I got my first time out of the way.

[annguyen1981]

For those of you who had a wager...

I F*CKING #)*&(#())*& FELL TODAY!

I was turning right at the set of lights THREE F*CKING HOUSES away from my house...  The same intersection that the asshat rear-ended me.

I either hit some oil or gravel, but the rear gave in, and I fell on the LEFT side.

There's minor scratches on the left fairing pieces...  all of them...  but the tail section is more like a scuff, so that's not noticable.  The clutch level looks like it bent fowards.  Then there's the front signal that broke... It still works, but it kinda "hangs" there.

That's all I know of on the bike...

Now to me...  My f*cking left leg is hurting...  Minor, but enough to have to sit or lie down.

I'll post more later.

Hope you feel better.

[yamahonkawazuki]

rofl an i thought you got laid , but dude glad youre alright tho, but look at it this way, now youve got a legit excuse to do some mods to the bike 

[cafeboy]

Thats SUCKS bro.
Hope you feel better 

[bubba zanetti]

Thats no good mate, so close to christmas. Hope your not hurt bad.

[Kasumi]

Yea it sucks, they always say most accidents happen within about 3 miles of your house, on the roads you think you know. Least your not hurt too bad for christmas and it don't sound so bad on the bike.

I guess i could say i told you so but that would be mean and technically you fell on the cheap side (non-exhaust side)

Glad your ok! Get someone to give you some cash for christmas and have that panel repainted and stickered and/or purchase a new one from ebay if its cheaper.

So you're still a virgin?   

That sucks but you got away with minor damage, at least your lever didn't break = unrideable.

paint pens you can get from color-rite.com

You can wrap the turnsignal stem with electrical or other type of tape and it'll stick straight out again until you replace it. Unless it's broken at the attachment in which case usually you can retighten it.

Thankz guys (except Kasumi )

I've been in bed off my feet for most of the time since the fall.  I usually sleep on my side, whether it be left or right, but when I on on my right side, my left leg seems to hurt the most.   I can't tell if it's my hip or what.

But I just went downstairs about an hour ago to have dinner, and the more I'm ON my feet, the less it hurts.
Strange, huh?

Anyway...  There goes a LOOOOOOOOOONG streak of not going down.  It's been about 16 months and around 12,000 miles (in almost every type of weather).

I am now officially in the second category of bikers.

[pantablo]

sucks for you. at least it wasnt serious.

An go get some Epsom Salts and Pour some in some Warm Bath Water. Soak until you look like a Prune.Whatever you do don't Drink any of the Water.Remember when hurt Riding your Bike Epsom Salts is your Friend.Especially when you don't want to go to the doctor. Being an Amatuer Veteranarian I tend to Doctor myself more than I should.I use Epsom Salts on just About everything Sprains,Broken Bones,Cuts,Bruises and Infections.On top of that I use Black Salve (Icthamol) or a Sulfur Drawing Ointment to Also Help with Drawing the Infection.Skin Irritation? Use Tzon Equine healing Cream with 10% Hydrocortozone,Tea Tree Oil,Pepper Mint Oil. :thumb:Regular House Salt,Kerosene and Corn Liquor is Good For Some things too.

[annguyen1981]

A nice long and warm bath sounds good right now...

[indywar360]

Jughaid you should write a book. "Household Cures, Simple Green, And V-Twin Engine Rebuilding" or something.

+1 and I was gonna ask ... how was she, then I realised even if he wasn't talking about crashing ... it would have been futile 
Cool.

[annguyen1981]

why do you think I made the title that way?

[annguyen1981]

Is that technically a LOW-SIDE?

I mean...  I was trying to turn RIGHT, but I fell on my LEFT.  I'm still confused about this...

[97gs500e]

I F*CKING #)*&(#())*& FELL TODAY!

If it makes you feel any better, I dumped my SV like three days after I got, it a couple months ago.  I crunched my front fairing and scuffed my my left pipe a little bit.  I came into a corner too hot, straightened up the bike and ran off onto the shoulder, and lost the rear in a muddy spot at about 5 mph, and the bike fell over and crunched the fairing.  I zipped-tied the fairing back to the frame, and rode home.  

My deductible is $500 and fixing the bike only cost me about $300, so I didn't ever report the low speed tip over (I don't like to call it a lowside).  I was pissed, but I'm over it now.  

[97gs500e]

I'm looking through pics of my SV, and I'm totally gonna put 'em on my signature like your R6 pics... I may be copying you, but it looks good, be flattered.

[annguyen1981]

Thankz man.  I think the setup is a little...  amateur...  if that's the right word...  I usually can think of better stuff.  And the strange part is that I don't have ANY photoshop skillz.



UPDATE:
I found out something VERY important...  I can't go up and down stairs without my leg hurting the most...

[rob1bike]

+1 on the epsom salts.

That's a crappy christmas gift! Guess you can be glad that it wasn't worse.

[NiceGuysFinishLast]

Glad you're ok dude, and welcome to the club...

And Merry Christmas!
