Update: Have had quite a few more x-rays and it turns out while my hip is non broke two of my ribs are broke. Still no word from the Insurance company about the property damage amount.

The results of the CT scan were negative for a break in my hip but the doctor said I lost a unit of blood in my side from the impact. Long road ahead for recovery. I'll keep everyone posted.

Those were the only 315 miles I had ever ridden. The fz6 was my first bike (hopefully not the last). I slid on my left side pretty much with the bike. I didn't go very far. I had slowed down alot. I was probably 50 feet from the car when it was all done and over. My gloves held up well but...

Going to get my CT scan results tomorrow. I'll tell you the equipment was a life saver. All of which is toast now. Had a joe rocket leather mesh jacket, Fulmer helmet, cortech leather and kevlar gloves, some jeans and timberlands. My road rash is less than the sie of a dime on my knee. the...

here are some pics

I talked to his insurance theyclaimed 100% liability so I can delve into details. I was in the far left lane doing 50-55mph two motorcyles in lane to my right rear, 100m to the car in front of me and 50m between me and the car behind me. I was a divided highway I so I had the concrete...

I think that it's going to take a while for things to cool down at the home front before I replace the bike. My wife is hating bikes and people that try to kill me by driving stupid at the moment.

couldn't quite walk away but I'm alive. Going to get a CT scan tomorrow for a possible fractured hip. Got an express trip to the emergency room. You get all the good drugs at the hospital then they write you a scrip for something ineffective. Oh the FZ had less than 400miles on it. I'm...

Over the weekend I had my first accident on a motorcycle. I had my FZ6 for less than three months before some jerk on the highway decided to lose control, cross three lanes of traffic sideways hit the concrete divider and then me. I was lucky enough that I braked fast enough to miss...

Looking back I think of much more dangerous and stupid things that I've done than ride my fz6. I've jumped out of planes, driven a car 150mph on bald non z rated tires, drove a 7ft wide vehicle on a 2m wide lane in traffic, and various other things the military had me do that was inherently...

I'm with GastonJ. I'm not a donor of blood or organs for two reasons. One is that since I lived in Europe during a certain time period they will not accept my blood for donation. Two is I think it's highly unethical for me to give something away for it then to be sold to someone who needs...

It was a great price. It broke down to $5700 for the bike and $149 tax.

I bought my '08 brand new two weeks ago at Sport Time in Albertville AL for $5849 OTD. Great guys there, recommend them to anyone. They quoted me that price on the telephone and actually meant it. Not like some other places that started adding dealer fees to their quoted price.

A poor man's version is just to take dish soap and a couple of spoonfuls of sugar. It works like Lava soap and most people have it around the house all the time.

My name is Tony and I Bought a new 08 FZ6 Last Saturday and have actually lurked around these forums and others to help me decide what I wanted for about 4 or 5 months. This is my first bike and I'm spending this weekend trying to get a feel for it. Got to love Alabama winters since this...
