To all riders, please be careful out there. Last Sunday on my way back from Arlington National Cementary seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I was in a accident. I in De riding in traffic where the lanes merge. Me an a car was going into the next lane when an SUV tried to get into that lane. We were alaready in the lane. So as I started to go around that car. The person in the SUV hit the gas to get ahead of me an suddenly hit her brakes. Needless to say I caught the corner of the SUV. I spent 7 days in the hospital. i will be okay in time. Needless to say my blue k8 is done. It now has no front. I was doing about 85 when it happened. My whole left side of my body is tore up. For those looking to buy a good helmet. I recommend The Scorpion exo 1000. With all the damage done to my body. Not one scratch ic on my head. To all who read this. PLEASE be careful out there.
