Hi Richard,

The only thing really hurt was my pride (low speed drop from hitting 
pile of gravel during turn -- thank goodness for helmet, jacket, boots, 
etc.)  About the only bike damage was a destroyed mini-fairing, but 
most early 80's Yamaha Seca 750's were "naked bikes" as mine now is.  
It has been well suited for Leica shooting (to get somewhat on topic) 
as I often have one nested in the tank bag.  Coincidentally I have been 
looking at BMW's (older K1200RS, R1100RT or R1100R -- a K1200GT would 
be my ultimate choice, but a little to new to be affordable for me).  
Most Beemers come with ABS -- which might have helped me avoid the 
accident.  BTW, the IBMWR list has a bunch of neat, helpful people and 
reminds me in many ways of the LUG.  They even have a few elder 
philosophers (but no saloonkeeper!)
