Still alittle shaken up so sorry for the rambling.
Out and about today in the twisties of VA... We hit a bad decreasing radius turn that had gravel around the mid/second apex. I tried to run the bike wide to avoid while lightly braking...Long story short, I target fixated as opposed to leaning the bike further over once I saw the debris. I was almost completely stopped on the shoulder and ended up running off (from the rider behind me).
Someones got it on video, i'll pop that up when I get it. My Rev'it Airvolution gloves are torn at the seam of my left thumb. Kinda pissed they didn't hold up better, but looking at it from the bright side, the gear did its job... Fuuucckkking A, there isn't even a scratch on my A* GPR jacket. I'll prob end up replacing my scorpion exo 400 helm although I don't feel like it hit or took any damage. Worse case I'll send it off to them and see what they say about it. I'm seeing some white scuff marks on the back so...
Lets see accident was in a left hand decreasing radius turn with a trail of gravel, The left side of my bike isn't badly damaged, I mean my fairings are scuffed up from where the bike slid and landed between the rockwall and the ditch, but its not bad enough for me to all of a sudden drop 1k for new farings yet. My shifter lever however is fucked... It basically snapped from the rear set and I also think that my kickstand on sensor thing is fucked as well... After picking the bike up and shaking it and such to reset the cpu, it didnt want to start.... Even after pushing the kickstand up and down... eventually it got it though, but starting the bike right now is still iffy. I basically had to get some one to put me into third while rolling and I rode home with shit ziptied up loll.
Sooo this will make my first real wreck. The first was when it was around 34-36 degrees outside combined with cold tires and on the bikes right hand side. Eventually, I need to look at replacing my fairings.
The next couple paychecks will def be saved and going to gear and slowly fixing shit...Please keep an eye out for me if you can... I would love to find a new complete fairing kit as well as a shift lever.
I'll post pics soon
