Talk about getting "dumped"?

A woman...OK, a bike NO WAY.

Yep, first time in over 25 years without an accident. Going too fast down a curved hill. I had just had the bike "freshened up" at the local shop and was riding it home. Ahhh. It was Friday night, weather was perfect, and the bike was running real sweet. Now back to the hill... I touched the rear brake and the whole deal went sideways. I got it back straight and then it went sideways to the other side after some crazy wobbling that pulled the handlebars out of my hands. Next thing I knew, I was sliding on my back toward the curb. My shoulder caught the curb and it flipped me into someones front yard. The bike hit the curb, ripping off the shock. It mashed the swing arm so bad that the rear wheel wouldn't turn. The handlebars looked like a fine art sculpture. I picked the bike up and tried to get it into neutral so I could ride it the rest of the way home, but it didn't matter because where the throttle should have been was just bare tubing. Gone... That was last Friday night. I went to emergency on Saturday afternoon because stuff was moving around in my shoulder. The xray showed a broken clavicle. They gave me a script for pain, but when I got to the pharmacy, they were closed. UGHHH. Now it's Sunday and I'm trying to evaluate the damage and keep my arm stable. Anyone know where I can pick up a used swingarm for a 1984 FXRP?
