A member here, KawiGrnNmyVeins, went down Sunday night around 9 p.m. He is doing fine and came out pretty lucky all things considered. Ribs got messed up and he is pretty sore but all in all doing well. Dog ran out in front of him leaving his girlfriends house. Bike is messed up a little but doesn't look too bad to me either. Have to wait and see what the insurance adjuster says.

Just thought I would let you guys know about it.

we have so many critters in north arkansas every ride is an adventure here . last night was riding with a friend on a cbr 1000 rocket bike. came around a long downhill sweeper possum in middle of corner. friend hit it with foot spun it around. i thought i was going to hit it but didn't. another safe landing. my prayers are with you KGNV. RICK:(
Glad he's doing well. Best wishes, KawiGrnNmyVeins! See ya in the Vulcan Forum :D You can get another bike, hard to get more Kawi Green Blood!;)
Man, that sucks to hear! Glad he is doing well...

Next time, hit the dog!! That way the bike has something soft to land on top of!

(Really - Im an animal lover...but I love my investment even more!)
He is doing well. Hurting pretty bad from the broken and cracked ribs. Spent his damn birthday like that too. Told him I would redo all his mods on his bike after he gets it back. Got to do something for his birthday too sometime.
god speed on the healing. bikes can be fixed.
take care
Good to know he is ok. Wish him a speedy recovery. A bike can be replaced, a person can't.
Good to hear he made out breathing. And hope for a speedy recovery!
*UPDATE*

He is home now and doing well. Could have been sooooo much worse! Don't know about the bike though...dealer quoted $3600 to repair it. That would be before mods. I told him if they total it he can buy it back and we will fix it up.

Good to hear about him being home already. Not too good about the bike though. If it does get totaled definitely buy it back and make it better. Just make sure to check for any damage to the frame.

Pretty certain the frame is fine. It took no direct hits but it landed on the gas tank so...gotta peel it off and have a look. Other than that the damage looked pretty light to me.
