Well crashed the bike this morning on the way to school... took my eyes off of the car in front of me for a second, then next thing I see are brake lights and turn signal... grabbed the break and tried to make the turn with the guy but instead I scrapped down the passenger side of his vehicle and then dumped the bike on the left side which immediately snapped my frame slider and bounced the bike back onto the right side where it proceeded to slide on the frame slider for about 50 feet, with me sliding on/behind the bike...
Would have been nice to swerve around the guy but there was construction and traffic merged down to one lane. I assumed the guy was going straight and was going to fast so I had to try and brake :/
Ended up dislocating my left big toe (hurt like a mutha when the doc popped it back in place) and minor road rash on my knees. Didnt hit my head and gloves and jacket remained untouched.
As for the bike... the right side zx6r mirror snapped off, brake lever got bent, bar end got chewed up, minor scratches on both plastics and air scoops, right side foot peg snapped off and rear brake lever got all bent up.
So overall my pride and wallet took a beating today. Glad I'm not dead. Be safe out there fellas!
Oh and I still want my exhaust Marthy :thumbup:
