Good evening everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been busy with work and things around the house.
I got into a wreck on April 15th. Nice afternoon 3 days before my birthday. Had the bike out less than an hour. Was going to see a friend in SE Portland before work when a woman on a phone looking right going left accelerated into me. Traffic all over and nowhere to go. Same as my last accident actually.
Bike was a total and of course she had no insurance. I walked away on a broken foot with a deep tissue bruise on one leg and a severe contusion inthe other. My jacket took quite a bit of damage to my elbow and shoulder but I was unscathed. My new Shoei full face took a little beating too. Geico stepped up. Paid my claim which paid off my loan. They valued her at $13400 or so and I only paid $12200 and owed less than $9k on her. So I have a pretty good down payment for my next bike.
While I loved my bike I decided against another 9. I'll be buying Kawasaki's z1000 streetfighter.

Anyway I hope you guys won't mind me joining you on some of the rides, even if I'm not on a 9.
