Default Went Down After a Sideswipe!

headed down to a big bike show this past weekend ,coming out of a gas station my buddy on a zx-14 swerved in front of me , i couldn't pull out and we both went down. thank god we were only going 20mph, and thank god for gear. my joe rocket gloves and mesh jacket ate it all,but my buddy wasn't so lucky. his 14 tips the scales at 630 with the 300 kit on it and when it fell he broke his leg and ankle in 3 places,got some bad rash on his arm too. so keep my buddy in your prayers and wish me luck on repainting this monster. the damage wasn't to too bad on either bike but the paint jobs gonna be a pain to redo on the cbr:

Dang man I hate to hear that, but good thing you both are ok. I had a buddy go down in front of me today around a nasty turn. I got to him before he was done sliding. His bike took a pretty good beating, but like you said "thank god for gear" he may have broke his wrist, but otherwise he was ok. You never know when it's your turn to take a digger.

Oh noooo. Glad your ok and hope your buddy has a quick recovery. That paint job was so good it deserved a frame. I hope you can get it back to its original masterpiece status.

Glad you guys are ok-ish! Good to hear you were wearing gear! That sucks to hear about the awesome paint though! Maybe now you can change it to an auto-bot! j/k!
Good luck on the repairs and hope everyone recovers soon!
