Hello all,
First post here, registered about a week ago.
Not exactly what I wanted my first post to be..
Figured hall off shame would be the best place for this.
Bought my '14 FZ6R Wednesday July 15th with 12 miles on the odometer.
Put roughly 80 glorious miles on it..
Was riding to work Sunday morning, just left my neighborhood. Came up to the intersection, at a stop sign, going to make a left. I'm sitting there waiting for cross traffic (it's a T intersection) I'm looking looking to my left- one car is a little ways away.. I look to my right and there's the front end of a sedan headed straight at me (he's turning left onto the street im on but cuts too early).. no time to react, he hits me near head on (slightly on my right). I go flying for a short bit and my bike slams to it's left and slides about 15 feet..
Luckily the other driver stops and calls for help. And I get carted off to the hospital.
I escape with no broken bones, just major contusion to my right knee/leg and neck/back pain.
I was wearing my helmet, pants, and my work boots. My backpack helped my fall a little..
The bike is totaled. Estimated 7k just in parts to replace.
I'll post pictures in a bit.
