Well to make a long story short, I was riding home from the motorcycle dealership after picking up a few quarts of oil and an oil filter for my blue/silver 01 Busa. I was within .2 miles of my house on an extremely busy twisty two lane road. I was following a new Subaru station wagon, we were both going about 50mph. Well the old bag driving the car decided she wanted to turn aburptly onto a side road and slammed on the brakes. Well I grabbed my brakes but it was too little too late. Luckily I didn't hit the old bag's car but I did lowside my bike ![cussing :cussing: :cussing:](https://www.hayabusa.org/images/smilies/cussing.gif)
I remember hearing the RPMs rev up and then my head hitting the pavement. My Busa ended up in the road's drainage ditch and a little bit stuck out into the road. The old bag stopped and started freaking out, apologizing for stopping so aburptly. She asked if I was ok and when I said yeah she got back in the car and drove away. A gravel truck driver stopped traffic and helped me pull the big ass Busa out of the ditch (damn she is a big bird). The right side fairing is trashed but luckily the tank and rear fairing is fine. The right stock exhaust can is trashed too. I need a new right fairing, headlight fairing, and front wheel fairing. I also need a new right mirror and exhaust can. The left side fairing is scuffed up at the bottom but nothing so bad that I want to spend $440 to fix it, at least right now.
I also need a new helmet. My head is hurting a bit right not but the HJC helmet did its job and protected my noggin (my head hit the pavement hard). If I didn't have a helmet I would NOT be typing this here today, I promise you that. My Teknic gloves saved my hands as well. I think I can keep them. I was wearing a very thick winter Carhart jacket and it projected my torso and arms. My right knee is burised and my elbow is bruised a bit. Nothing too bad though. It could have been worse, much worse. Pictures in a little bit.![sad :sad: :sad:](https://www.hayabusa.org/images/smilies/sad.gif)
