On the 4th on June @ 3am I totalled my 6r. I don't remember anything for about 5 hours before or after it happened. Apparently I had been drinking, something I haven't done for 6 months and never on a bike. I also had a passenger that I don't know, who was wearing my helmet and jacket. She is alright, just shaken up I guess. Bike was totalled, Progressive gave me 6985.25 for my 2010 with ~5,500mi that I got in Feb this year, which is more than I paid for her. I ended up with 45 stitches/staples above and around my right eye going back to the middle of my head, also suffered a concussion. Some minor road rash on knees, elbows, right shoulder and hip, and on my left shoulder blade.

I'm doing good now, supposed to go to back to work after the 29th, thank god for short-term disability. Just wanted to post this, basically a good bye. I guess I was out of Iowa and according to my probation I'm not allowed to leave the state without permission (or drink alcohol) so they are probably going to revoke my probation on Thursday and send me to prison.

I learned a lot from you guys (girls too) and will come back if/when I can.

Thanks for everything,

Drew

Wow. That's depressing... :(

Sorry about your bad luck, man. You'll pull through, though. Keep your chin up and I'm sure you'll be back on 2 wheels in no time.

Wow man, that is crazy. Again, definitely lucky that you are alive. Something had to happen to make you fall off the wagon. Try not to worry too much, maybe you will be alright as far as your PO goes. Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and you will bounce back. Try to keep your head up and we will see you on the flip flop. Feel free to hang around the board when you can, you don't have to leave just because you don't have a FZ6R or even a bike at all anymore.

WOW I am glad that you and the passenger survived. But I have to agree with some of the posts above. What the heck were you thinking?? Well I guess that you did not think at all,,drinking and riding a motorcycle:spank:.

I'm not gonna repeat what everybody is saying about drink and drive, because you already know it was a bad idea.

Good luck, the "go to prison" part is really tough, can't even imagine.

just to kind of shed some light on the why??? my cousin did the same thing with a car he would normally have 1 2 or maybe 3 beers and then drive home from parties. not that big of a deal, but 1 time he was blackout drunk and woke up at 2am and thought he was just buzzed, and so did everyone else at the party they all said he looked fine and acted fine to. so with his girlfriend sleeping in the back and his friend in the passenger seat they left the party in his car they turned out of the driveway hit about 50 miles per hour and went straight of the first corner they got too into the woods and everyone got hurt really bad.

basically all I'm saying is never even have a beer and ride your bike because sometime you may be totally trashed and think you just have a buzz but really your not even conscious and off you go for the worst mistake of your life!!!

once again really sorry man...

Wow, what a night. I'm sensing from the details of your adventure (mostly total lack of memory, sober for six months) that there might be an underlying problem with alcohol here?
Whatever the reason, sounds like you f*%ed up pretty bad. That being said, I doubt you set out that morning to get blindingly drunk, violate your parole, wreck your bike, and risk a stranger's and your life.
I sincerely hope you are able to overcome whatever is causing you to behave like this. It is obvious that, underneath your mistakes, you are an smart, intelligent, and interesting individual (I am basing this entirely on the fact that you owned a 6R). Jokes aside, I hope that you can overcome whatever is happening in your life that caused you to do this.
Good on you for being able to admit your mistake. On most other forums, everyone and their mother would have been fighting over who gets to flame the snot out of you first. It shows the quality of people who posted before me so far. I have to wonder, though, if posting this in a public forum might affect your insurance settlement? I don't know what your coverage is like, but I wouldn't see a penny for my bike if I totaled it drunk.
Good luck to you. Sounds like the next little while for you is going to be pretty rough. I hope you come through it and see some sunshine on the other side of it.

I could get into a long story but for short, I had 3 DWI's never saw prison walls, the last one was when I was about 23. I am almost 35 now and long since sober, but I will tell you this, when my drinking finally stopped alot of my problems went away, though I have different problems now I don't think once to grab a drink cause I know it will make it worse. Anyway I hope you fair well with PO and glad your ok, one thing I can say and alot of people have said before me, keep your head up and you will get through this, REMEMBER THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! take care and I wish you well.

What was your original offense that put you on probation?? Depending on the severity of the original crime, they may not revoke your probation. They may extend your probation, though...
