Well on my way to work last Tuesday, I wrecked the bike. I was going down I-25 in Denver, looked away for a second looked back and traffic was stopped. I got on the brakes and tried to go to the right of the pickup in front of me. I didn't make it and ended up hitting his bumper at around 20mph I believe. I went over the front and landed on my right shoulder, and that's the only thing that's messed up since I was wearing all my gear. The docs in the ER said that I didn't break or seperate anything in my shoulder. They said I bruised the bone. ?It hurts pretty bad and I can't really use my right arm, but I just keep reminding myself that it could have been worse. Here's a pic of the bike, I'll try to get a few more tonight.



Anybody know where I can get plastics for a 91 CBR1000F?

 

damn, like you said.......could have been worse and you walked away! a second is all it takes. hearing all these recent "wrecked my bike" posts reminds me i need to be on the hunt for some overpants!!!!!!!!! good luck getting it back together and get back out!

 

That sucks man, traffic on I25 is horrible. http://stores.ebay.com/hangertwelvethat guy has a bunch of 1000f parts for sale, hope that helps.
Nice to see another denverite(?) on here, you on cosportbikeclub too?

 

Yep, same screen name on cosportbikeclub. Thanks for the link.

 

Glad you're okay, bro. I've had that look away for a second, and look back thing get my heart rate up, but it hasn't turned into an accident for me. Good news on your bones remaining in tact! Hope you're up an running soon.

 

ouch, glad its not worse, i almost did the same thing in my truck a few days ago, looked down to change a song on my ipod, then look up and traffic is stopped but im still going, got over to the right of the truck in front of me though, thank god

 

shoulder wrecks suck its been over a year since my big wreck i can still feel it in my right shoulder, i wonder if it will ever go away

 

I read somewhere that running into the back of someones car is about 15% of all motorcycle accidents.

I see guys on sportbikes about 10 feet off the bumpers of cars all the time. Glad to hear you didn't get hurt real bad, but if there is a lesson to be learned here is that a couple of seconds may not always be enough time to stop in time.

Thanks for the post, I'm gonna make sure I keep a safer distance than I have been. Heal up quick.

 

Glad you are okay....

 

Close call....just a reminder of how quick conditions can change in front of you. Could've been a LOT worse! Good to hear you're not broken.
