    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. Insurance picked up the bike yesterday and I already miss having a bike :/ They didn't give me as much as I wanted but it also wasn't a number I was going to turn down. Maybe one day I'll be back on two wheels and out of my cage. And before anyone says it...

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    Great way to put it. I feel very fortunate to have just superficial injuries(from what we are able to tell at this point) and to still be breathing. With the speed, location, and how I went down I honestly shouldn't be here able to post about it. And I'd love to move over to the vtwin side and...

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    Yeah, at this point I want it gone, I was trying to sell it anyways. I just hope the number insurance gives me is a number I find fair. I have a 93 silverado rcsb in the driveway waiting to get a turbo'd 5.3. Time for a different project

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    Yeah, I'm ok but both her and I know I shouldn't be. Worst part is she texted me before I went out and told me to be careful and I told her "Always, but just in case you know how I feel". Ten minutes later I was calling her to tell her I went down. She's pretty upset and I can tell I need to...

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    Yeah I've got a girl I'm trying to work things out with and she's pretty traumatized by the whole thing. I need to start taking how she feels into account when I'm making decisions. I've put her through a lot and I'm sure this was pretty close to the tip of the iceberg for her.

    I don't remember, but with how I've been riding lately I know it definitely wasn't slow

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    I'd say multiple layers varying from very dense to not so much. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow when I get up and around. And thanks I'll keep y'all posted. I honestly just want insurance to take the bike and cut me a check, my priorities are changing and I've got a street truck sitting...

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    The bike was a decent distance down the ramp from me. It's really all a big blur honestly. Its odd, I have more rash on my body parts that were covered by the jacket than I do the ones covered by my jeans.

    Idk what I burnt it up on but the jacket sleeve disintegrated giving something access to it.

    Yeah I expected it to hold up a little better than it did, might have to contact Icon about it and express my concerns.

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    The jacket has built in elbow pads/shoulder reinforcement. Forearm section is a mix of textile/mesh. It helped a lot but was torn apart on impact. I knew the risk associated with wearing regular jeans in case of an off but I was actually surprised I wasn't more torn up waist down.

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    I'd love to know that as well, I couldn't believe it when I saw the jacket and saw how bad it really was. It was fully zipped and the buttons were snapped together on the wrists.

    Roadrash sucks............Like really bad

    I went down pretty hard last night. I was on an overpass that takes a sweeping down to the right direction changing from one highway to the other. My memory is a little iffy but I believe I hit a slick spot and that took me right into the left side barrier and down I went. However all the...

    M/C with more hp than your 1st car

    My first two cars actually lol. First was an 84 Pontiac fiero 2m4 se. And the second was an 87 Pontiac fiero 2m4 coupe. One day I'll have another one, but it def won't have a stock motor in it :D

    Loud Exhaust

    I went from stock exhaust to drilled. It was alright but it wasn't what I was looking for. I started to build my own exhaust and lost interest in it. So I got two bros aluminum cans with no db killers and I couldn't be happier. The bike screams like it was built to now

    I did something today that I think I am going to regret....

    I pretty much never ride without music. I listen to a lights bass nectar station on pandora usually. Gotta love unlimited data plan

    Do You Own the Right Motorcycle?

    The fz6 is good for my current needs and budget(insurance lol). But I would really love to get a ss. Sticking with under tail exhaust so cbr600rr, certain years zx6r, Daytona 975r, r1. Etc.
