Last ride of the Season and a guy hits me and then nudges me over while turning across traffic at a stop sign. I thought he was going to turn right, I was in the left lane, as he was in the right lane but instead he turned left as I started to go cutting me off and dumping my brand new 06. He basically pushed me over on the left side while hitting me on the right. I picked the bike up and then dropped it again from weak knees. Shit! :angry2: He drove off and I was left with a a broken right mirror, a scraped left mirror, scrapes on both the right and left bags, a cracked front cowling, a scraped left cowling and a scratched up crankcase cover. I've ordered some replacement parts however cannot find where to get bags although I'll take them to a body shop and see if they can repair the scratches as they are not that bad. No I didn't have sliders on as I did not get them yet. It would have been a good test to see how much they would really protect. I keep thinking as cold as it was I should have just stayed home...yeah I know, don't blame yourself however if I'd just stayed home my new ride would have been perfect. I am banged up and have some minor road rash but not hurt as bad as it could have been. Stay alert out there....you just never know when someone will cut across lanes and cause you a headache.
