Dear SOB who almost hit me and took off,
I really appreciated how you nearly Tboned me at the WI Dells intersection, sent me into oncoming traffic, and sent me sideways at 30-35mph face first into the concrete. Luckily, as you were driving off my girlfriend rode my body to a sliding stop, so she didn't get worse than a small rub on each elbow. The way to drove past the policeman and I roughly a half hour after this incident knowing that your silver minivan would blend in with all of the others was really special. I ground off half my hand, but the rest of me was saved by my gear, so you don't need to worry about me. My visor is scratched to hell, but my helmet was unscaved other than the visor. It wasn't as much impact as sliding. My jacket has a few lovely new ventilation holes which greatly aids in cooling. As for the motorcycle, the cowling is trashed as well as the inner fairing plastic, but the tank, frame, huggers and everything else is no worse for the wear... Oh yeah, and the left rear view was broken off and is now MIA. Thank you for the unique mods you made to my bike and gear.
Sincerely,
Smitty
Anyone who has done a naked conversion and/or has these inner plastics who would be willing to sell them on the cheap would be greatly app'd. I've found a "cowling" for fairly cheap, but I'm still wondering how much of the original plastic I can use... I can't post pics because I don't know how, it's hard to type one handed, and I don't have a digital camera. Also, anyone who thinks it'd be cool to swap red huggers for black can PM me. (To match the fairing...) Thanks for the opportunity to vent.
