Damn. Just damn. It was my own stupid fault. I was going to fast for road conditions and what my skill allowed. Coming in too hot on a right hand turn which got sharper and sharper. Attempted to slow down, which was a dummy mistake, bike stood up and I went into the gravel and layed 'Er down on the clutch side.

Clutch lever is broken, front fairing and fairing stay is broken, shift lever is broken and all fairings are scratched up on the left side.

I'm so happy I was wearing all my gear like I do, all the time. My leg and my back hurts but it all kept me rash free.

I am grateful I did not damage that '13 Corse SE only aluminum tank. But damn, I'm pretty upset at myself. SMDH.

Dammit. Now my neck is starting to really hurt. I'm ready to take my lashings.

shit happens! crashes are good excuses for upgrades, glad your safe!

A crash you can walk away from is a good one. Rest up, and like daledo said, start looking at upgrades. There are those of us who have, and those of us who will

I say once youre bike is fixed up, its time for trackdays. I rode for years on the street and thought i knew how to ride, knew how to turn a motorcycle. Nope. Trackdays taught me a thousand times more....

 

[Dmitriy5099]

Sorry to hear about your wreck. Glad you're okay. That's why the gear is so important. The bike can be fixed. Now start working on improving your skill as it seems like the wreck could of been easily avoided

 

[ducktard]

Ha ha ha!! Stupid [email protected]#er!!

JK.. . As long as you can walk away all is good.. i call the money it costs to fix the bike tuition..and ive paid a lot of tuition. Unfortunately ive learned nothing.. so dont be like me

 

[BMiller]

Glad you're around to post about it. Bikes are repairable/replaceable.

Best advice you'll ever see here. You'll gain in every possible way!

Don't kick porcupines with bare feet.

After track you get a new perspective on streets and highways. It's not bad but you'll have new tools and have a heathy attitude about not having to push it, a better gauge of the % you are at.

Sometimes we play and sometimes we pay... glad you're OK, take some Advil.

Thanks a lot! I'm feeling much better. I Haven't touched the bike yet, or even looked at it since this happened. I guess I'll get to it when I get to it. Im really kind of avoiding it. lol.

I really do need to go to the track once I get 'er all fixed up.

There are only two kinds of riders. Those who have crashed and those who will crash. Welcome to the club.

Track days are the best thing you can do. I really need to get out for one again as well. They're such a rush.

Hope you're ok.

sounds strangely familiar...

Glad you're ok

Important things already stated. Think back on what happened, try to avoid it in the future, schedule a track day or 2 etc.
what really made an impression to me though is your attitude. You take responsibility, you don't blame others and it seems that you know what caused the whole thing. Bravo !
As someone already said think of it as tuition.
Wish we were all like this.
