YEP!
She's no longer showroom condition...I was leaving work lastTuesday evening, took a turn too fast down by my work(@25-30mph), next thing I knew I was in a lowside... I was actually on the bike sliding on the left side, hit the curb, and slingshotted me off to about 25 feet away... I couldn't stand after I hit the pavement...Luckily a coworker came around the corner about half a minute after I crashed. He lifted the bike and set it upright...I finally got back on the bike after 15 mins. and rode her back home.
I fractured my L-1 vertibrae and scraped up my knee. I'm taking two weeks of vacation to heal up. I got a couple scratches on the Shoei, but still very usable.
The bikes rear frame is tweeked to the right a bit.
This ALL WAS MY OWN FAULT!
I knew to never to take a corner on cold tires and was probably going too fast for the conditions.
Let this be my mistake for all of you to learn.

damn dude...that sucks. at least ure not banged up too bad. wont take much to get her lookin good as new...

 

WOW, a fractured vertibrae. That is no good man. The bike can always get fixed, glad you seem to be alright! Get well.

 

Sorry bout the luck. Hopefully it wasn't too painful. Get her fixed and get back up. Thanks for the heads up. I was out today (35*) and this kind of reminder is important.

 

same thing happend to me the other day!

looking way down turn and all of a sudden, SLIP&SLIDE! right?

 

A piece of me died inside...

Sorry to hear Ron...

Plastics can be repaired, paint can be repainted, glad to hear you arent TOO messed up!

 

+1 on hoping your okay!!!!! You'll get that bike fixed up in no time.

 

I'm sure that all of us here in the F2 forum feel the same way.......But atleast you somewhat fine...I feel so bad for you.

 

Damn Ron,

Glad to hear you're safe and everything. That fractured bone must hurt, hope you heal fast.

 

Ron,

Sorry to hear about your accident. Concentrate on mending your body. Remember to listen to the Docs and not push it. The back is a sensative area.
