Just got out of the hospital after being taken out by a
idiot cager. I was doing 60+ mph and in the middle of a hard acceleration when they came over on me. There was a car next to me so I had to eat it. Got a broken clavicle, punctured lung and 4 cracked ribs.(was there 2 nights) Doc says I will be down 2 months. Thank god I put frame sliders on last week. Rear set and shifter broke off and mirror's gone. Some sratches but not too bad.
Need to buy a cheap rearset w/ shifter if anyone has a cheap one available...

Glad to hear that you are okay, and that the bike isn't totaled.
I don't know how it is for you down in NC, but up here in the northeast, it is very hard coming out of a non-riding season then riding again because people aren't used to seeing two wheeled vehicles with one light (day or night) and that just makes riding so much more dangerous.
As my wife and family said after I went down recently, "all of the inanimate objects are replaceable, but you are not!"
Glad your alive!
Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Stupid *** motherf**ing cagers, too damn ignorant to check blind spots, bet that biatch was on the fone texting or somethin. Hey what am I ranting for, you're the one that got ran over. What a trooper...this guy's layin up in the hospital posting, looking for parts already, thats f*ing awesome. I duuno if it helps (yet) but I got one of them 130db air horns from HarborFreight, so when I encounter this situation (cause I wll, we all will) I plan on making someone else shat all over themselves too. lol Anyways Harbi get well soon, good luck on the parts search, and we'll see ya on the streets in no time.
