Talked to vlad today, apparently he dumped the 636 last night at a good clip, he’s ok, just pretty banged up/rashed up he thinks he might have cracked the collar bone again, so keep his speedy recovery in your thoughts, hope to have you out on two again soon meng!

Get well soon Vlad, but I’m gonna disagree with this above statement. Your luck on a bike seems pretty awful, so I say stay stick to 4 wheels.

I wouldnt get another bike since you havent had the best of luck from what these guys are saying. If they have their facts mixed up and this was a stupid mistake then get right back on but regardless hope youl heal quickly and nothing like this happens again.

the bike is in a lot of pieces right now, it took out 2 guard-rail support posts and got wedged under it.  
at this point it’s salvage only, some parts here and there.

Oleg, I don’t think you should post stuff like that, till we are sure that Vlad wont get bunch of tickets or license suspension.
