Thank goodness you're okay, a 45mph collision would be like a catapult in my imagination. Do you have pics of the bike? You might post an ad in the for sale section for wanted.

Glad your alright!

Might be able to recoup a little of your money to by parting out some of your GS in the for sale section.

I hope they deemed it their fault and you are getting insurance money and maybe a little extra for your damages.

Could we have a few more details or photos? What gear were you wearing?

Actually, given the amount of traffic on the road, your chance of being in a collision is quite small ~ hundredths of a fraction of a per cent.

Unfortunately poop still happens ~ don't forget to see your doctor

Thanks for all your concerns, i'm doing great now . i was wearing some BDU army issue pants and a t-shirt lol doc said i do have a brain but it is alright so thats a plus. insurance is going to take care of me, the car driver is trying to pin it on me but i have 2 witnesses in the police report and his insurance company is now pissed b ecause he lied to them.  Thanks for the yakaz.com site.

I hope this makes you consider buying/wearing a jacket next time you ride.

T-bone?  At an intersection?

Dude, you could have DIED....


Consider yourself lucky, buy a lotto ticket, touch your gf, and buy a new bike! 


90% of fatal motorcycle accidents happen at intersections, according to the highway safety patrol if I remember correctly. 

Glad your ok.  Situation like that, nothing you can do but pray for the best.

Here's F3 I sold, before and after.  Buyer said a lady pulled out in front of him when he was doing about 45.  Broke his elbow and rashed him really bad.  Of course lady said she didn't see him.
