Wrecked my rocket

[mexican]

I have been riding it every day since i replaced the triple tree and handlebars. The police officer that wrote up the report on the accident told me the sheriff wrecked his bike at the same corner a year previous, and one of the random bystanders that stopped to see if i was ok told me he had wrecked his bike there earlier that year! apparently it's a common problem for bikers. I don't know why they haven't posted a sign or something. I'm fortunate I only landed in the ditch...i heard from the cop some people go off the other side of the road...of the cliff...in the mountains. :::Whew:::

Holden, we have a curve like that here in Oklahoma, is called "dead mens curve" it takes everybody by surprise, one of my friends went down at that place, the rescue team says that at last 20 bikes go down at that curve every year, not good/..

Just a thought on the sissy bar replacement. Perhaps a rear trunk bolted onto the rack would be handy and provide a backrest for the missus. There are some reasonably priced ones around.

If you can find a red tank and front fender I would send you my red rear fender and side covers in excellent condition for little more than shipping.

Now that's a generous offer. I may be able to find a red tank/fender. I'll do some searching and PM you if I Find something. Thanks!

Hey Boss, I do have all the sheet metal in silver as well as a sissy bar and rack. I do have my stocke mirrors as well as a windshield. Make ma an offer I can not refuse.

Jasper is a great place to ride, but have seen several riders airlifted out of the area.

The "wait and see" advice is worthwhile. There are still a fair number of Triumphs around Little Rock (I'm there almost weekly). Someone told me a former dealer mechanic operates a private shop there, but am not sure if they are still in business.
