Default wrecked another time

i wrecked once more on my 2 month old 05 rr. i looked to left for 1 sec looked up to see in my entire vision the bed of a pickup truck. i hit the front break hard and flipped over the front.

i broke my collar bone and hurt my elbow. my helmet had a few scraches on the lower vent.

the bike did not fair so well. the right clipon broke right before the clamp part. plastics pretty messed up. right rearset cracked. my brother said when he rode it home that it pulled to ther right. how could the fork bend when it went over and fell on its right side. the tip of the exhaust scrached along with the back tail behind seat. i am thinking this bent the subframe. i figue 2k or more she will be good as new. o and he said it over heated a little so the fan may be messed up. i saw nothing dripping out but he said theres something on the kick stand.

i figure we can do most the work to save some bucks

THe dude got hurt, almost as bad. I say a broken collar bone is pretty bad for flipping over the bike. Sorry to hear about the bad news bro, hope you heal up soon.

That sucks man. Not to be a dick,but maybe this is a needed break from riding for you. I mean 2 wrecks in a few months is not a good start to he season. Good luck with the bike and heal up soon.
