Yep, I recently had an unplanned airborne experience on my Vulcan 1500 sidecar outfit. Only moto accident I've had. Stuff happens. Little damage due to iceplant landing for the bike and driver. Only broke a mirror, bent shield, bent engine guard, scruffed some paint, and had to realign the car. I love the wind in my face, the smell of the environment, and all the world's woes are temporarily put on hold since I can (should) only think about safe passage. It's like practicing a musical instrument and you forget everything else, until you turn the key off... Soldiers say you're never more alive than when you're near death. On a smaller scale, it's kinda like that I think when I'm riding a moto, as my recent experience reaffirmed to me. I was back on the road next day with the little GZ250 (i needed to get back on the horse), and now again 3 weeks later on the mostly repaired sidecar outfit.
