I got a call yesterday on the GSXR6 I have had up on Craigs list for about 3 months now.. Guy says he has cash in hand and wants to see it at noon.. (This all happened yesterday btw) So I head over to storage pull the bike out throw the charger on the battery and start looking the bike over.. Tires look good PSI is at 35 on both, chain is in good shape, over all bike looks good just a little dusty.. I tried ot blow it off with the air hose but no go.. I turn the key on and fire the little bike up.. let her run for a few min shut it off check the oil again and take off to the car wash to give it a quick rinse..
As I was going from Dorchester to a side road some truck turned from across the intersection with me.. No big deal it is a 4 lane rd, and the sign says " keep moving change lanes later"... So I am turning and my foot slips off the peg, I look down out of reaction not for more then 1/4 of a second when I look up all i see if a big green wall next to me and getting closer. Seems the truck was crossing a white line to get into my lane.. I tried ot get his attn first by hitting the horn, then by kicking his door.. Seems his phone call was more important then my well being.. He taps me the bike low sides and slides into the ditch with me slightly ahead of it.. I dislocated my right shoulder, road rahed my butt, left thigh, and left arm.. Ruined a pair of jeans, and a 2 week old X11 helmet.. Bike has frame slidders and swing arm slidders so it came out in good shape...
I was feeling ok after the Dr poped my shoulder back in( no drugs sweet) and dug all the pebbles and what not out of my butt.. Heck i even went in to work last night lol.. Woke up this morning and could hardley move..
