So, I flew off my bike today EDIT: PICS Page 1
This morning sucked!!!!!!
PICS BELOW
I highsided making a left at an intersection. I leaned in a little too much in uneven road and I tried to bring the bike back up too fast and boom! [sm=headbang.gif]
Here's what it kind of looked like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzsScCnW9AA
Damage done to right frame slider, right mirror shattered, front fairing cracked, right fairing, and I have yet to get a good check on it. There may be some more damage. I was wearing full gear. Had the suit on, boots, gloves, helmet, and my backpack. I was coming home from school. My backpack sure did save my suit from being rashed though. My backpack took a beating.
No major injuries. I only have a big contusion on my right elbow. This sucks...it's going to cost me so much money that I don't have to fix it. I guess I'll make something work. Maybe I should just get those fairings from Hong Kong...haha.
ehh....watch the road people and ride safe. Gear up!!
Pics up later if I can get a chance to take it.

Yeah, she's still rideable. After I flew off my bike and rolled around, I jumped right back up and ran to her. I picked her up and rolled her to safety. I looked at the damages and I cried on the inside. Then I started her back up and rode home slowly. My pride and confidence is taking a beating.

at least you can still ride it. if you need new plastics this place is about 500 bucks for everything. they have all the factory colors/schemes... everyting. you can sell what ever peices you dont need by themselves and prob fix yur bike for free.
