If I was coming this year I'd probably be pulling up to a Nashville hotel about now.
Have fun y'all.

The damage is actually not bad for going down @ 70 mph. Semi-truck pushed me into the guard rail, I went into the gravel, and layed it down. Ignition cover that I just polished is destroyed, clutch handle is broke-off (fun starting the bike in first to take-off), the Maier fairing has road rash, and sounds like something is not right behind the ignition cover. My hip hurts. Had gear on. Going to bed. Will assess the bike further tomorrow. My sincerest apologies to GLowe for the inconvenience of room & board.

No apology is necessary. I'm glad that it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Ditto on what Greg posted, if I've got the part(s) they're yours.
