Well, I laid it down today. **** soccer mom on the phone locks her brakes for no reason on the freeway. I paniced and locked mine too. Hit the pavement and rolled 8 times according to the guy behind me. He stopped and made sure I was alive.
Injuries:
Pride
Broken thumb
Cracked ribs
Helmet
Jacket
Front fairing
Exhaust
Turn signal
Rear peg
Rear brake pedal
Good thing you had all your gear on or you would have been a real mess. And it sounds like mainly cosmetic damage. I'm sure you'll be back on the road in no time. In my experience with wrecked bikes (and I have have more than I wish I did). Usually as long as the frame and forks are straight and the engine still runs fine you shouldnt have to much trouble getting it back to decent copndtion and hopefully it wont be to expensive. How bad is your thumb broken? Has the doctor told you about how long it will take you to heal?
like everyone else said..glad you were wearing your gear!!!
People should stay off their cell phones...i have this problem even riding in the car..people in front of me on the phone, slamming on brakes for no reason or doing 15 under/over the speed limit because they are caught up in conversation :x ticks me off!!!! glad you are ok!!!! Ride ON!!!!
Glad you were able to ride home, and that the damage was mainly cosmetic. People on cell phones are my biggest complaint as well. I can't count the number of people that I swear at under my helmet on a daily basis. Stay up!
