The bike, I'm not sure yet. I had to email a whole lot of pages of parts that I had bought when I did the build over to the Harley Davidson Collision Center and they're working with my insurance adjuster to come up with an estimate. I'm not sure how that will go because I doubt the dealer has ever worked on a bike like mine. Full air suspension, rake kit, 26" front wheel. I couldn't even find anyone in Portland to mount my tire last time I replaced it. And I'm getting better especially in the last few days, down to just a few pain pills a day and able to do a few things. Today I washed The Beast and applied Top coat F11 so I should be able to just hose it off for a few months. My right shoulder is a bit sore afterward but a couple days ago that wouldn't have happened at all. And I need to put 2000 miles on it before it gets cold so I can do the post-break-in trans service. Might get a DD after that though. Looks like I have another bike sold so I'll have funds.

Perfect name for a perfect truck. Glad to hear you're feeling better, Red.

This morning's pictures of the ash that fell overnight from the forest fires burning in the Columbia River Gorge. The wind is carrying smoke and ash into the city. It's a weird orange outside today.

I installed the diff girdle today and it turned out to be harder than I thought since I had to pull the DJM swaybar. Go figure. Which was harder since the truck was on ramps and the suspension needed to hang to remove that. Wouldn't have been so bad if my wings weren't injured. I was finally almost done, refilling with Royal Purple, when I got my left arm in a weird position above my shoulder and it dislocated because of the fracture. I got my daughter to take me to the ER and they put it back in the socket. That hurt as much as when I crashed. Damn. Just hope I still don't need surgery.

Yep. I had no business being under my truck. No more. Just R&R from now on.

Damn guy , from a fellow rider sorry about what happened and hope to get well soon. Just now catching up on this thread.
We can take losing a bike on the page but not Red Rocket. Glad you're alive and somewhat kicking. Take it easy and rest and before you know it you'll be back on two wheels in no time. I've been in a few wrecks and was always anxious to get back in the saddle again afterwards.
