Bounced off a couple barriers. Broken clavacle (left) and broken fibia (right). Not sure what the bike looks like yet, I'll post pics when I get em.

RE: I think I totaled my bike.
Thanks all. The clavacle isn't so bad, I've broken it two other times. What sucks is the leg. I cannot ride like that, and I can't drive either.
Just got back from getting my bike out of the tow lot ($169). I'll get some pics up as soon as I can.
So by looking at the bike, and from what I remember... I was taking a left turn from 794 (Hoan Bridge) onto 94 West. I took the turn too sharp, and although made a valient effort to correct, caught the barrier wall. I did wobble it for a bit, and then the bike went vertical up the barrier. I landed on the back of my head by looking at the helmet (this is when I realized I have a bump on the back of my noggen), the bike skided on it's tail section STANDING UP, and then flipped over. My front fairing is demolished, mirrors are busted off, one is still salvagable, cracked the crank(?) cover on the left, fuel tank is smashed on top and sides (paint is still pretty), rear tail seperated a bit, starter switch is busted (will need new control box). But get this, the right side, including my Yoshi... not a single scratch.
I would have been dead without the helmet, and my face would have been ground off as I slide on it for a bit.
We (my brother) pushed the bike from the lot to a place we go alot. From there my buddy is going to help him get it here. The steering is lacking any kind of turning radius as of now, I'll have to take a close look when I can to see what's up. Good news is, it should be fairly easy to repair. I'm hopeing forks aren't bent, but even if so, not all that bad. A new tank, some plastics, a cover and I'm good, I think.
Again, as soon as I get some batteries, I'll post pics of everything.
