Went down early this morning in Orlando... No lights on the street, the signs marking the round-about were gone and approached it at approx. 35mph. Hit the curb flew thru the round-about and took a tumble in the mud....Totally sucks but My gear did it's job!!! Was glad to walk away from that one. The aftermath was:
bent forks
gouged magneto cover,
cracked akrapovic can,
every fairing cracked or torn
puig wind screen shattered
trashed front wheel, tire, discs...etc etc....

total damage in excess of $6800! Wow! ANd I was evn going 10 mph under the limit too...

Just glad to still be here. Be safe everyone and WEAR your GEAR!!!!


Yup yup...


Thanks guys n girls! I hope to be in the market for a new one soon...

That sucks. Going slow too. You go slow you get lots of dammage. Go fast and you would probally ride home.

did you have insurance??

 

[Reyd1]

Yup. I wouldn't have considered buyin w/o it... Still sucks tho... I hate to see my bike like that...

To bad about your bike, I guess that is what insurance is for, make sure you make a claim for your gear, my guess is most of it would be considered a loss by the insurance company.. Glad your ok..
