Mike's Boo Boo



Mike's bike was a bit scratched up - windshield trashed hand guard gone, fairing and bags scratched and scraped. Going over Galena Summit, a mountain pas about 20 miles north of Ketchum, Mike had puled onto the shoulder to take some pictures. he hadn't anticipated the soft and uneven sand and his bike went over at about 15 mph. Mike hit hard on his shoulder and helmet and had a slight separation of the shoulder but little other damage. The bike was as described. a passerby helped Mike patch together the windscreen, and he made it to Ketchum OK. Mike got a can of Krylon and I chipped in some more cable ties, and with Jay's suggestions, we cobbled together a pretty good solution to the windscreen. It's now about 1200 miles since Ketchum and the bike (and Mike) are doing just fine.
