Default It Happened...............

Yup, The right side fairing is pretty fu**ed up. Rashed and cracked pretty good.

I was coming off an off ramp, when a Lincoln Towncar checked up. Well, I checked up, and the back end broke loose, and off I go. Slid about 100ft till I stopped. I must say however, apparently from my buddy behind be, it was a professional crash, haha. Broke the shift lever, rear set and rear brake, right fairing, front fairing, and the mirror. As far as I go, fractured my thumb and have a little rash here and there, helmet is crashed and cracked though. I would have to say its a 50/50 fault. I was going about 10 over on the off ramp, but there was nothing at all for them to check up for. But it is all done and over with now. Just thought I would share. Just be careful.

Damn, Nick! I hate to hear that!

Gald to hear that you are relatively OK though and sounds like the bike can be fixed without too much effort.

That really sucks!

Yeah, for the most part, its all good. Most of this took place sliding down a hill in the grass, so is not as bad as it would have been on the asphalt, but it still was a pretty hard hit

Well, at least you both are for the most part ok. Hey you were thinking about a change right? Well nows your chance to either do something new or keep the movistar look. Just a small upside to it all.
