Cager ran a stop sign and hit me on the left side of the bike. Me and the bike went airborn. Landed on the right side and stopped instantly. Rode and walked away. Minimal damage to both rider and bike. Lets hear it for crash bars and hard bags :?

They did a stellar job, with minimal damage to them as well. I just dropped the bike off at the shop to get inspected and repaired. When I get it back I will get all of the measurements and pics posted (most likely a different thread). I am at work till June 6 then I fly home. :P
