ok lets see, where to start. Well first i'll start by saying that im ok. just some road rash and bruises. and my girlfriend calls it raw meat.
either way it happened yesterday. For the NYer's i was in LI heading home on Glen Cove Rd a local road that has a speed limit of 45mph. I was heading North. I was just stopped at a red light and was at the front of the pack. I took off and was going about 50mph. It was a long sweeping left so i was leaning. Next thing u know a F*ing woman in a 300C which was on the oncoming traffic heading South just pops a left into a parking lot but stops when she sees me coming and blocks off both of the lanes in front of me. it was literally maybe around 50ft or less. Either way it was a double solid yellow line that she crossed. So at that moment in my mind i was thinking either hit her or go down. So i chose going down. I had no time to swerve out of the way. I was leaning So i slamed on the brakes and tank slap off i go. I flew off the bike side ways rolled and slid. lucky i was wearing my leather jacket but it still burned through next to the forearm armor around 1 in. while i was sliding some how my right side of my jacket slid up a little so i have road rash by my waistline on my hipbone the size of my hand and rash on both of my knees. I remember i was landing and i used my hand go down so i have 3 bruised fingers. when i got up i remember the first thing she said was "i had my blinkers on cant you see?" i wanted to smack her right there and then.
So now my bike is pretty messed up. frame sliders bent, my whole right side of the bike is pretty scraped up. brake lever, windshield, pegs broke off, seats ripped up. tank dented, fairs all messed up rear sliders the weld broke off, but the engine is ok. clip on is messed up.
Cops came, off i went in the ambulance. I have 3 witnesses in cars that were behind me which all saw what happened. I havent got the police report back yet but it should be in favor for me. I only have liability and theft so im screwed if her insurance dont pay. Shes the cause of my accident but i never hit her. maybe someone can help me out on that. cops are just saying she was a factor. According to my gf they sounded like they were stereotyping. it sounded like the cops are on the lady's side saying its the motorcycle fault since i ride a crotch rocket. but lucky i have couple of witnesses. now im just trying not to think about it and rest up. learned my lesson. i have draggin jeans but didnt wear it yesterday, going to buy a pair of bohn pants.
