Went down on the motorcycle today..
 

ugh...finally getting to sit down and relax.

Was crusin (luckily around 30 mph) and some fucking jackoff 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 ass 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.

Dang sorry to hear. Glad your still around to share the story tho.

dam bro, sorry to hear that man, but at least you made it out alright!

Good thing you are alive.


My buddy had a close call on his r6 at an intersection last summer. I'll just say his elbow took off some bitches side mirror.

I've already lost a friend on a bike, I'm glad you're okay.

shit man...that seriously sucks. glad you didnt get hurt too bad. sorry about the bike...that really really sucks.

I'm sorry to hear that john, good thing you're alright. Sucks about the bike but that can be replaced.

My friend (girl) just got a bike so reading that really makes me worry about her, this stuff can happen to anyone and you never see it coming.

damn man that really sucks im glad your ok.

After working in trauma, I can tell you first hand how f***ing lucky you are!!! Sorry about the bike but that can be replaced, eventually if not immediately. Glad you're ok. Take care of the road rash and the toe.

Damn dude, really sad to hear man. Good thing you were able to walk away from it.

glad your alright bud!

Sorry to hear about that. I'm glad you are gonna be okay. Its a shame to see the bike go though. Best wishes for you.

i hope the guy that did that to you got his in the end.

That sucks is this the bike you just got the honda?

No gear on huh?

Damn, sorry Fishy. Glad your ok. That was a nice bike.

bikes can be replaced.

Is the jack-off going to do anything??? I'd take him to court over that shit. He needs his f***ing license taken away. Some people should never get past a driver's permit...

yeah were you wearing any gear jon?

That sucks man but it is good you are ok!

man that really sucks...as long as the frame is fine its some fairings and a headlight. lol.


glad to hear that your ok...

Yea, that really really blows man, bad luck. But good thing your ok, seen too many people die on stuff like that. Btw not sure if you were already considering this or if you were wearin it atm, but those motorcycle leather jackets are crazy, invest in one. :)

Thanks guys it means a lot. the guy who cut me off drove away..didn't get plates or anything.

and I did have gear on. Helmet, leather jacket, gloves, alpinestars boots. my jeans just go torn up.

That sucks for sure Bro but at least you walked away from it.

If you can walk/limp/crawl away from a bike accident you win. Sorry about the bike

A lot of people do not pay attention to people on bikes, and it pisses me off. Then again, a lot of people don't pay attention when they drive, period. I had a friend last year who got hit while on his bike, and he only had it for two weeks. Some lady made an illegal left turn as he had a left arrow, hit him, and he died immediately. My dad also got into a pretty bad motorcycle accident when he was younger, and I have a friend who was miraculously unharmed from a severe bike accident where the whole right side of his bike was torn off. I know more people who have gotten into accidents on bikes than I do people who have been in accidents in cars or trucks.


I'm glad you're okay, man. You got very, very lucky.

I know way more people who have been in vehicle accidents, but on a bike shit 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 am super cautious around bikes since my Dad rides and I have been on a bike a few times I realize how vulnerable you are. It makes me so mad that so many people wreck there bike and get hurt, killed, because of other drivers who don't pay attention and give bikes the space they need.

here are the pics
