Gixxus Christ! Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 50 mph low side into a ditch. Rolled a huge fallen tree over with the impact. Atgatt, I'm good just a sore knee and a little rib pain. Bike is pretty fucked, waiting on my ole lady and her brother to get down here with the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue-yamaR6s Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hope it wasnt that back tire that got you into trouble? Glad you are ok. Was thinking about doing that ride today but 27 degrees deterred me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Oh snap. Glad you wore your gear and not too banged up. At least you have the winter for repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dying Shadow Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Good to hear your ok. What kinda gear you have on by the way if you don't mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Yeah, my knee is almost as bruised as my ego. Big thanks to all the guys for helping me get the bike out of the ditch, offer condolences and gave me a ride 'mandem' to the nearest bar to soothe my body and mind with beer and cheeseburgers. Couldn't ask for a better group of guys to ride with....slower yes, better no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aw man, that sucks. Glad you will be ok, hopefully the bikes not too bad off. Did you assess the damage yet or are you still "treating" your wounds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 I'm in the truck nearly back to fair city massillon. Preliminary damage report is windshield, most of the front fairings, ram air tubes, fairing stay, exhaust, shift linkage, rear pegs, possibly sub frame, won't start or prime fuel pump so maybe tip.over sensor, kickstand sensor or connection somewhere in the front loom. Idk if my rims or forks are straight or not. Belly pan is trashed....will know more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Well at least it isnt springtime. So albeit unexpected, the winter project is set for you. Good luck with her man, but you definitely have the skillset to get it breathing again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner75 Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Wait, I blow a corner, you come back to check on me then you have a slow 2mph drop in the ditch, then on the way home, you low sided and wrecked the shit outta it? Well Im glad to hear your ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sorry to hear about the bike, the good thing is (from the sounds of it) you weren't seriously hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollnhot Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sorry to hear that, been there a few times myself. Good to hear your ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 sorry this happened sam, i feel like i should have strongly pushed you to head home after the minor mishap. Glad your okay, and reached home safe. Good thing we were close to civilization and by some miracle AT&T coverage was there. ATGATT every one, cant stress this enough. since the last couple of years seen many people just stand up and walk away as if nothing happened. Good thing OR stresses this very much.

Al Z. Heimer Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tough break Sam. Sux big time about your bike. Main thing is you walked away. That corner was tricky. I had a bit of a wow moment there myself. Just glad your okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaDoc Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 true, true. good thing there was a pick up in front of us, or else we ould have hit them much harder, even at that pace it was a tricky one, i kind of drifted all the way to the outter edge to make that one. anyways, you are good at working on your bike, i think you gonna make it look even better as a street fighter by the time your done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Yeah, lots of work to be done, that's the worst crash I've had, been lucky to get up and walk away every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
