The big British beast held up pretty well at first glance, untill you start looking at all the little fractional bends of the handle bars, grind marks on the silencers, bent up mounting hardware inside the saddlebags, bent headlight housing, etc. Because those things really take an in-person inspection to detect, the pictures just don't do it justice; kinda like my knee LOOKS fine, but there's a cracked fibia inside it that's plain murder when I navigate the stairs at work. Just saw that x-ray today. Also got the results of the MRI that says my right rotator cuff is fifty percent torn through.
But don't tell Robin. She'll insist I get that fixed before I go to the range again (or ride the R3)...and there's a sweet Kimber Crimson Carry Pro under the tree for her this Christmas. I want to take her to the range the first weekend after Christmas to start breaking it in and get those laser grips aligned.
Tim - glad to hear that you are recovering. Seems like I read on your blog that shoulder surgery is imminent. After reading thru this thread I'm curious... were you carrying the Kimber? If so, how? Did it survive? Did it raise any questions for those who responded?
