Yeah, I wish i would have separated. Panic grab = fail, perfect world situations and experience IMHO is the only thing that could have prevented it. Next bike will have ABS so I can feel comfortable on a bike again. The bike actually landed on the frame when it came down, so that took the brunt...

Crap guys, I need some HELP!!! Alright, MY insurance company just go through rummaging over the bike and are going to total the FZ out. I'm supposed to meet the adjuster tomorrow with the title to move the process along. However I was reading I should have filed with her insurance, but I'm...

Thanks for all the advice in this thread! It's sharing experience like this, that's helps keep experience and raise awareness. Go to a ricer forum and look at how aggressive they talk to each other. Thanks for being a good person!

Sorry to hear, I feel for you! I wouldn't try to run that tank even if you can't replace it for a while. Don't you have insurance that can replace the broken equipment? If not, I recommend you pay a little extra for the deductible. If I can get my bike back from the insurance company, I might...

LOL, by video do you mean CBT or Powerpoint? HA!

Well, if I had controlled my slide perfectly and skidded straight to a stop in a perfect world, then perhaps some of this could have been avoided. If I had fancy ABS then all of this could have been avoided IMHO, :D. But the reaction time was two swift for an average rider, there's no idea what...

Yeah, it took a wreck to make me realize it. There are all types of "cover" all style pants that have pads and kevlar you can wear over anything. I'm going to go this route since, I have a uniform and it will be more convenient, not to mention that it's more than just 1 layer if I'm wearing...

Whew, that is a hell of a wreck man! It sounds like a worse case scenario, and unfortunately it's what we all should be prepared for. A lot of people avoid motorcycles for this very reason, but I've also seen the same cagers driving without seat-belts, cutting off, tailgating, driving without...

I'll be talking to legal on Monday for action that I need to take, armed with police report and images. As for your wreck, month in the hospital and multiple surgeries, you're scaring me a bit. :( Glad to hear that there's more people that people imagine that are able to "walk away" from...

Thanks for the reference! No, he lowsided quickly and seperated from his bike. The injuries he sustained were very minor. Scratched knees with minor bruising, nice little concussion tho :D ! His Jeans faired pretty well too, not perfect but better than mine. He's doing good with a little...

No, ignorantly I figured jeans were enough because everyone else I see wears them. The held up decently, but the initial impact is what tore them appart and exposed the skin. I will be getting some REAL riding pants this next time arround.

There is rash above, and there was a bout a 3"x1" chunk of flesh missing below. Wife said she could see the tendons to the knee. Rash on the side of the knee, front of the shin, on the hip, and a helluva - a - lot of pain to the shoulder :/ Physical therapy starts on the 10th. I'm really...

Yes, you are right. I should have elaborated on the crash a little furthur. I'm not accepting 100% responsibility, but the bike going down could have been prevented by and more experienced rider: See above edit! I really liked my FZ6, and if it's totaled, I'm looking to get another or maybe a...

I joined this forum a couple of months ago, and before I had a reason to use it, some silverhaired cager pulled in front of my and busted up my 07 FZ6. pics here (blood warning) bike wreck - a set on Flickr Not to bad as the injuries are concerened, but there is frame damage. So I'm assuming...
