Accident....

[zippo6]

So I decided to go out for a quick rip on Monday. Was in traffic behind 4 cars (one lane country road), pulled out to pass once it was clear at the same time 2nd car back pulled out too. He completed his pass and pulled back in, this is when I could see the oncoming lane of traffic and an oncoming car. I sped up to complete the pass and pulled back into my lane clearing all traffic..... this is when I saw the car, break lights and left hand turn signal :bang head:
I locked the wheels up but the impact was inevitable.... Here are some pics taken by my dad. (I've been in the hospital since Monday, had surgery last night to rebuild the bone above my ankle.)

Here's some pics of my bike:

That must have been a shit your pants moment...glad you're OK.

If I understand correctly after you cleared the pass there was another car trying to turn left in front of you?

 

[gamorg02]

[Redbone]

Damn I am sorry to hear this!! Fricking cagers not paying attention. I might have some stocker parts floating around you may need (some brand new) so let me know.

 

[one2dmax]

Ouch, well at least you are alive! Sounds like you got lucky you weren't run up into from behind.

Good thing you're still here, you will see soon you will be impatient to fix the bike.
Hope the monkey won't be too strong lol

 

[SpecOps13]

Ouch!!!!! The bike can be fixed, just so you can too.....

 

[naughtyG]

Never good to hear about anyone getting hurt, and the mangled bike tells a story I only know too well..
Heal up fast bro, we're all sending ya good vibes for a full and speedy recovery.

 

[Frosty72]

Sooo, the second car in line passed the first car and then decided to turn left all of a sudden. Sounds like a real dickhead move, maybe karma will creep up a bite him in the ass someday.

Hope the ankle heals up good as new.

 

[one2dmax]

Sounded to me like, the second car passed the first with him behind. Then he proceeded to pass that car (and going even faster) then came upon the car ahead of that 4 car pack.

Uuu, holy crap.
Im glad that You are OK!

 

[06VMAXIMUS]

Bike looks bad, glad to hear your OK. Parts can be replaced, people can't!

 

[jfeagins]

Ouch! That sucks.

Been there, done that - 3 surgeries, 2 pins and 22 months R and R. Used my free time off work to re-enroll in college, got my BA degree and never looked back.

Hang in there. It will all work out and that bike can be replaced. Hope your ankle heels quickly and turns out fine in the long run too.

 

[dannymax]

Really sorry to hear this Shane, that sux out loud!

Very glad you made it through....beaten up, for sure, but still breathing! Heal quickly brother and, as others have said, get us a list of parts and we'll fix you up.

 

[zippo6]

Morley is correct, entire incident was my fault.
I have only seen pics of the bike so far, but here is what I will need:
- Forks
- Front Fender
- both scoops
- Bars
- Levers
- Mini screen
- Water pump and cover - possibly the 90degree hose.
- Rad
- Brake Level
- Shifter
- Left Side peg
- likely some blinkers....
- mirrors - bar end

 

[Nobody]

OUCH! that s u c k s big time.

Lets look at the positive aspect of your crash...your alive to tell about it.

Take the insurance money and put it down on a 2009 V-Max, you can pick one up for 13-14K now.

Good luck
