As I said earlier, I don't know much about japbikes, but if I'd judge by the pics of custom ones it has potential to chopped bobbed or whatever.

Mechanically can't say a thing as I don't know it.

Hi guys,

I love IH, and I love bikes too. So much so that i quit my office job around 6 years back to sell bikes for a living, mostly Italians Unfortunately I haven't ridden a bike in just over 4 years due to a nasty leg break under the engine bar of a Moto Guzzi California Classic.. Heavy bitch she was!

Here's some images from the day of the accident, sorry if they're off putting, they're not intended to be. I still love bikes, but for now I don't have the range of motion in my left ankle for the gear lever..plus my brain tells me it's dangerous.

8 surgeries later I'm still determined to get back on, but it's a tough slog. Push bikes keep my 2 wheel urges slightly fulfilled, but no substitute for an oil cooled 1100 v-twin.. You know

Thanks for letting me share guys.

Mike.

Nasty crack, hope it's about OK.

Get a bike with footclutch and handshift. That might solve your problem…

Giles

Ouch.

Finn - I can't recommend a bike restore / rebuild enough. It was some of the best months of blood, sweat and tears that I ever put into a project. If you have a little space, some patience and a willingness to learn - you can certainly tackle it. The 70's twins are all pretty standard fare and easy to work on. Parts are everywhere, and frankly, a good time to hunt down. The months I spent on my rebuild were as fun as riding has been.

That said - know the risk and don't take it lightly. Mike - I hope you're healing as well as can be expected and that you get your ankle back to where you need it to be. Ride or no ride.

Spotted this a bit ago.. bad. ass.
