Default Crashed and burned on my 08 1000RR

Last night I was getting on a benderfreeway ramp and there was an abstruction in the road mid-corner that I could not avoid, rear tire skipped out and me and the bike went for a long slide on the pavement. The rear rim was bent and almost ripped off the swing arm, my aftermarket exhaust is smashed and the mid pipe is crimped, the side faring is broke and scuffed, the wind deflector and front faring is broke, the tank cover and rear seat faring is trashed, swingarm is cracked on the non impact side, engine casing is worn down to nothing, right handle bar broke off and pegs are broke. Its a very sad day for me.

Sorry to hear that. Is the engine "casing" the cover or the block itself? Any frame damage?

On the upside, I'm pretty sure if your swingarm is toast and your engine block is damaged, that's gotta be close to totaled.

Sorry to hear that you dumped your new bike but as long as you're safe and with minor injuries, that's all that matters. Good luck with everything and stay safe.
