6. '05 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R: involved in a non-fault accident on January 19. Unfortunately ran into a Chrysler Crossfire that was pulling an illegal U-Turn on a busy highway. Totaled...

That really sucks.  I can only imagine how pissed you were.  How badly were you hurt?  I hope not too bad.  The LE is just around the corner...

Thanks for the concern Warbrown. My wife and I sustained minor injuries (she has a hairline fracture on her elbow and I had hard contusion to the groin area. Most likely from the gastank). We were both wearing our gear so we were both very fortunate to be alive and not paralyzed. Aside from that, HELL YEAH I'm pissed (AND BUMMED)that I lost my first Busa just because some irresponsible cager decides to illegally make a U-Turn in the middle of the road. As soon as the swelling subsides I'd like to get my hands on an 05 LE. Gotta take care of the insurance and medical settlements first.

OUCH! Wow, I'm glad you both walked away in fairly good shape after that one...so sorry to hear about it though...

I hope things work out for you with the insurance claim... View attachment 543025

Thanks Michelle. Just received official word from my attorney that the adjuster said that my 05 Busa with only 1200 miles is a total loss. It's sad day yet I wouldn't wanna ride something that's been in a hard collision. I do plan on getting a new one but for right now, it's time to heal....
