Here's hoping for you a full and fast recovery.

Wonder why all motorcycle kick stands aren't designed with the rubber safety extension as fitted by Honda.

Good Fortune!

Or the somewhat pesky side stand switch.

Ouch ! The proverbial high side. Glad your ok.

Well my friend that picked up the bike is coming over this weekend to unload it. He said the bike rolled fine and there wasnt even a dent in the tank! ill investigate the kickstand much better when I get the bike.

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys.
I can check off highsiding and major broken bones from my list of "crappy things Ive heard about but never want to experience"

Ok, came back from my doc for a follow up, did more xrays and my clavicle is too unstable. Going to have surgery next wed. Wish me luck!

Get a second opinion. Orthos always want to cut you and put nuts and bolts in. Make certain for yourself. Take charge and investigate. If needed then proceed. Always check your options.

Thanks for the heads up, and yes I would give this advice to others too but, I work in the OR as a surgical assistant. Ive worked with this doctor for almost 10 years now. He is probably one of the best sports medicine/shoulder guys on the east coast. We discussed the first and follow up xrays and it will not heal otherwise.

OUCH

Got the bike back, looks great considering! So far the only damage is bent handlebars, bashed speedo gauge, broke levers, bent headlight bucket, points and alt cover scraped to hell. I cant tell but the forks may be bent or tweaked a bit.

Either way I got the short straw


plans are to go ahead and save for a modern fork swap w big brakes

some folks take the center/and kickstand off their bikes when going 100%,track day/racing in the day ect......this and the tabs tha t keep those items gone make a cool bike...but one must find a strong pot plant to park it against at night......i see your still with the living...congrats...i was kicked by a teenager back in the day ,playing with my brothers by a creek, a river rope swing hill when i was 4 and had to go through what you now are....they beat that kid up.....my late brother rod was playing with a giant stray shepard in the pools.....and this boy yells....get ouuttta the way and jumps....broke my whole left collerbone and co.......buy some good pillows and do the rehab like it is a job......no joke...41 yrs later mine pops....

Ouch. Man that's scary. Keep us posted on you and the bike.
