Quote:
Two years ago I was rear ended at low speed on my 07 America as I was on the front brake coming to a stop. The bike flipped sideways, trapping my foot as I was being thrown off to the front right, and my leg was twisted, snapping both lower bones. I think the bars wouuld have saved my leg in this situation and I now ride a Speedy with the square bars attached (as well as a titanium reinforced right leg).
I suffered the same consequence back in the day, on my '59 Tiger. I snapped in half, both the Tibia and Fibula (in my right leg I might add) just like that! Titanium body parts were unheard of back then but I'm not too worse for wear.
In my case crash bars mighta saved several things on the bike, but not helped me and my leg at all.
Live to love, love to live.
