[QUOTE="madmike2, post: 402475, member: 151"] Dayang!!!! News like this makes my heart sad for you. Sorry to hear (and see the results of) your...er...uhm...adventure. Make an appointment and have your DR. look at that ankle. A hairline fracture can feel like a sprain. It looks like your gear "gave it's life" for you. The damage to your gear roughly parallels what I did to my jacket and pants during a low speed low-side. That's one of the main reasons I replaced it with Kevlar. I wondered how it would have done if I'd been going 45 or 55 or more? The bike parts are easily replaceable, though not inexpensive. And then there's that "reminder" when you see them. Of course, now you can have one of the cases repainted so that you have a "replacement" should this event repeat itself.......J/K. I was able to straighten my Wild Bill bracket by clamping it in a vice and using a rather large adjustable end wrench (16"). Heat isn't likely to help aluminum like it does steel. [/QUOTE]
