Sorry I havent been on in a while!!

[coursonap]

I had an accindent about a month ago. Had a s-10 pull out in front of me when I was doing about 50 mph, and I went flying and sliding down the road stoping about 50' from where it happened. Bike is totalled, I ended up with a rashed up sie bruised thighs about a 7" cut on my left leg, my ring finger on my left hand was dislocated at the first knuckle, and a cracked rib. Luckily I was wearing my helmet and my leather jacket. Here are some pics af the aftermath.

I did end up getting a new bike. I didnt get the FZ6 again, but i am on 2 wheels again. Here are some pics of the new bike its not a yamaha but it is an awesome running bike.

Dang man, really glad you're ok. Can you shed a little more light on the event? Who was at fault? Anything you could have done differently?

Thanks for posting. I hope that you heal quickly and completely.

The other driver was at fault. He didnt stop when he pulled out from the side road. I was doing 50 in a 40 zone but that is not the point he shoud have stopped and looked to see if someone was coming. I did get a warning for something stupid because I punched the guys windshield on his truck. and spidered it. The cop told me I should not have done that but he probably would have done the same thing. As far as healing I am pretty much completely healed but my finger is just a little bigger at that knuckle now, Its hard to get my gloves on. I will say that morphine at the emergency room was some goo sh*t though.

What did the other guy get?

I've never seen a frame and forks snapped like that. Hectic.

Re: sorry guys

Whoa, glad you're healing okay! I agree with the cop, it's okay to lose your temper when you were that close to losing your life!
Enjoy the Ninja! She's a purty thing, but sounds like you don't need the legroom that I do; glad you're going to stay with this forum! :thumbup:

Re: sorry guys

HoooLeee Crrraaap! Wow! I'm glad you're okay, that was one heck of a crash.

The Ninja is cool. It's an '09 isn't it? If so that is supposed to be the 600SS for this year.

Enjoy it and ride safe! :thumbup:

Re: sorry guys

Glad you got through it a good as you did. I'm familiar with the morphine relief at the hospital after having crashed into the side of a car myself at 50 mph (many years ago).

I've noticed a lot of trouble with pickup trucks lately. Don't mean to sound prejudice, but last weekend two of them passed me on the wrong side of the road at high speed. I was already doing speed limit +10. They had no regard for my safety. And when I ride Highway 2 in the Angeles National Forest (before it burned), the pickups are the worst of tailgaters.

Thanks for sharing.

Re: sorry guys

Here all the pickup drivers are people who want something fast, but figured a cheap pickup has less weight than a car and will be cool for hooning. Dangerous bunch of drivers, not as bad as the 4wd'ers but pretty close. Main difference is they know they are doing something wrong, the 4wd'ers are generally just a few cents short of the full dollar.

Good to hear your ok! Nice new bike, hideous exhaust though. I guess if you fell on that side it would keep the bike a good half metre of the ground tho... new kawasaki built in slider maybe? Can't beleive the damage on your last bike, thats absolutely insane!
