kalel3914, this is horrible experience, it hurts to read it, let alone live it.
Old fart did really nice number on you two, sent you both to hospital in matter of few seconds.
I am glad that at least you could tell us about it. Heal fast!

Man, is Murphy running around this forum or what???? Glad to hear your alive to talk about it and I hope you and your friend mend soon. There's still plenty of riding to be done this year and I hope you make out OK with the bike or its replacement.

Glad you are OK! Wow, both bikes going down. Thanks for the post, reminding everyone it can happen to anyone of us. Like some members have mentioned, those '08's are going down fast. But in reality, according to a study, I think the average rider has around 3,000 miles on their bike when they go down, but it seems this is not the case in this forum. We have had at least a half a dozen go down, thankfully no life threatening injuries, and this forum seems to be well below that 3,000 mile average.

Glad you guys are as ok as we could hope for the situation. Heal up quick and get that legal B.S. taken care of. I cant seem to stress this enough, shake off those mental cobwebs, Its riding time but the cagers are still as retarded as ever, you are invisible to all of them.



you guys have to stop talking about the '08's its scaring me! I have 4000 miles on mine now so maybe I'm ok. I have been doing everything in my power to not even scratch it and now they seem like retard magnets! stay away!

300 miles ago, i bought my new black fz6. Saturday my buddy and I put on the exhaust and went out for a ride. Were getting off rt 309 and some old man cuts us off and slams on his brakes. We swerve back on the highway to avoid running up his a$$ and he cuts back in front of us. My front tire locks up, I take a header over the bars.The bike floats over me and up my friends back (he's on my old Suzuki GS 500). In the end, He's got a broken hand, road rash and is still in the hospital because he needs surgery on his hand, and I've got a broken foot, separated shoulder and an intimate relationship with road rash. FZ is twisted more than likely beyond repair, and the Suzuki if it weren't such a cheap bike to start with would be fixable, but for now, I'm bikeless, and beaten up. If it weren't for a helmet, I'd be splattered all over the highway. Upon going over the bars, I watched the pavement slam and scrape the hell out of my face shield.
Crashing is a surreal experience, try to avoid it!

Did the coffin Dodging old fart stop? Has he got insurance? I hope you heel quickly and your buddy to.
