Hey all, as most of you may kno i own a RA, but my other passion is my motorcycle. Well i wrecked it yesterday(2/18). Now im trying to type with one hand as my left collar bone was shattered in the crash. Ill try and get some pics of everything. I go to an orthopedist on monday to see how they want to rebuild it, but until then im walkin around in a sling . I own a Blue GSXR 1000 if anybody wants to kno. So ya guess im outta the modding car world for a bit as i can barely walk without this bone movin and grinding the other causing pain. Again ill try and put some pics up of everything to make it all a bit more interesting lol.

 

Sorry to hear. I hope you heal quickly.

 

Glad your okay.

 

Anybody want an injen CAI for there RA let me kno 225 shipped, goin to need money now to pay for bike repairs . i need new rear sets, and frame sliders and a newplate on the left side of my bike. My fairings are a bit scratched but ill try touch up paint on em first since they are expensive and the frame sliders for anybody who owns a bike! HEED MY WARNING, BUY FRAME SLIDERS FOR YOUR BIKE AS THOSE LIL GUYS SAVED MY BIKE FROM TOTAL ANNIHILATION!

 

And there is my left clavical shattered, as u can see it is broke 4 times total. The large piece coming to the surface of my skin and stabbing me all the time. And the other 3 pieces floating about, 2 of which are smaller and floating around, and the larger piece which is supposed to be connected to the bone that is now stabbing my shoulder.

 

Wow that sucks. Looks painful. Glad ur ok. Thats exactly why I do not ride a bike.

 

Did you high side????

I ride a 08 gsxr 600 myself, and have seen some bad wrecks. My buddy was clipped by another bike moving about 50 while he was going about 20 to make a u-turn. The other bike shattered his leg and sent him sliding down the highway. Scary stuff, I'm very particular when I go riding (conditions, traffic, etc..).

Hope you heal quickly.

 

Look likes someones getting Percocet ;p
No but seriously, that looks pretty bad, thank (insert deity) that you walked away from that one (spectacles, *********, wallet and watch)!

 

highsided like a mother ****er <-- word will be bleeped. i spun in the air like 2 times and landed on my shoulder area and head, and it pincered my body and....well thats th result. Ill post pics of the bike next. its not horrible but enough to make me tear up a lil, poor Tori..... yes she is named Tori. yes after Tori Black the pornstar

 

Damn dude, that sucks. At least you walked away from the crash. I'm just starting to ride and I hate hearing/reading stories of people wrecking. However it still hasn't stopped me even though some people think I'm nuts to want to ride.

I will definitely take your advice when I can afford it and get some frame sliders for my bike.

So if you don't mind my asking, what caused you to highside?

 

man that is good to see you on the boards.... i ride too.... had a 1997 gsx r 750 and raced 50cc mini and 110cc mid bikes .... and trick out go peds.... i crashed on a tricked out go ped doing about 25mph and i am a big guy flew and crashed into sidewalk broke both on my toes and now i dont even mess with go peds anymore....

 

psycho, i wont try and scare ya but i was only goin 15mph......yes ur all prolly like wait wut. That seems slow as hell, well i thought so too till i got up and screamed like a pansy in utter pain from my shoulder. It was a 90* angle turn i slowed down alot to make it since it was residential as well. I had just washed the bike after changing the oil, spark plugs, and coolant. I literally made it 2 blocks from my house and whammo. I believe the cause was when i washed it, i had some coolant i had spilled on the ground earlier from takin out the old. Well i had washed my bike in the same spot and i assume rolled my tire thru it making it slick. Since i only went a few blocks away my tire still was not fully dry and was well lubricated to mess my day up on its first lean. So ya leaned just a lil into the corner like a normal biker, and the rear tire dipped out from under me, i tried to save it but once it caught traction again from me tryin to pull her back, all the momentum high sided me like a effing slingshot accross the roadway. So note to everyone slow or not ur bike will eff ur day up, and frame sliders or rail sliders what ever u want to call em please buy some to save the bike.

 

damn.... man.... were you fully suited? or just jeans shirt and helmet?

 

I understand what your saying. 2 weeks after I started taking my bike for a spin around the block in my neighborhood to teach myself how to ride I got a little cocky turning right into my driveway. Turned the handlebars to the right more than I should have for the speed I was going, ~5-10 mph. I felt the bike getting ready to lowside and dump me, so I grabbed a fistful of front brake and caught my bike from going over with my legs while slamming the boys into the gas tank. I pulled my bike up the driveway, put the kickstand down, and got off to make sure the boys were still there. It messed up my confidence for a couple weeks and freaked me out on making right hand turns. Luckily I'm over it now. But that experience taught me a valuable lesson and I know I'm still gonna have more lessons to learn from.

Thanks for explaining what happened, hopefully it will help me and others out in the future.
