Default Repainted again...

I went down again awhile back and walked away with just a broken left clavicle. Needless to say I rashed up the left plastics nicely and cracked them. I JB welded and bondoed them up and painted the bike for a second time for laying it down. I'm not sure if improving painting techniques. Driving angry and water from sprinklers in a turn don't end up well. My bone is still broken, but I kind of stopped caring and it doesn't inhibit anything really. I cannot currently afford the surgery right now because as luck would have it my old health insurance ran out at about that time. I thought I had insurance but apparently it took 5 visits for them to tell me that my insurance expired. I'll be looking into surgery sometime in the very near future.

Sucks not having health insurance but things could have been alot worse than a broken clavicle....

really nice bike. that all black gixxer will definitely stand out.

why are you gonna need surgery? is it displaced so much? shattered in 3 pieces? its a good thing that you only broke your clavicle since they are the easiest to heal and are minimally debilitating.
