Fukin people need to look in their rear view mirrors before changing lanes. i had no where to go except up the curb. front tire caught the edge of the curb and slid out. the bike landed in the grass and slid. it tore my left footpeg off, bent the shifter, grinded the swingarm and the bar end on the curb, broke the mirror scratched up the fairing, and im not sure if it bent the front fairing stay bracket or not, because it dont line up right. maybe i will get some new wheels for it out of insurance

pics tomorrow

 

damn that sucks! Atleast he's having to pay for it not you!

 

Hate to hear that! I feel your pain!

 

Unlikely....unfortunately.

Sucks dude, sad to think but sometimes it's better to hit the car. Glad to hear you didn't suffer too badly, the bike's going to be ok.

 

dome dumb bitch almost ran me over yesterday.

talking on the phone and eating a sandwich.

i gave her an earful at the next light.

 

Stupid people....

 

nope.... the lady didnt even see me. she kept goin. the guy behind me stopped to help me, but didnt get her license. im outta pocket on this one

 

ya a stupid lady changed lanes on my on the freeway a while back. i was in the inside lane by the the wall with no shoulder. she was so close to me i started beating on her window. she jerked the wheel and went about three lanes over the other way. im not sexist, but EVERY time ive had a close call, its been a woman........

 

this is why i dont have a bike. glad you are ok

 

ya im fine. i was slowing down for a red light when she changed lanes. i was going maybe 15mph. no scrapes, bumps bruises, nothing. my helmet didnt even hit the ground. you just gotta pretend you are invisible when you ride

the damage to the bike isnt very bad. i picked it up and rode it home. if the footpeg was still there, i would still ride the bike until it goes to the shop next week
