Mercury · 09-19-2007

I swear by it before and especially now - man... o man... just wow!

I dont know how im ever going to sleep tonight - all these things are going through my head

*ispeed77* · 09-19-2007

just take a breath. can't really compare your thoughts. my little incident earlier this year was way less dramatic. have a little something on the rocks, that should sooth you......

Mercury · 09-19-2007

i was going to get bombed but i got the dentist tomorrow

dave007 · 09-19-2007

Kenny - I added all 4 meet up locations to the route (New Brunswick for Guitar, Pluckemin for a couple of maybe's, "The After" for my friend George and his brother Pete and The ChatterBox for you). I scrapped the Somerville Circle since nobody will actually meet there. Works out well since it would be slightly off course anyway.

I also added a fuel stop in Port Jervis (we may need another one!) and the Erie Hotel for eats. It's looking good. The entire Shades of Death road is in the route too. All waypoints were renumbered so they are now completely sequential (01 to 50).

Sending an updated .gdb file now...

Hang in there bro and hope you get some sleep tonight!

you might want to be bombed for the dentist, but definitely not hungover

Mercury · 09-20-2007

Phew.... what a day - dentist and moving the bike around

dealer ship says 3100+$ damage great!

they dont sell black engine guards any more - dang - getting chrome powder coated baby - YAY!

we will see what happends

kenny

*ispeed77* · 09-20-2007

hopefully you make out well Kenny. i know i did by doing all the work myself and ordering what i want. also, having a friend with a spray booth and tons of body work know-how helped.

mkelley · 09-20-2007

Just checked out SpeedSupplies.Com Shop Distributor Catalogs Oklahoma City, OK where I bought a black highway bar for my 1999 1500 Drifter a couple of weeks ago. They only have chrome ones for the 800 Drifter. Some place else might have one in stock.

Mercury · 09-20-2007

I would love to do the work myself Ispeed - but the body work is what im worried about...

If insurance is gunna just pay and i dont just get a check then I will prolly just let kawasaki do it

kenny

*ispeed77* · 09-20-2007

nothing wrong with doing it that way. i had just purchased the Mean Streak a couple weeks before my crash and already had a ton of plans for the bike. the insurance check allowed me to put custom parts on the bike that i wanted to do later on, as well as repaint the color i wanted. it just happened to work out well for me. good luck with yours.

Mercury · 09-20-2007

thanks im downloading the pics i took now
