Totalled my bike..Do'h!

[ntrent1]

Yup, I totalled my CBR tonight. I lost concentration for 2 seconds, didnt see some stopped cars in front of me, locked the rear wheel up, and dropped it doing about 45. Somehow, i slid inbetween the 2 stopped lanes of traffic, and managed not to hit anything at all. My bike didn't fare so well, however, and slammed into the back of a caravan, and wedged itself under the van.

I don't think I'm gonna ride again. This is the 2nd wreck in 5 months. First one was when a deer ran into the side of me.

This one almost killed me....and I don't think I want to tempt fate a 3rd and most likely final time...

Sorry to hear that ntrent1. But like Joe said, at least you're ok! That's the most important thing!

[Het4Something]

if u still want to ride, you should get a stunt cage... to preserve the bike atleast. I like cbr's... u dont have to give up, just concentrate more lol, but im glad to hear ur ok!

I have one thing to say:


"Big Ben" Roethlisberger Injured in Motorcycle Accident


He has the money to pay for surgery. Be safe and save your money for Ball Pythons. Besides, you'll probably save a ton of money on car insurance if you take your bike off your policy.

[Wallbanger]

Don't quit. Give it time.

[djslurp1200]

Don't quit. Give it time.

[viper94bite]

[recycling goddess]
