just picked up my 2003 600rr today, 3700 miles, it had been layed down on the right side, slipped in oil around 20mph, came w/ a new right side fairing but i dont have it on yet since im still getting use to the bike
this is my first sport bike, but i bought a dualsport (xl600r honda) w/ the intention of getting use to bikes before gettin a bike, only to realize today that it really didnt help cuz the two bikes were nothing alike, n e ways, i did take the msf and have had my license for a while now, so its nice to finally get on the road

RE: new rider from tx
guess its time to update my thread, the bikes already totalled, it was actually totalled on june 11th only 5 or so days after i bought it
kid that had just turned 18 and gotten his license w/ out drivers ed or n e thing, decided he had time to make a left turn in front of me, he was wrong, and its not like he just didnt see me because the black suv on my left had to swerve to avoid getting hit as well, i wasnt so lucky, i wasnt in the best ridin position because the suv was hiding me, but one of the things we learned in msf was to come out of intersections next to a car, for protection, well, my protection swerved and by the time i saw the car it was sideways in front of me, it was a lil bit past the intersection when it happened, far enough for me to be going about 35 mph w/ out accel hard at all, by the time i saw the car it was too late, i only left a 3 ft skid mark, the suv had kinda hindered my vision i guess, or maybe i just didnt pay enough attention, im not gonna pretend im an experienced rider or n e thing, i was still takin it easy, i hit the front right wheel of his lil 4 door accord, my knee his the car and that was all, then i landed on the ground on the other side of it which bruised my back up some, not to bad though, the witness said i flipped head over heels so i wish it somehow couldve been caught on tape, had my helmet on, it was cracked and scraped up pretty bad, got a minor concussion that was all
i tore everything there was to tear in my right knee, acl, lcl, meniscus, all the stuff everyoen knows about, and then the dr said my knee had to have fully dislocated and in the process ripped everything else around it
i went into surgery the 27th of june and im still just makin my slow recovery, im not suppose to put weight on it for about 4 more weeks, then he said i could be walkin about 2 or 3 weeks after i start puttin weight on it
