Yesterday at about 4:30 / 5 o'clock ish I was coming through NH towards Winchendon to check Murdock farms to see if they were open for the season. I decided to take the back road that comes out behind it. There is one very sharp left curve in the road about half way through it. This year the frost heaves were horrible and there was ....sand...I had to take the corner wide because of the oncoming traffic that tends to pull to wide on their turns and this forced me into a situation I couldn't pull out off. The bike lost control and upon impact with the side of the road I was thrown down the road about 15 ft or more before coming to a scraping stop. I was wearing my Scorpion Exo helmet, Icon Pursuit gloves, Icon pursuit jacket, jeans, boots. the gloves are destroyed, the jacket held up for the most part but when I landed my arms were above my head, thus pulling the jacket up to expose my core. I didn't walk away from this one >.<...Sprained ankle, road-burn knee and side torso just above hip. My baby...doesn't look so hot. The frame is twisted in the back end, whole left side is cracked, shifter destroyed and because of the ass end being knocked over the exhaust pipe is probably warped at the head.
I got lucky, but my bike didn't. Anyone who is driving this early in the season, please be careful of the roads and try to avoid any roads that aren't used as regularly. I would love to post pics, but I can't find the plug to my camera. Next step find someone who has a truck to get my back out of the garage that has it held so they stop charging me and see about talking to the insurance company and maybe putting in for a claim. I wouldn't feel safe riding a bike that has had frame damage. I won't know the extent till I can take her apart.
