Well I've been laid up for awhile now and will be out of the bike game for a few weeks or so. I was on my way back from picking up wheels from a friend of mine who trued them up, I try to use my motorcycle for most all of my daily commuting. Well on the way back from getting the wheels I was traveling on one of my favorite back roads. Long story short a mini van heading the opposite direction as me turned left in front of me. It was either hit the van head on or try to stop I down shifted and got on the brakes a tad to hard it seems. I layed the bike down hard and slid something like 50 feet or so on my back and head. I hit the ground hard enough the crack my helmet. I ended up losing my glove in the slide so my hand is torn up pretty bad. my armoured coat and helmet took most of the damage, The bike a 03 klr 650 faired pretty well it lost some fairings and part of the rear rack as well as a clutch handle and shifter, But it still runs and will be rebuilt. I'm just glad to walk away two days before my accident I attended the funeral of a friend killed in a motorcycle accident. Moral of the story wear your darn helmet!
