[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 745638, member: 3536"] I hated to open this email when? I saw the title and dang, that looks painful from a lot of aspects. Heal fast. Sure glad you weren't wearing just a silk-screened T-shirt. I actually think you lucked out (karma?) more than you realize in that corner having the steel barrier. If it was your bike and not a previous car that put that dent in the barrier, there was enough speed there to do more than leave a mark. Those damned things have broken backs. I used to work with a guy who lost an arm to one (he'd had a few beers) as it went under with the bike while he went over. Seeing those barriers automatically slows me down. We really are just coming out of Road Repair Season and into the Hot Tar Snake Season. I hit a couple of those camo road repairs last year and am not so sure that even leaving your sunglasses off would've caught the hazard. Especially after already getting into the groove of riding for several hours. I doubt you would've made it away from the scene without that carbon alternator cover. More good chit that done it's job. Sure would hate to see the fleet miles leader lost. Maybe it'll just buff right out, right? [/QUOTE]
