Well, here I was enjoying my day and heading south to my girlfriends apartment. I stopped in wiliston to pick up some cortech saddle bags for a planned upcoming trip and then decided to hit up rt 17 for a little while until my girlfriend got out of work. I was at the base of the side near the interstate coming around a sharp right hand, I was doing the limit or under, was taking it easy to make sure road was clear and I remembered all the corners (only been there a few times). Just as im coming around I see silver, headlights, subaru (I think) emblem on my side or the road, mayabe 1-4 / 1-2 in my lane. I leaned harder (Thanks MSF ) into the turn to try to miss him, gave it a little gas. I either gave it too much or leaned to much because I went down. Its a bit hazy, I kinda only remember parts. Either way I remember sliding on ground, my bike just barely missed his car and/or hit the back of his becuase next thing I know im skitting uphil and my bike is twirling down the road. I didnt skid TOO far, but far enough to get a little rash on my knee. I was wearing helmet/leather jacket/gloves/boots/jeans. I had a pair of over pants which would have reduced my injuries to almost nothing but like a scrub I was in a hurry to get going and just wore jeans. Anyway when I got to my feet I dragged my bike to the side of the road, inspected damage. (pics to come) I expected to see some guy come running up the road like "OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU OKAY?)....Nope just the sound of him driving off in the distance.
Anyway long story short. Gear trashed, me not, just some rash on my knee and some bruises.
Some bikers (god bless em') stopped, helped me out, ran off to call the police and my girlfriend.
The faygit got away nice and clear (the first guy to help me actually saw the car at the top of the hill I guess but didnt obviously take notice of anyting specific), I get to pick up the bill.
Most likely due to the cost im out for this year, ill be back strong next year~~~
Sorry for the rant style post, still all freaking out etc.
