        Ow man, that really sucks. Thankfully you can still tell about it.
        Will you be OK?

        Take care, Marco.

          Please tell us your OK and the bike is fixable with no frame or engine damage?

              Rob, Not good news, don't get too down on yourself. Hope you feel better soon. With your skills and experience I know the ICBM Katana can be resurected or replaced.

                Hate to hear that Rob, but the good thing is your're still around to ride another day!!

                Take your time and get well, broken bones hurt.

                PS, if you need the cases now let me know.

                  thanks all,

                  bike damage is minimal...stator cover, mirror signal and stuff. very fixable.

                  i am talking to a specialist today about pinning me back together. will know more later. the clavical looks like a camp fire.

                  it had just started to spit and i grabbed a little tooo much front brake and there you go.....

                    OUCH!! Hope you heal quickly Katman, I am not concerned for the bike, as you have shown you can really put one together nicely and quick! 8)

                        Rob is a stunt man. As such I am sure he will bounce back from this. He most likely sustained less injury than most would due to knowing how to fall properly (if there is such a thing in a case like this?). And we all know his skill with building and repairing bikes.

                        Yup my money is on a quick recovery and a fixed bike both in short order

                          Ouch. Get well buddy - as you've proven, anything can be fixed.

                            crash

                            Hi Rob, sorry to hear about your crash and hope you get well soon. I assume you were trailbraking? Does your bike feel like you need to trail brake to initiate a turn, especially sharp low speed turns like an intersection?

                              Hmm, sounded like the front washed to me. I could be wrong though.

                                Man that stinks! Glad to hear it wasn't too serious. Hopefully, you and the bike can be up and running quickly.
