    Geez.... aren't there a whole bunch of non-running Vulcans available instead of a decent bike ?

    wow, that looks like FUN!!! When I crashed like that my frame rails broke and tank got mangled as well as the front wheel split the cylinders between #2 and #3...it was on a 1995 CB1000r though.

    couple plates permanently attached to both my ulna's, lots of bruises, and a fractured femoral condyle that shredded my meniscus in my right knee requiring surgery, and a couple sprained ankles. $100,000 settlement helps but my arthritis and lack of range of motion is a never ending reminder of what could've been death.

    An acquaintance of my brother inlaw's just attempted the same thing with his GXSR against the side of a UPS truck.

    On one hand the UPS truck had pulled out of a drive just at the end of the a blind curve without looking...the driver actually admitted that.

    On the other the rider was going fast enough to punch the front wheel through the side of the truck.

    He's is serious but stable condition, a testament to protective gear.
