My first accident

[DaveZX6r]

Hey, dood, whatever you did or didn't do, it "worked out" so you're still with us. Nice bike, and THAT's a shame, but lots of stuff could have happened that didn't so don't doubt yourself too much. From the sound of things, you did what ya could. You're already plotting your worries about the bike, a VERY good thing. Get better quick, ya hear?

I couldn't have said it better. Just hang inthere bud, You'll be healed up and riding again soon enough. Very glad to hear your still with us and not worse off.

Dankdirtybird!!! lol

So i gotta wait for either the police report or try and find some information about the other driver who was at fault. My insurance will cover it and i wont pay for the deductible or have my premium go up. Should be a nice down payment towards a new bike if i decide to go that route. The gear i gotta file a claim with the other insurance company.

heres a pic of the knee after stitches.

I cant see the wound through the forest. I've seen Grizzlies with less hair.

Hope everything works out!

Sorry to hear about your accident......I have been there before,but my stay at the hospital was a six day event....good luck with the recovery.

You knee looks like a moldy pair of those wax candy lips.

[bluej511]

haha thanks for the compliments lol. Its actually a bit better today i was able to sleep so im getting there. I know what Rossi feels like now being injured and not being able to ride.

You'll have a nice battle scar when that one heals.

Hey, see if he'll refund the couple hundred bucks they charged me after towing my car out of my own spot "accidentally."

Filed a stolen vehicle report and the police told me that my car was impounded for being parked in a private spot. Thing is it was MY spot!

Edit: sorry, this is waaaay off topic. Just saw Pat's and my rage meter went through the roof. Good luck with healing and ins!

thanks Landric, we do most of there lighting work since i work at MHQ. We've installed a few of his lights (a few meaning 100s of lights haha). Yea im lucky the STI was in front of me, lucky that he didnt spin out and directly hit me or id probably be on the other side of 290.

Makes me rethink about life and motorcycling. Might get another one but im borderline so we'll see how much i get from insurance.

i can do insurance repairs if they decide not to total it.. just putting that out there....

[bluej511]

haha idk i hope not i love the way it handled, but i talked to him for a few he said the frame might have some damage. I was conscious the whole time and watched it tumble down the highway, might have flipped too but not sure. Its either a 600rr r6 or zx6r if i do decide whats next.

[bluej511]

Here is how the jacket held up.
Elbow

Forearm

Shoulder with hard gp outer.

Jacket held up a lot better then i thought

[DaveZX6r]

Holy shit that's it? It looks like you just rubbed up against a wall while walking!

[KingCast 650R]

Glad you were able to type that to us. Heal quick!

That says it all.

That and gear, peace bro.

[bluej511]

haha yea i guess i was pretty lucky. Im pretty sure i twas going 65-70 then just flipped. It was pretty scary seeing that truck just come to a stop in the left lane.

[bluej511]

anyone have a chance to go take a look at it, i know theres a few people around Worcester that get bored lol

[chowda633]

Dam bro! Glad you made it out alive!

[TC66]

glad to hear ya made it without anything serious.. speedy recovery..

[bluej511]

Well here it is, as bad as i thought. Idk if anyone would even bother fixing that. Front end is trash, both wheels, tank, all the fairings. Seems like its just all trash lol
