1. Riding back home from work around 9:30 pm. On the left lane, cager pulls a left turn right front of me: no indications what so ever....Bike low slided. small fracture on my index finger and general pain on the shoulder and right side of body. Luckily I was wearing full gear (CE approved armor etc and riding pants as well) In the end the cops caught them because they were drinking and driving and hit 3 other people after me lol. (bike was written off 06 gixxer 600)
2. Forks of Credit - First time ever didn't know anyone...after the "ice cream" break we were heading back I guess and didn't expect that downhill right away - Was going too fast and fixated on all that sand/gravel on the turn..by the time I realized I was way too high up in gear (4th gear i think) I started to shift down ASAP..but I was still too concentrated with that crap on the ground sand/gravel...lol Low slided again..somehow i hopped off the bike and watched my bike go down the hill a good 10 meters or so...Damage: not even a scratch on myself and only right mirror was scratched on the bike..Frame slider was saved to almost nothing though.
3. You most likely know about it: Going to work, Kite string gets caught on my neck off the hydro poles...yeah wtf right? lol... Damage: I made sure there was none to the bike first haha (got off nicely and made sure the bike was on the stand) next I realized my entire shirt was soaked in blood and the story continues..
4. Riding to work again...as it's almost identical to
kcalB..first post: Asian cager about 3 meters away from the while line. Pedestrian presses the crosswalk button, he decided to speed u! and then I guess he changed his mind and SLAMS the brake (Maybe my fault since i was right behind him and I thought he wasn't stopping as he sped up) I break as hard as I can but still touched his bumper and put a small crack on it.
End result: I agreed to pay for the damage (no point arguing a rear end collision) ...and we went to a near by shop. Mechanic there estimated $400 for the bumper repair with warranty. Cager disagrees and threatens me that he will go to reporting center unless I go to his shop. I agreed (figured it might be around the same cost more or less). They both speak Chinese and laugh/make jokes (possibly about how they are gonna rip me up here)..the cost comes at a staggering $1200!! So I said screw that and I went over to the reporting center.
I pretty much wrote down exactly what I typed above and when the broker called me she's like okay "I'm putting him at fault" LOL. So honestly does pay off
Misc. stuff
5. I'm at work and this random guy who I've never seen in my life..decided to walk by my bike and push it over -.-
I witnessed this whole thing as I work across the street...anyways long story short...got into a fight with the guy and held him down till the cops arrive. I had to suck it up and pay for the damages since the guy was homeless t.t)
6. Lady rear ended my bike white it was parked on the street, but luckily left a note on the bike with her number...It hit the ground pretty hard and a lot of the left side was damaged (broken mirror, small dent on the tank, tail fairing broken, etc). Bike wouldn't start..somehow it fell on the clutch lever and messed up the gear box..couldn't even shift up anymore. So that ended up as a write off (07 gixxer)...bought it back from the insurance to fix it up myself but it was a lot more work then I anticipated so I sold it off dirt cheap. I did make about $1000 more then what I payed for it
Anyways all of that was on the 06/07 Gixxer. So far nothing on my 09 CBR yet
although it's only the 2nd season on it.
