(Cross-posted from XB and KV/Crashes and Mishaps) Lost my XB12S this week. A guy in an F-150 lost control and crossed my lane directly in front of me, hitting the median barrier just about head-on. I had less than 10 feet to get on the brakes and went down when the front tire hit the side of his truck...as he careened back out into traffic. Lessons learned: 1. Gear up! My helmet was destroyed and my leathers took a beating, but I walked away unharmed except for the inevitable sore muscles the next day. I don't always wear full gear...will now! 2. Space, space, space. In traffic you can't always create a good space barrier around you. In this case I could have, as traffic was light, but I wasn't paying attention to this guy. I should have either passed him quickly or backed off, as our speeds were too similar for our proximity. 3. Dirt experience pays off on the street. I'm glad I knew how to ride and get off a falling/sliding bike because my left footpeg and shifter were torn off...could have been my foot. 4. Wear your seatbelt. The pickup driver wasn't, and broke an ankle and at least his nose according to the EMTs. Now it's just a matter of settling the insurance and saving pennies for my next Buell! |

M1 - Thanks! Today I was able to walk with no pain. Nice feeling! Ski - No snowbird, though they make me nervous this time of year! I was raining lightly at the time...you know what that does to people around here. Wycked - Great pic! What gear did you use? Camera settings? |
