Dropped my baby after only 3 weeks of ownership

[Busa Brian]

So 6-2-11 I'm leaving work from the side exit.. Look both ways as I always do then something tells me to look again after I commit to accelerate. So I see this woman in a SUV moving at a fast pace out of no where so I grab the front brake to stop front tire hits small patch of sand and I loose control and drop my baby and the woman I tried to stop for just kept going and didnt even stop... Here are some pics of the damage

Nothing broken just a lil rash bruised up and torn ligaments

That sucks dude. I did the same thing on my old zzr 600.

that does suck. coulda been worse though. good job avoiding the hit of an suv. looks like repairable damage. do you have full coverage insurance?

 

[PADEROLIS]

Glad you are relatively alright!! It does look repairable though, we had a Kawi 650R traded in that had been dropped on it's left side. The body and paint guys fixed it in a few days and it looks great!

 

[JoshS]

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Did you have a jacket on? Not asking to be a burden just curious to the rash on the elbow.

Thank God she missed you when you went down. Hope you heal quickly.

 

[Busa Brian]

no full coverage but I learned from my dad who has riden for 30 years also fellow busa rider (former) step mom made him sell) to be your own insurance company so every week I throw 80 bucks in a savings account just in case something happens.. No jacket the one day I don't wear it.. never again... but i'm getting a few estimates in a couple days. its killing me not riding..

glad your alright it could of been alot worse!!! Live to ride another day

Heal up better sand, scuffs and scars than getting "t" d by a truck

[busabeast]

[ResidentEvil]

glad your ok, usually I tell people to SLAp themselves when they drop the bike , but thats only if your not moving and drop it, so you get a pass heal up quick

As long as you get better, that's all that matters. This just gives ya a reason to customize your baby, that's what I was thinking when I laid down my 03' down a bunch of years ago..

This is really bad luck a speedy recovery.

What he said friend. Heal up and don't be afraid of frame sliders...they are an ugly necessity.
