i was about to change lanes, looked behind me to clear my right side, looked back in front of me and 20 ft ahead was an SUV. tried to stop and got to about 10-15 MPH... BOOM luckly i was only doing 30 when i saw the guy, and i was wearing full gear. Ill have pics of the bike up later. but my intital estimate is 3k with labor to get it fixed... Bent forks, headlight, fender, controls, clipon, bent handle bars, dented tank, shifter is tweeked, but im fine. my back and neck hurt cause im sore. i sprained my right wrist really bad and scraped up my right knee without even tearing my uniform... how that happened idk. but all in all. just a bloody nose and a bruised lip...

give me a little bit and ill get some photos up

 

That sucks man. That $h*t happens. Glad you're ok. It could have been a LOT worse.

 

oh yeah i know... ive got a buddy of mine that rides with a brain bucket and i can only imagine how bad it would have been.... i cant stop saying that wearing that helmet saved my life today

 

Glad you're ok. Now take care of that girl and get back on her!!!

 

Aww man, that sucks bro, glad to hear you alright though.

 

Gotta find an "Oh, Sh*t" patch now. I need 2 of 'em for friends, so if you find 'em, let me know. Good news is that the ride can be fixed. Good luck, God, or Karma was with you today. Heal well.

not graphic... but im hella sore... i had alot of soft tissue injurys... no bones so im lucky

 

I think that the doctors told me that it is kinetic energy that causes you to have skin damage and soft tissue damage and stuff like that and the outer garments show no damage or very little at all. I was the victim of a hit and run driver while on the second motorcycle I ever owned and my jacket looked completely untouched and I had all kinds of skin abrasions and bruises and broken bones. It was as if I wasn’t even wearing the jacket when I was run over. Weird! I am glad that YOU are still with us and I hope that you heal soon.

 

glad to see you're ok. luckily, what broke is fixable and you can still physically throw a leg over it.

 

wow saw your pics glad to see ya ok could have been worst but i'm glad it wasn't good thing was wearing your gear rest up and you'll be up and riding before you know it peace
