brand new, never used:

Hard saddle bags- Arrived a few weeks after my wreck

Cobra Sissy Bar – I was on my way home to install this when I got in my wreck.  Brand new, little scratches on one of the mounts from earlier in the day when I was trying to figure out how to install the damn things.

Ziv Peg/Floorboard relocation: still in the package, arrived about a month after my wreck http://zivney.net/pegextpics.htm

Used for about a month:

Memphis Fat Windshield (no mount) – Didn’t have the windshield on when I wrecked, you will need to pick up the mounting brackets for it as mine were destroyed in the crash. I’d recommend the quick release, it worked great.

Its been awhile since I last updated.  About a month after my last post I was in a accident involving my bike and a car.  The guy pulled out in front of me, giving me only a few seconds to brake before slamming into the side of his car..  Luckily this was in city driving, so I wasn’t going that fast, maybe 15-20 mph when I actually hit him.  I wish I could say I walked away and spent the rest of the summer riding around on my bike.  Sadly that wasn’t the case.  Instead I was hauled away with a broken knee and an entirely bruised body.   At the hosipital I spent the next 6 hours being injected, x-rayed and having figures shoved up my ass; apparently thats how they check for internal bleeding, if you ask me, I think they are just perverts…  Once they concluded it was only my knee I was sent home to wait for an opening to have surgery.  Apparently they had a weeks worth of emergencies before they could get to me.

So I expected after surgery to be feeling better.  Oh boy was I wrong.  I have never experienced anything so painful before in my life.  Trust me, I know about pain, ask my mom I wasn’t a graceful child.  I was in the hospital at least once a year getting stitches  or something growing up.  So yeah, the next two weeks I spent drugged up, constipated and unable to sleep thanks to not eating right.  Apparently fruit and stuff has this thing in it that prevents your muscles from spasming.  When you’re a wake its no problem but as soon as you start to relax, twitch twitch.  Its like when you fall asleep to fast and your whole body twitches once, well imagine that happening every time you even slightly start to drift off.  So you can guess it was a lot of fun, especially  when you got a knee where even the slightest of movements feels like a rusty nail being driven into your flesh the quickly yoinked out.

So my bike was totaled and I was to spend the next 2 months stuck on a couch, pissing into jars and begging my girlfriend to help me take a shit.

Fast forward to today, I’m still trying to recover from my accident.  Going to physical therapy twice a week and trying to stretch/strengthen my knee/leg every day.

Thats pretty much been my life this summer and now into fall.
