Blancas down !

I don't think anyone is gonna laugh at your misfortune. At least you lived to tell about it. I could tell you not to beat yourself up about it, but you'll do it anyway (so would I). Chicks dig scars. Hope you get it fixed up to your satisfaction soon!

Soo....any video?
 
Of all the possible get offs, I'd take one of those any time of day. Glad you are OK, and the bike is mostly OK.

Now, what's the deal with using the rear brake at all?

Well IG the rear brake wasn't my first thought but when I got down to last ten feet or so in my last millisecond and realized I wasn't gonna clear it panic set in and over rode common thought and I gave her a bit of rear brake . Obviously it was too much .

Well first Im glad you were able to walk and ride away from it.


Looks like the car got the worst of it, Must have been that hard head of yours :laugh:


No name calling here, Its easy to let your mind drift a little while riding, Not smart but easy to do.

Once again Saiid Im glad your OK.
is this going to slow your posting any, We have a pool going and I need an edge to work with :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

No although my left hand is still numb I'll still be able to stay in front of you .

Don't mean to pry........... well I guess I do mean to pry :laugh:

How did she take it :poke: :laugh: Is she going still let you come out an play with us :) Glad you made it. I watched the whole incident unfold, let me tell you was hard to watch. All it takes is the loss of a second, 00:01 amount time in concentration can ruin anyones day.

Can happen and does happen to a lot of people though not every one pays for it, and don't realize that they zoned out for a sec.

Well let's just say my knee and wrist don't hurt as much as my ears do :)
I'm surprised you couldn't hear her screaming all the way to Miami !
She's a loving but pissed wife and naturally concerned . It's understandable .
 
Don't worry, it'll BUFF OUT :oh: , YOUR Knee that is :laugh: . But the bike will have to be fixed :duh:

Keith the GoPro battery died about ten minutes before . When we stopped I saw it was shut off . I had spare battery but decided not to put it in cuz I wanted to save it for the ride home . I am really kicking myself for not loading it in and getting GoPro going again as it most definitely would have been a must see video . :banghead:
 
Glad you are ok! I have a foot peg if you need it, not powder coated though...
 
dang blanca, just saw this thread and thought "NO WAY!! NOT BLANCA!!" I always look forward to your posts bc u are always giving us great advice, and willing to go far and beyond to do whatever u can to help other org members. Then i noticed this post and my stomach about hit the floor. Very sorry to see this, but extremely glad u are ok with no major injuries. Damage doesn't seem too bad, hope u get her fixed up quick.
 
if u would have posted this just a day earlier, i would have a set of oem footpegs on the way to travis@tmpowdercoating, then on their way to u. I just sent him my trex frame slider posts yesterday, and i could have sent the pegs to, if i would have known sooner
 
Glad you came out OK and there was no damage to the wheels. I am sure she will be back on the road soon and running stronger than ever.
 
That is a real bummer man, but these things can and do happen.
Know how you feel, Sunday was a somewhat rough day for my Busa too.
Glad to hear you didn't get hurt either.
 
INS is being very nice so far . Was asked to go get an estimate and forward it to them.
After that they are willing to cut me a check and allow me to put parts on myself .
Hemi thanks for offering the peg but I think it will be ok if I just have it powder coated again .
I'm pretty sure the estimate from dealer will be more expensive than ordering the parts online so I should be ok .
The bike is totally fine and as mentioned I rode her home over 200 miles .
In a way it's good I hit car semi sideways and not straight on .
Wheels and front fender and all that are still perfect .
 
Dont beat yourself up about it too bad. Happens to everyone at one point or another :beerchug: Have a beer and laugh about it!
 
what about the fairings? U plan on having them repainted or replaced? U are correct about being lucky hitting them sideways, straight on collision would probably be more extensive damage and u would probably have been thrown off the bike into the tailgate/rear window
