Well that sucks, but at least you are alive and mostly okay. Bike seems to be in relatively good shape too.So I had my first accident this morning right after work. Literally went down 5 or 10 minutes after leaving. Was cruising in the center lane of the highway and switched to the fast lane as it merges with another freeway. I had two cars ahead of me with about 5 or 6 car lengths between me and the Camry in front of me. The next few seconds was a blur. I saw the camrys brake light and the gap closed super quick. Pulled in the clutch and had to lay into both brakes hard. That's when the front end locked up and slid out right. I wanna say I was doing 50 or so when I went down but it was a blur of rolling in the fast lane seeing the car behind me and seeing my bike slide into the Camry. Luckily my jacket and gloves did their job but I did wind up with some good road rash and a few stitches on my left arm. Right pinky is in a splint. Jacket is toast as well as the gloves. Bike slid so far it ate into the left engine cover. Leaked all over the place. Fairings,turn signal and mirror is shot. Road rash is killing more than anything and a bunch of swelling. Helmet didn't even touch the ground. A few pics.View attachment 32564View attachment 32565View attachment 32566View attachment 32567View attachment 32568
