Valdez, Have you noticed any unusual vibration since the tumble? That might be a concern.

Thanks for the suggestions and concerns - I've looked it over well. There are no dings on the frame or bottom of the engine. I rode it 90MPH without incident. I'm pretty much amazed that nothing more can be found. I did more damage cleaning it one day than this accident caused ??? The truck that hit me had more damage than the bike. This is a baffle'r :-/ but I'm not complaining.... We're riding!

I'll go halvies on a KLR650 with ya. We can keep it in my garage to keep it out of the weather.......

didn't a deer hit you after that? You've about got a new bike in parts! LOL. Your angels are working overtime.

Yeah, I've managed to replace a few parts over the past year or so. Fortunately, none of the damage affected the frame or forks. The owner of American Ironhorse said this is the most solid bike he's seen. He said if this had been a Harley, they would have totaled it and started over. The Nomad is build like a tank.

I was thinking my garage would be OK. :) :)
