ugh...finally getting to sit down and relax.
Was crusin (luckily around 30 miles per hour) and some ******* ******* turned right in front of me. swerved to miss him, hit some gravel..
the bike ended up fliping end over end..over end..over end.
it's trashed. a lot is broken on it, including the front fork.
as for me, some painful road rash on my *** and on my leg and I think my toe is broken.
but I'm glad to be alive. I'm devastated about my bike. I only have liability as well...
I'll post pics tomorrow.

I know way more people who have been in vehicle accidents, but on a bike **** happens some times. You can ask Stephen when he comes back online. I had a lady a few weeks ago not yeild on an on ramp for the highway and just started to turn right into me. She was less than a foot away and I saw it and just kicked the bike down two gears and went WOT. She almost took out the back of my bike and laid me down.
I slowed down next to her and let her know what was up, aka I told her I was going to kill her if she stopped her car.

I've almost been hit a few times on a motorcycle, but happy nothing has happened yet. 
come to where I live and buy this
you could probably get it for 6.5k or less

lol you guys assume wayyy to much.
no it's not rideable. fork is broken, triple tree is broken, one peg is broken, exhuast is broken, spilled 90% of it's coolant, most of the brake fluid too, broke a few lines (brake, coolant, clutch) switches on clutch side broken, one broken handlebar. and thats just the stuff that make it not rideable. most of the plastics are trashed, mirrors broke off, right side frame slider is done, both swing arm sliders are broken, and the taillight might be done.
It's already with my bike mechanic getting fixed. I am getting different colored fairings..kind of..

I'm glad your ok bro, but the fact is people don't watch out for bikes on the road like they should. Sure bikes are harder to see in traffic, but any good driver will always be aware of what's around them. And that should apply doubly for watching out for bikers.. As for me, I give bikes more room and respect than any other vehicle simply because you have no protection against a collision with a vehicle except what your wearing.. I'm just glad your ok with exception to the road rash.. I personally will not ride a bike because of worrying bout other people on the road..

Did you report it or anything?
Is Stephen unbanned now? I hate people who do that ****, I watch out for everything and I rarely cut people off, but it depends. When I'm by bikes I'm extra careful and I pay attention to them more then anything, besides when I race a few. I've almost been hit a few times on a motorcycle, but happy nothing has happened yet.
That's sexay.

I don't think the pics really do justice to the damage. Nice butt shot, btw.
I have to admit I did seriously cut off a motorcycle not too long ago. Was in the magnum and visibility really sucks in that big bitch, I double checked mirrors and turned to look, but apparently he was flying up in the right hand lane. I never saw him and fortunately he was able to back off and not dump it, but he did go around and make many rude gestures.

Ahhhh.....That probably wasn't due to your driving- it very well could have been because you were in a DODGE! LOL

I guess it was a double, being run off the road by a dodge. The ironic part was when he went to go around he nearly clipped the right rear of the magnum....like I would have even noticed in that big *** car.
