    Anyway, the healing will now begin! The spare radiator is now at the shop to have the tab welded back on, I should have it back on Monday. The new Puig windscreen is at the Vegas UPS terminal right now, I'll have it on Monday. I have a new gallon of my "what the hell do you use that stuff for at $32.50 each" coolant to put in my repaired radiator. I'll get pictures of the J-B Weld repair then too.

    I should be back on the road on Tuesday!
    So what additional damage was caused by the shipper that wasn't there after the accident?

    Was it just the screen?

    The windscreen, the mid fairing (the one I scratched up) and the headlight. $785 in parts and I'm not holding my breath while waiting for the claim to be paid.

    FWIW I got back from a few days in Switzerland via France, Luxembourg & Belgium yesterday and had no bother at all despite running very loud cans marked "race only". I was a bit converned at the Swiss border but kept revs low and the only thing the man was interested in was 30 euros for the damn vignette.

    P.S. Maybe it was because I was riding with 3 Beemers and therefore was under the radar.

    P.P.S.Nice pics of mountains to follow

    Are you sure those Swiss border guards weren't Mexican federales?

    Well he did have a dodgy looking moustache but he looked more like a bus conductor with his little leather satchel...a different kind of bandit......
