Just a quick reminder that its still early in the season and everyone's reaction timing and skill is on the lower scale of our riding capabilities. Road conditions are still poor with sand and frost heaves so be safe and take it easy early this season. I'm only preaching this because I speak from early season crash experience in 1999.

Well,
They are out there...I had a guy just simply pull right the frig out in front of me yesterday...didn't even look to his right!

I saw him, and made an assumption he was gonna keep going..I was right!.....

I already positoned the bike to the left, and had no probs avoiding him. I did catch him at a stop sign (at least he stopped there), and let him know that I wasn't too pleased...All I got was what I get outta all the other idiots who claim they didn't see you was "Sorry"... I told him he better not talk on the cell phone while driving anymore, because he isn't to talented just to be driving a car....

On another note...Hope you get better dude!

[Matt K]

argh, that sucks man, heal up quick so we can ride again...

[Hinesy]

Feel better dude.

[benVFR]

Get well soon Kham..

I have to agree with the comment about everyone needing to be careful, I definitely felt some rustiness riding around this weekend, yet I was doing some stupid things with the throttle cause it's so nice to finally have some nice weather.

just came back from looking at the bike. im surprise it wasnt all bang up like i imagine. right side damage only; upper and side fairing, pipe, brake lever and handle bar. looks like that's pretty much it.

Kham,

Well, Kham, heal up man, who else am I gonna cruise Lowell and the backroads of Tyngsboro with?

I'll stand in until he gets better man.

Did the car stop?? Sometimes there is oil or transmission fluid in the middle of the lane, very slippery. Hopefully insurance will cover costs.

I think a lot of riders panic and grab too much front/rear brake. Speaking from experience (or inexperience), I almost crashed my previous bike, CBR1000, slowing for stopped traffic, too much rear brake
I still counting my blessings.

Get well soon

Your looking at about six weeks for the breaks to heal. Have broken both collarbones, not fun. So take your pain and relax a bit. Get healed up and out riding.

[GadgettR1]

bummer.. just read the thread.. hope you're doing better Kham

[fivetoez]

Kham, sorry about your incident....heal-up soon!........"5"...........

[Kham]

my broken collarbone looks similar to this image. the whole length is shorten litle bit due to overlap. doctor said no operation required. damn!

[bemused]

how's it feeling these days? are you getting some mobility back?

any idea when you'll be able to ride again???

shame about the post-op meds you've been denied...

[Kham]

i still feel a lot of movements but i think i will be independent of this annoying sling in few days and hopefully be riding by mid June. then ill tell the rest of the story, kind of funny - got taken out by 80 yr little old lady..
