Default Yay got MY bike out for 1st time, and guess what.........

It went down of course. All the things that had been posted lately, i was trying to be real easy, no wheelies, or anything. Short version, rode with a couple buddies, they turned left, i signaled, guy on my left didnt see anything apparantly, i turned, he kept going straight and took out my back tire. It wasnt a true 90 degree turn so we were all going about 35 mph or so, andi guess thankfully he managed to recover from the hit on me and didnt crash. Damage is basiclly the left side gone, clip on, stator, farings, peg, maybe swingarm. New jacket and gloves did there job, only one time using basiclly all my gear needs to be replaced. As far as I go, ver minimal damage, little rash and bruise on left knee, otherwise no worse the wear. No good pics yet sorry, was too shaken at the time to snap many, will get more tomorrow.

Glad you're ok. I don't like riding with others for this very reason.

Awww man TK..that sucks. At least your ok and you will ride another day. She looks like a wounded soldier on a battlefield though. No matter how many times you see it....I cringe at pics of bikes laid over
