As much as I hate to say this...

I left the apartment.
got onto Buckingham and came to a T intersection.
My light turned green and I continued to make my right turn.
Somebody was in a big hurry in the left lane of Audelia and ran their red-light.
To avoid them I had to sharpen my turn and slow down... and the tires were cold.
I laid it down at about 20-MPH
I'm fine.
Only a few cherry's on my knee & hip and one bruise on my right elbow.
the helmet took a little beating, my Jacket is torn up, and my boots & jeans are trash... but that's why I wear my gear

damage so far looks like the list of damaged parts I can see right now is mostly cosmetic
Rt. Mirror (probably find it on E-bay for cheap.)
Rt. Bar end (and possibly clip-on, need to look.but that's cheap stuff.)
rt side upper and lower fairing. (the expensive parts. what I found on E-bay was already a little scratched.)
Right side Rear-set (no biggie... I have my vortex.)
That's really it... no other damage.

What makes this so ironic. is I have ordered frame sliders.
They were going to be installed this weekend. So if I did lay it down, It'd be a $20 piece of plastic. not all of this.

Good thing also was that I didn't have my new rear-sets installed (those puppies are $450)

Nobody stopped and even checked on me. so I couldn't get any witnesses.
I left pretty scratch marks on the concrete though!

Damn it man. Sorry to hear about that. I'm glad you are ok though. Metal & plastic can be fixed. Glad to hear you had your gear on. It pisses me off when something like that happens and nobody stops or offers to help. You know someone else had to have seen what happened, but couldn't be bothered. Get that bike back together soon.

 

THAT SUCKS!! At least your were ok and the damage doesnt seem that extensive

 

if you can post some pics of your bike, i ask cuz im curious what kind of damage happens at a low speed wreck. glad your ok though

 

Pics will be up later tonight.
I'm working till 7:00


UGH... the pain is just now setting in on my rt. shoulder and hip.

 

Glad you're o.k. Really sux that you gotta take a fall due to an idiot that didn't even stop[:@] I'm thinkin we need to invest in some bike hardware like Chuck Norris had in 'Delta Force' -- ya know, ROCKETS!!!

I wish you and the bike a speedy recovery -- let me know if ya need anything. I have a source for new plastics up in WV named Kathy -- her company used to be reasonable (compared to stealerships) but I haven't talked to her in a while.

 

Thanks all
I'm easily finding replacement parts for the cheap stuff.
I'm just trying to not pay $680 for the mid and lower fairing.
Everything else is easy-peasy
The fairings is what's causing the issue...
Anyone wanna hand over the mid and lower fairing to a 1000RR?!?

I found one on E-bay for $900 which is ALL plastics! Even tank, tail, fender... turn signals... everything!
So if someone is wanting to repair a scratch or something that they have... I may go into a deal with them (as long as they don't steal my right side fairings )

anyone?

please?

*stands aimlessley as crickets chirp in the background.*

 

I found Ebay has a few "body kits" floating around for different bikes..usually it is a racer who takes all the stuff off since it is going to be a RACE BIKE only and the fairing sale is the money needed to get all the race bodywork and such..those are GREAT DEALS if you can find them

 

Damn, that sucks bro. We are glad that you are ok and that is most important to us. Bikes can be replaced but lives cannot. Get that bike back to 100% [8D]
