Crazy! I didnt hear about your accident, glad you are OK!!
Hey folks,
Sorry I have been MIA in this thread recently, I assure you I have a good excuse.
Coming back from Port Dover on Friday the 13th I got into an accident with my motorcycle on Highway 6. An RV type vehicle decided to turn into a gas station at 80 KM/hr without signalling. The guy behind him, a civic, slammed on his brakes in hopes of not hitting the RV. I was behind the civic and had to brake extremely quickly in order to not hit the civic! (I was not tailgating). So apparently, my Ninja was not a big fan of braking hard at 80 KM/hr and locked up the front tire. I was thrown from my bike and the bike slid into the oncoming lane. Thankfully, I rolled, slid, and banged around in the comfort of my own lane.
After all this, besides some road rash here and there, I am doing surprisingly well today. I believe this is mainly due to all the gear I was wearing plus my backpack that I had on, which contains even more armour. However, I can't say the same for my baby Ninja which was deemed as a total loss by my insurance company
So just wanted to give an update. Hopefully no one has to go through the same experience because it truly is traumatizing.
Ride safe, folks!
That's a ton of suck. GWS.

There are a couple rides happening tomorrow (Sunday May 6) . One in the morning, and one around 2pm.
We'll be joining up with a few other riders from milton/sauga. To be honest, I'm not sure what route we are taking or where we are meeting up yet. I have a few friends in sauga and milton, so the plan is to meet up sometime tomorrow and go from there.
please come out, the more the merrier.
PM me if you wanna join. Ill check my messages tomorrow morning before leaving.
im at sherman/rymal

Hopefully everyone here knows about Mineral Springs / Sulphur Srings Rd. Great road, but have to really slow down at times.
