Mad like crazy not angry
On my way to school, my alarm hadn't been set. I wake up late, get dressed and head out. Not quite awake yet and totally unfocused, I realise that I am headed straight for a median's curbing. I panic, grab a handfull of front brake, feel the front wash out(lots of loose sand in the road), let off of the front brake, and go down hard.
I was going about 30-40 mph. Got some nice rash on my arm, stomach, and both knees. I had on my Jo eRocket Phoenix 4.0 mesh jacket on and that saved most of my skin but it slid up on my stomach (I was sliding feet first) and that is how I got rashed on my stomach. I also jammed my toe in my boot and it is nice and purple.
My FS6 slider totally bent around and really didn't do anything (well it kept the frame off the ground) Buit I think it hit the curb not the asphalt (concrete rash on it). My fairing is trash, I dented my tank and broke one of the grab handles. So to be new again I will have to replace every piece of plastic minus the left side pod. I am ok and the bike really didn't come out too bad.
In summary if you are not totally awake......take the car, it's alot safer. And when you are in class (yes, I still went, we had a test) with torn up clothes and a smashed bike, it sucks.
So now I am off to find a streetfighter headlight assembly to replace the stocker........
