Ive only been riding for about 2 weeks now. I bought a brand new gs500 so I could take my time and learn the right way. And i love it btw.
Well tonight i was riding through this little town in between country backroads. This damn dog ran right out in front of me . I tried to avoid him but there was no time. Next thing i know im rolling down main st.
I think i went over the bars but im not real sure.
Anyways the bike slid on its right side about 30 or 40 feet down the road as well.:crying:
The fairings arent cracked at all, just scratched up (I can live with that) But the front brake lever is bent to hell. engine case (i think thats what its called?) is scratched up, right peg is gone, right mirror is gone, and the tip of the bar(to the right of the throttle) is all bent to hell.
I was wearing my jeans, icon lid, gloves, and a mesh armor jacket so im ok except for some leg rash and a shoulder thats sore as hell.
What should i do about the bike? Im brand new to riding and dont know the steps to go through. I rode it home so its not dead or anything, but couldnt something be damaged that i cant see, like the engine or something? Do i need to replace the whole clip ons or do they sell the little end piece alone?
Im kinda in the dark here and wonder4ing how much itll take before i can ride again. I have a 1000 deductable so i hope its below that so i dont have to involve them.
Thanks
