I hear squealing tires look down in the mirror to see red and bam to the ground me and the new bike go.....GRRR. Could have been worse and I am only bruised but dang brand new bike. He says my brakes arent working very well, I say no DUH ( not in those words...

You must have amazing self restraint for not killing him. Sorry about crash but happy your not hurt.

+1 Glad you're OK, bike can be repaired.

Wow, that really sucks bro, glad you're ok.

Look on the bright side, that spud gun is totaled, insurance should cover the cost of a full AreaP and this would be the perfect opportunity to increase performance with a Neutron Silver paint upgrade

Glad you are OK, I do hope you went to the ER to get checked out, pain has a way of waiting a day before she lets you in on her secret.

Did not go to ER will tomorrow if needed...New pipe is already on order maybe he will pay for it for me...

Glad your OK. It really took a lot of damage. It may be totaled.

jqram35 · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:01:46 PM »

Only plastic damage..and I doubt that since it is a week old

So sorry to see you got hit. Just a couple hours ago I was showing my wife the nice color of your new bike. Just checked in again and holy crap. I'd (I can't write all this. Lets just use the word censored!!!!) Good luck with the fix. Glad you walked away to see another day. Have them fix it to original and do the farkling as planned. That way when you buy your 2014 C-14 you can put all the OEM parts back on it when you sell it.

Hoping they will send me a check, I will fix and farkle at same time...

jqram35, First and foremost glad that you are here to tell us how minor your physical injuries are. This could have been deadly and life changing for a lot of people. It brings up something that I think about every time I stop, scanning the mirrors until at least two cars are stopped behind me. When we get a new rider at work and he is in training I harp on possible left turns in front of him and cages coming from the rear. Thanks for reminding us and good luck on your health and repairs.

Very true and I was not paying attention to that, was thinking about not losing the person I was following. But I would have had no where to go, cars were already in the intersection in front of me...

No "maybe" about it. Fix 'er up, ride on. And take a couple aspirin, just in case.

As long as he doesn't tell you that his insurance doesn't work so well you'll be ok. Glad you were not injured!

Jeremy Mitchell · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:54:38 PM »

First off, I am glad you are well enough to tell us about the idiot cager. Second, which exhaust did you order? The stock exhaust (slip-on) runs about $900 so that should buy you whichever slip-on or full exhaust that you desire. Choose wisely......

jqram35 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 30, 2012, 05:59:22 PM »

Stock exhaust (on line) was $784. I ordered Two Brothers Black Series Carbon Fiber slip-on yesterday.. Should be here by Friday.

Good call! My 2 Bros. sounds great.

Wow....sorry that happened to you. I'm glad you were not on a small bike. From the looks of things, you must have had your brakes on to avoid being kicked forward into an intersection or another car?

Glad you're ok. Get that puppy fixed and do some riding.
