sooooo..... it was a perfectly nice sunny day out today in toronto. temp about 10 C. went riding with two buddies. i was in front we were going straight at about 100-120kph in the fast lane. this van 1 car ahead of me decided to turn into the express merge lane the LAST MINUTE. he couldn't make it and stopped 2 feet in front of the guardrail (those water barrels) on the shoulder. the car in front of me had to slam on the brakes. i was keeping about 2 sec distance in between. i went hard on the brakes but knew wasn't gonna stop in time. swerved in my own lane and slowed to about 20kph before my bike went sideways and threw me off (but finally stopped in time). with my sidi boots i still got a sore foot. without them probably a broken ankle for sure. and bruised right hip.
somehow the handlebar hit the gas tank and left a small dent. right side pod is smashed. right footpeg snapped off (riding home with one foot hanging in the air felt weird lol). my givi engine guard is slightly bent but saved the engine and frame from any damage.
ride safe guys
