first wreck i've ever had in the 6 years ive been riding. i was going thru a turn doing around 50...there was a hump in the road that i thought i was going to avoid, but couldn't. next thing i know, im aiming for the sidewalk, and missed it by a couple feet. smacked the 8 inch curb, and smacked the tree that was 5 feet in front of me. by the time i hit the curb, i was probably doing 30. both wheels on the bike are toast, front forks, gauges, headlights, fairing, are wasted. from what i heard, the middle section of the bike look untouched. the back part of the seat did sustain a small scratch, along with the rear piece that holds the tail light.

i was taken to the hospital and they found nothing broken inside of me. got a good case of roadrash on my left arm and my right shin. the left side of my torso is also really really sore. but im recovering. i should be back to work on monday.

i hope my bike is ok. had it for one month, and had almost 3000 miles on it.

Dang....that sucks. Heal up and glad your bike took the worst of it. It's easier to replace the broken bits on a bike then on you!

Heal up up quick. Try that sheet gel on the rash. It'll keep it moist and not so owee.

Moedank....just 50?
Glad to see your doing better. When I saw your bike on the side of the road I thought you were toast! Bike took a beaten, but no frame damage. That's great, unless you were holding out for the 2005's. Ride safe...and remember you don't always have to be first.

Best of luck.

Glad to hear you made it. Flying human projectiles & trees usually don't mix very well (for the survival of the former)!

Good luck with the recovery and take it easy out there.

Ride safe.

Glad to hear that you'll be ok. Three and a half months after my crash, and I'm still recovering. I can't wait to get my new 'Bolt. I'm sorry that it happened, but knowing you'll be fine is a great.

yeah. im doing better. my arm is healing and i can actually walk around now.

i talked to the shop and they are supposed to start working on it sometime next week. i just have a feeling my bike wont ever be the same as it was before the wreck. it's not going to have that "brand new" feeling anymore. =(

Yeah, its gonna have that "My bike hit a tree at 30mph and I all gots was this stinking T-shirt" feel to it.

Good luck with the insurance company. Glad you are okay, heal up quickly
