I was driving on I95 south. Everything felt normal, when all of a sudden my front tire went mushy. At the time I was on a on ramp to turning doing 70mph. I knew if I hit the front brake It would have made it worse. The bike stop turning and starting going straight. I hit the rear brake as hard as I could but it was too late. I hit the guard rail doing about 60mph then landed on the right side where me and the bike intially rolled over each other then I slide for god knows how far. This was in rush hour traffic. When I came to, I saw a car barely miss hitting me. I got up and put my shoe back on and walked to my bike(mine you I was not thinking straight) and picked bike up. Bike isn't so heavy when you that much in shock. Bike was smoking and front rim and fork was bent. I want to say at least 10 cars go out and ran to me to see if I was ok. At that time I did not feel anything nor did I think I had a bruise. They were all worried and extremely nice. They didn't wait for the abulance so one offered to take me to the hosiptal. I did not have any broken bones nor head injuries and I am extremely lucky to be alive. My entire right arm has road rash and most of my knee has no skin left to the point where you can actually see my bone or knee cap all I know is that it is white. And a few bumps and bruises all over my body. I hope anything that reads this stays safe and make sure your tires are in perfect shape because you never know what could happen.
Once I get my bike back from the inpound I'll take pics of it and my injuries.
